          Yeah BJ thanks for showing us the 'sneak' preview.

          Looking forward to seeing that beast run in person.
          It's like an American version of Nomuken's R34 Skyline, HUGE 4 door high horsepower, good swing, we'll see.

          Good luck at the D1 Vs. NASCAR

            The V8 definately sounds better than the V10. I like mopar's approach of using just big cubes, and not a big turbo or blower to get the job done.

              got an email from sam about the testing, wish i could have made it out to shoot it, hopefully it will be in Wall!

              at 2 min 3 sec it looks like the right tire starts shaking crazy?

                  Hell yeah. For sure. Coming from just a Mopar fan, I think that all domestics should have a place in drifting.

                  And, from what was said before it does remind me of Nomuken's r34. And I think it would be awesome to see them go head to head!

                    Not as hot as the Viper but... wow. Dodge has their game on.

                    I can see domestics dominating the US drift series with programs like this and the RedBull RMR Solstice.
                    Too bad we don't get a Z06 Campaign anytime soon.

                      Sounds 1 million times better than the honda on steroids.....um I mean the Viper.

                      looks like they are still quit aways away from being competitive. I think it's safe to say that this car won't come out until D1 December or 2007 FD.

                        i noticed that too... somthin i see a lot with amature drifters. stock steering components has to be the cause. does anyone kno what causes the wheels to shake tremendously like that at high steering inputs while drifting? overboosted powersteering?

                          its obviously hitting full lock.

                          is that car still on stock steering?

                            The steering isn't stock but the angle isn't that much more than stock either. I asked Sam about it at the D1 vs NASCAR event.

                            He was supposed to run the charger for that but they broke the power steering pump.

                              elaborate why it shakes like that while at full lock
