I like it. But
When I saw that first pic, I could tell that was at Lone Star Raceway. Now known as Hennessy's track & for no one else. :mad:

Bump. While the Durango was worked over, I agree @vortecd, it is quite a feat. A guy could surprise many with one of those. That is one of those that demonstrates “there is always someone quicker”.:LOL::ROFLMAO:

I put zero stock in these modded-tuned-and-tweaked anything vs. a bone stock anything else comparisons.

Pour enough money into a John Deere and it'll win.

Sure, I agree, entertaining to watch.

I'd like to see a run to top speed against that same 'Vette.

And then my 12-year old bone stock ZR1 in the same 1/4 mile and top speed runs.

Hennessey's only going to show you the race they know they can win...

yeah.....and they weren't even using the stock blower on the Durango, they switched it out for a Magnuson, which takes it even further away from stock.

Oh, I remember now, because they never prepped the track anyway so it doesn't matter which way you go down the track. :LOL:

Oh well, if you want to just run some heavy Mopar against it, I’ll do your Vette with my old tired ‘19 stock powered Redeye.

Hey welcome from another AF Vet! Thanks for serving.

As a former Corvette owner myself, they are not anything special or fast. The last one who sat at a red light revving it hard challenging me to a race, was too embarrassed at the next red light to pull up far enough to get right beside me. You better be driving a very specially built vette before you pull up beside a bike and start revving it, or else go hunt down a moped, or pedal bike, not a street bike. And as I was just riding regularly that day for enjoyment, wasn't in a go like hell mindset, so it was only a half assed launch at best.
