I have to tell you about my husbands
racecar, a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A. It's a former Paul Rossi Super
Stocker during the 70's. This car have a 446" Mopar engine with a
small Nitrous Oxide system, a 727 tranny plus a Dana 60 axle with
4.10:1 gear. This season the Challenger ran 9,91 on a
1/4 mile (730 hprs...) Its weight is 3,500 lbs.
Above:
The Challenger run by Paul
Rossi.
This car has a racey history
and it has almost always been a racecar. Paul Rossi bought the car from
Dave Koffel and was remodified into a Super Stocker in 1973. The original engine, a 340
T/A, was used in Nascar and the car was left over. Paul Rossi had a 'Cuda
and this Challenger became his next racecar.

This is a picture of the Challenger as it look like
today. Now the car is going back to a Super Stock racecar. The
Challenger is built for Super Stock from the beginning.
