Default RE: YOUR THOUGHTS ON NITROUS?

Nitrous, no. Heard too much bad stuff, plus one day my wife was looking over my shoulder as a Cobra blew off it's intake on some internet video site.

Supercharger, turbo. Right now on my 2005 GTO a maggie supercharger is around 6K. I'm not spending that kind of money to knock off a second. I am not up on MOPAR products enough to know how much a supercharger/turbo cost for the 6.1 SRT engines, but I imagine it is pretty expensive.

Looking at the new Challenger, it will probably run high-mid 12's from the factory. I am figuring this as the 6.1 SRT 300 turns a 13.2 or so, and I figure the new Challenger will weigh about 500 pounds less. 500 pounds less= .5 faster in the quarter. Now add some DR's, a tune, maybe a new stall and you are in the high 11's. That is plenty fast enough for me. If I can get a straight up kill on a Z06, it's a good day.
