Doubt it.
Riff raff is hooked
because we were the only one. If everyone would have had 700hp car in 2015 it would have spread out. Dodge has never been the top cool kid when others have something similar. Back in school in the 80s I was the only Mopar fan around.

I was there 😎. Ron ran the 8.97 after a 9.0 pass and then backed it up with a 8.96. Absolutely beautiful car. I had a chance to look at everything and confirmed with Ron that it is 100% stock except for the Legions allowed wheels/tires and weight reduction. He told me that he will never do anything to void the warranty. So there you have it. He’s first and I think we can expect these things to go faster than the factory times much sooner than the original took to even break into the nines. Very impressive 🤯

Based on the package I felt 9.0 for sure. Texas should be fun. I hope the DA is great and many show up

Bad ass car !!!
Expensive
But bad ass nonetheless

Depending on the track surface prep I m sure these guys are still pulling power out

Lets see how they hold up going forward

I don’t know anything other than I saw him make the passes and briefly looked at his car and confirmed he was factory stock as far as the motor and drivetrain goes (and he plans to keep it that way). I was busy running my own car (which ran 8.2’s btw)

What's the lightest front wheel tire setup and cost?

My Racestar Darkstar 18x4.5 setup with M&H Racemaster front runner is 38lbs looks like current prices have the setup around $1100 to $1200

These tires are DOT if that matters.
