The  FWD MOPAR DAILY DRIVER  1/4 mile   list


Updated Nov 19, 2001
            There are 1/4 mile lists on the web for all kinds of FWD Mopars, but here is the one for TRUE daily drivers. If you have a FWD Mopar that's driven on the street almost every day,  please send in some info and a timeslip photo.  I will determine if it's a true daily driver, and will put up your best STREET TIRED  (regular radials; not specialty tires) run, with your best "sticky-tired" run on the side.
            This is a list of how quickly FWD Mopars  can run ( cars that you might actually bump into at a stop light) "as-is" on the street.
            This sign  #  denotes nitrous use in race trim...

Records of the list are in red.
Minivans are in orange.

           Honorable mention:

       Joe O'Connor has a car with no exhaust; just a large downpipe. Most won't consider it a real street car or daily driver. Yet Joe says that he drives it to work, the grocery store, and around town, without getting busted. His 85 Daytona Turbo Z ran 13.3 at 111 on street tires. Good going!!
