**ls1speedster** · 10-18-2007, 05:50 PM

the other day i was in a local fairly good size town....

this nice orange charger r/t the hemi gets up beside me 22's on it...didnt look bad really....we was just cruising....then of course a red light comes...
we both easied into it...then i got on it a little then he nailed, then it was on..i took off i hit about 110 he was ever so slowly pulling away..he had .5 a car on me....

110 in a 40 (never bad)

i didnt expect to win them hemi's have some balls..
hung with him better than i thought

im stock 02 t/a a4

just thoughtd id share..

Yea those hemis have some power but weight a ton.
Good kill BTW

**JwMonE99** · 10-18-2007, 08:03 PM

Oh yea the charger having 22s wasnt helping him either

**fwellingtonfiii** · 10-19-2007, 08:23 AM

Wait.... so the Charger won?? From what I've heard, only the SRT-8's can hang with a mosty stock LS1, and the R/T's pretty much don't stand a chance.... I could be wrong here but thats what I've been hearing.

it had to be an SRT-8 or a modded R/T, my folks have a 300C hemi (same thing as R/T charger) they're 340-350hp and theres no way it could hang with a stock LS1, i mean its quick and all for weighing 4500lbs or whatever it is but not that quick, SRT-8 is another story

Don't forget about the aftermarket. There is infact a small market for the hemi-powered cars to pick up a little xtra oomph! But stock for stock, no way an R/T could run with an LS1.

**ls1speedster** · 10-19-2007, 01:39 PM

he ran with me

i dunno if it was stock or not..sounded stock..it was a daytona charger r/t

they weigh 4300
doesnt a t/a wiegh in at 44

**fwellingtonfiii** · 10-19-2007, 01:55 PM

t/a or camaro=3350-3600 lbs.

**ls1speedster** · 10-19-2007, 08:38 PM

my door jam doesnt say its that light...
i could be looking at the wrong numbers..there are alot on a little sticker

**DE98TA** · 10-19-2007, 08:54 PM

your car should take out even a lightly modded one...

**Speedy_Gonzales** · 10-19-2007, 09:03 PM

I got a srt8 by 2 cars top end..........I am stock

**basballny2** · 10-19-2007, 10:15 PM

T/A's are around 3400lbs. . . . the R/T will run about a second slower than a stock ls1 and a SRT-8 will run almost identical times as an ls1(425hp 420 ft/lbs.)

**Shermanator86** · 10-19-2007, 10:34 PM

was it a daytona or they have the super bee srt's that look about the same, or he just could have been modded pretty good i guess, i've heard headers and intake wake the hemis up pretty good

**NiteRiderWs6** · 10-19-2007, 10:34 PM

a charger R/T is not beating an ls1 stock for stock....when i was stock(2000 A4 WS6) i let one get the jump on me and still walked him by 2-3 cars and still pulling

**Deuuuce** · 10-20-2007, 12:10 AM

Especially with 22s. Should have been a definitive kill. Something wrong w/ your car?

**ImpalaSSpeed96** · 10-20-2007, 01:09 AM

Wow... Dude had to be modded and or you got somethin up w/ your car. They are mid 14 second cars stock.

**ls1speedster** · 10-20-2007, 10:35 AM

i dunno it hasnt been acting right.
ive been bouncing off the rev limiter ever since ive ran 93 and the k&n filter...

but in that certain race i didnt bounce off the rev limiter...i slowly got in it and it didnt kicke down as hard.that could've been the problem..

he didnt sound modded tho

**Mr. Luos** · 10-20-2007, 10:43 AM

Just because he should win or he should lose...doesn't mean it will go that way on the street.

My T/A weighed in at 3580 at Bandimere two weeks ago. I have an iron block and Moser 9" rear, so that is added weight over stock.

**hutch1999** · 10-20-2007, 11:00 AM

Anything can happen. I understand the T/A should have won but you guys have to remember that our stock A4s are not the greatest from a roll.
