The gosl of a car manufacturer is to sell cars.
The race fuel you speak of is what, E85? My Silverado can run on the stuff. 100 octane unleaded gas can be purchased at the gas pump in many laces. I love drag racing!!! Dodge did good.....
I agree, it's pretty cool, but again - one trick pony, arguments are made that Dodge is fine with this - I think you agree? The Chassis is outdated, it's going on what 11 years now. It's heavy! How many Camaro fans would have loved if they came out with a Gen 6 Camaro on the Zeta platform but it had 750 HP...some..but not ME!!!

You know what, I can go by an Gen 5 ZL1 with LSA and throw on a huge blower and have a 1200 HP car and probably cost me total $50K.
