Put the CJ on a rallyx track aswell to make a fair comparo
 That rallyx car isnt slow in a straight line but the CJ made it look slow.

Rallycross still ran a 10, pretty impressive. But that CobraJet sounds great!

Nice Vid, unfortunately it gives the rest of the world the impression that Yank V8 divers all talk like Jeff Foxworthy.
You might be a redneck if........

the Festy ran out of gear at about 1100ft, still fast.
CJ's are just wicked, be nice if we get a option like that in the future for a turn key drag racer.

Gee, you think the rallycross car would do better than a drag car on a rallycross course? That seems so counterintuitive. I mean, even though I said the results were as expected, I was really surprised that the car designed for drag racing excelled on a dragstrip. It's an American Ford, after all. Surely on an Australian dragstrip its taillights would disintegrate by the 60-foot mark.

Mustang did well considering the weight disadvantage it had in the driver's seat.

Besides, the pretend Cobra Jets are significantly faster than the real ones. But I see I'm doing a great job of displeasing all of the people, all of the time.
