I thought he was referring to the TBSS because a 14.4 sucks so bad for an LS2.

yeah but it was off the lot straight to the track. i had about 50 miles on it when i got there.

SRT-8s make good power but i have heard they are one of the hardest motors to work on plus there isnt really an aftermarket parts selection for them

[Roastem]

As far as per mod power, those HEMI motors might be a little better than our LSX blocks.

Adding a cam alone gives massive power, or so I've heard through the grapevine.

[TrickStang37]

yeah, the HEMI is a monster! too bad they dont really have cars you can put them in though!

I know, huh? Those 12second, 110mph trap speed, super-practical, big 4-doors with all sorts of luxury items that handle great for a sedan...just plain suck.

yeah, specially their 10mpg city fuel millage... the only Automatic Trans... and the 4100lbs curb weight...

It is a four door car man. A family type car, and thus brick shithouse heavy. They are nice, don't get me wrong, but the Challenger is a hot-rodders type of vehicle. Two doors, reasonable weight, and a manual tranny.

I am sorry, but auto trannies are just not as fun to drive as manuals. Plus, you can "play" a manual tranny car (with a good exhaust) like an instrument. My friends can tell if I am driving a car just by the way it sounds going through the gears.

The Challenger is where it's at. I will take mine orange, long-tubes, Borla exhaust, big cam, and a custom paint job, lets see the American flag on top (don't want to get controversial), and black 08 painted on the doors. (cause I got an 8" meat cannon )


YEEE FKKN HAAAWWW

That 90minute GM commercial targeted towards the teenage crowd was fun to watch.

Go watch "Vanishing Point", the original and remake and then make a fair and balanced decision (Challenger vs. Camaro) on what car to buy based on some movie....

But I agree, 4100lbs, 13 city and 4 doors does have it's limitations...but that is the sacrifice of performance and size.

Lol, the TBSS can do high 13s stock, the AWD ones, msot are low 14s, with a few bolt ons mid to low 13s are easy. Those SRT8s are high high 12s, most run low 13s. So with the extra weight, that thing was a low 14 second car. Lol

Those numbers are kinda quick from the ones I have seen. The best I have seen stock in my area is high 14's. I have never seen a TBSS even come close to hanging with a SRT 8 even with a car load. YOur only talking about a few tenths of a second.

well im not full of bull shit. and big d you know that our tbss's are good from the start untill 80 then its a brick. you find me a srt-8 with a 1000+ pounds of fat and ill put money on it and win every time.

on a side note when it was hot at the track last month this srt-8 could not get bellow 14's(he ran about 5 times) and i was running 13.8 all stock.

[440 rwhp trans am]

i just got another kill in it yesterday! i got a lt1 impalla ss same road and got him by a few cars till 65-70ish.

[nitrobusa]

I just sold my TB SS. It had a Vector tune and cold air intake and it ran 13.51 They run real good till 1000ft and then their fat ass dies....... They are heavy but ride like caddys. I miss mine but not the gas mileage. 12.6 avg.
