sounded like the charger had exhaust. the buick is a park avenue, n/a 3.8. charger takes off at light, i punched it while still in first and held even. it pulled me a little bit but jesus christ i almost bought one of those to replace my old v6 firebird. i was depressed.

actually if you read on challenger forums, all r\t's run low 13's.Quote:

One of the guys I work with has one of those yellow rumblebee charger R/T thingys. He swears he stomps G8's and Mustang GT's all the time. Has never been beaten; he's quite amazing to listen to. Yet, amazingly, whenever I mearly suggest taking the cars to a country road and "playfully" seeing what they can do... he has to meet his wife, or get gas, or whatever.
if it's a "super bee" it's an SRT-8 and is capable of stomping stock G8 GTs and mustang GTs. SRT-8s are low 13 sec cars.Quote:

Maybe it was a v6 all badged up to look r/t but it didn't sound like a v6.
