98 ss vs 09 challenger rt

**ivan1** · 05-01-2010, 11:43 AM

Last night I got a chance to race a buddy and his 09 challenger rt 6 speed( I think these things come with about 370 hp or so, I could be wrong). We race off a 40 km roll and in 2nd...by the time I hit third he had no chance of catching up, mind you that because of my nearly bald back tires the ass end of my car gave out and swirved side ways for a bit- but I beat him good.

actually i have to agree with above comment. They are failry heavy, at the beach a month ago i was driving down pch and this 300C pulled up on my a**. Then passed me reving it, i had no idea it was a SRT and i didnt think he wanted race due to traffic, could'nt get past 4000rpms and was easily keeping up with him with no issues and that was because of traffic i wasnt willing to cut in and out of lanes. When he busted a U Turn he had exhaust no doubt and was hella loud. If we were on the highway i would've no doubt pulled him but that doesnt matter all i can say is i had no issues keeping up. They are very heavy cars and i think stock to stock they will pull on a LS1 car but not big, a slow walk.
