something isnt right in the numbers here..

the challenger concept weighs 4160lbs. i would assume that this one is lighter, but how much lighter could it really be? it has 540bhp...assuming a drivetrain loss of 18%, that would put about 442 to the wheels. with that amount of whp, the car would need to weigh about 2250lbs to break into the high 9s. granted, i am using a "track calculator" which doesnt account for all factors such as gearing and altitude, but the bottom line is that 540bhp isnt going to put a 4100lb car any where near the 9s. these writers who "believe him", probably havent ever been to a track, or turned a wrench on a drag car to know what is actually needed to run in the 9s. curt george's challenger ran low 9s, and he had something like 1100hp...
