Have not gotten the Challenger R/T to the track yet, my local track doesn't open up again until April. But a little playing around has gotten me a 5.29 zero to 60 time on the in-dash timer on the streets. And it will be on the factory all seasons when I do get to the track. Eventually, I'll put a stickier tire on it but it will still be a street radial.
In my 06 Mustang GT with 5 speed manual trans, I got to a best of 13.67 at 103 while it was still bone stock, tires and all. With CAI, tune and underdrive pullies I was able to knock it down to 13.26 at 109, again still on the factory stock tires (and that was with a pittiful 2.06 second 60 foot time!).
So, with the Challenger, I want to do about the same thing. See what I can do bone stock, then make a few mods (CAI and tune) and see how much better it can get. I'm hoping it surprizes me on the track.

Albeeno if you run across me in my Challenger you will still be waiting to smoke one. I don't think you will smoke a Challenger in your 06 if its stock. Mustang guys need to remember that loud does not mean fast or quick. Again I will post the first Mustang that smokes me as of now that is not a problem. I think you are biased to Ford and you show it everytime you talk out of the left side of your mouth. You give the Challenger an off compliment and then praise the Mustang as the better car continually. Bi-polar so to say. So until you get your butt handed to you by a stock R/T that can be driven, keep it low and wait until you have the chance to compare side by side.
