wouldnt you see more srt 8 challengers seeing as how they have been out longer and are what all the enthusiasts buy?

So how do you guys think I'll do vs an auto 09 SRT8 Charger?

It should get you if you are stock. Only one way to find out though

**Eric1987** · 11-22-2008, 01:51 PM

He should get me? God damnit. Well from a dig or roll? Or both?

what mods do you have?

**Eric1987** · 11-22-2008, 02:04 PM

Just the free ram air mod.

Really depends on how good you can drive. I saw an old man go 13.1/106 in a bone-stock '02 WS6 vert back in 2002.

Well I've never been to a track yet. What are some decent times for auto SRT8 chargers?

Saw one at SRW about a month and a half ago that was going 13.3-13.4. Not sure of the trap.

**Eric1987** · 11-22-2008, 02:35 PM

Well then I have a chance but not a very good one of winning...

Your an M6 right?

**Eric1987** · 11-22-2008, 02:37 PM

Yeah M6. Convert. 6 disc changer. Gonna be taken out soon to get rid of weight + IPOD hookup.

**Cayenne97** · 11-22-2008, 02:41 PM

You have a much better chance taking one from a dead stop. Those SRT-8's have big cubes and lots of low end torque and he might not be able to hook that great. From a roll though i'd have to put my money on the Challenger.

**Eric1987** · 11-22-2008, 02:42 PM

Its a charger but they're kinda the same right?

**Cayenne97** · 11-22-2008, 02:44 PM

Oh yeah that's right, were talking about the Charger now. Yup, pretty much the same. They both weigh about 4000lbs!

I was thinking you had an auto. Youll get them from a dig.

No, the Challenger is a two door, it weighs only about 3950 LOL!

On the web they say from 4100 to around 4200 pounds...

Im just saying, all you have to be able to do is launch it well, after that the tranny does the work, you dont have to shift at all. I dont know why youd buy a manual SRT-8 considering road and track as well as car and driver both said the Autos were faster.
