SRT-8 Challenger at the track

[Mr. Luos]

I taped this Friday night.

To his credit....DA was 7700. Roughly a tenth or two slower than stock LS1 F-Body's run here.


The one run I got on camera...

I drove one of these and I hated it. It was like driving a tank. It steered horrible, and wasn't that fast.

wow so mopar made it that realistic to old cars?

[slowgtp]

Sad my first bone stock GTP ran 14.43, it wasn't as nice looking but for the diffrence in price I'll stick with the slow GTP's.

Take the GTP up to the same altitude and see what it would run.

The new Challengers are boats, we all know this. Not worth the money performance wise but that wont stop anybody from buying.

Wait till they come out with V6 models next year. Its gonna be really annoying.

I seen one at the track here. It went 13.2 in 90+ heat with high humidity (his first time out too). I'd say it'll run with any stock f body.

They already have a V6 model on the street. They can't even get outta their own way!

just because a SRT at a track ran 14s dont mean they all do .. but the SRT package is a handaling package .. For dragracing a RT with the same HEMI would go much faster

[ibanez7]

the challengers regardless of how fast/slow they might be still look like shit..

I hate this retro throw back crap. the look is old and dead for a reason, dont try to bring it back

Sorry man, but I'm going to have to vote false on that. Those things (and the new camaros) look sick. Based on looks alone I'd buy one... but it's not based on looks alone now is it.

Nice run, Luos!! When you want to get rid of it let me know

the new challenger looks just like a 72/73 challenger. I dont like the old ones or the new ones. actually I dont like mopar. LOL

the new camaro atleast is not a dead set throw back, it has many new modeling cues too it. However I would have prefered if the new camaro was an evolution off the 4th gen.

I prefer my sports car/performance cars to look sleak and mean, not boxed like a 4 door sedan.

the c6 has a perfect look, while maintaining an evolution from 53 on, which you can see if you line up every year vette next too eachother. something gm should have done with the camaro. the GTO however should have been the retro throw back

[gd1996]

Saw a vid of one in Italy, they had it up to 168mph... I'm waiting for a cheap one to come my way.

[gppracer]

seen one run 13.40 @ 110mph on street tires.It was an auto And i think they have a 308 gear.

[Mr. Luos]

Nice run, Luos!! When you want to get rid of it let me know

Thanks.

Starting to get more consistent 11's with it.
Although I still think it should be going 11.75 or so.

Come down here so you can break into the 10's

[slowgtp]

Ooops didn't see it was in Colorado. I retract my previous statement, I didn't think they would be that slow. I'll race one with my current mods though

I do like the looks of the Challenger though.

[Mr. Luos]

Ooops didn't see it was in Colorado.

Yeah.

We are VERY slow up here.
The Density Altitude was around 7700 at the time I took the video.
Which makes me happy with my car.

Luos- same here just let me know i got cash
