I have been a MOPAR owner since 1969 when I purchased my first new MOPAR, a Q5 A12, 1969 Super Bee SIX PACK coupe. I still have the car along with an Alpine White 440-6 Superbird, 1966 Dart, 1966 Coronet 440, 1998 Neon R/T, 2005 Commemorative Edition SRT 4, 2021 Charger GT AWD, 2021 Indigo Blue Challenger Scat Pack Widebody, which I will be selling, 2022 RAM 2500 Cummins long bed, and I am still waiting on my 2023 Challenger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak Widebody to get it to my dealer. I am an Army Vietnam Veteran, 1967-68. I have a wife Cathy and a daughter Heather. I am 75 years old and I still work 5 days a week and I Drag race my 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 and the Scat Pack once in a while. I hope to learn a few things about my car if it ever gets here. Luckily, I paid off the Scat Pack a few months ago and I will be using it as a down payment.

Welcome from the MGC, congratulations, AND Thank you for your service!!

Welcome, sir! What a great Mopar arsenal you have!

The 315 35 17 is to smal.
you want the 315 50 r17 if you can find them if not the 315 55 r17

Thank you, Jon., I wasn't thinking. No sidewall, no flex, no traction.

The vent wings are tricky. There are a couple of integral rivets in the chrome frame but you cannot beat them down to hold the galvanized wing frame. I used a thin coat of epoxy and tried to beat the edge of the rivets over but hitting on them (I had a 2x4 under the frame) started to crack the chrome on the outside so I just glued them in.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

I’m not familiar with their sizes. But that’s a short tire. Mikey Thompson is the most popular tire around here. That 35 needs to be a 50 or 55. Need all the sidewall you can get.
welcome btw. Happy to see more racers around here.

Thank you. I wasn't thinking clearly and yes the 50 or 55's are better to give some flex/wrinkle in the sidewalls.

My Redeye fell through, and I am now only getting a Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak Widebody in B5. What times should I expect in the Eighth and the Quarter mile on Drag Radials? I am losing 90 hp but also $11,000 in MSRP.

Stock Challengers with drag radials and a diff brace should net you just into the 10s, maybe low 11s. Each car seems to be a little different.
