Default RE: Dodge Challenger Track Tested ( by edmunds)

Good article. I keep seeing the quarter mile times listed as sub -14 or in this one 13.5. Somebody must be taking it easy then. These are numbers the 5.7 R/T should(will) run. I have already seen 2 SRT-8 Chargers run just under 13 sec at the local tracks. These were cars that had nothing done to them either and were automatics. Best was a 12.96@108. The Challenger is about 200lbs or so lighter. An automatic SRT-8 Challenger should be right there if not a little quicker. The manual trans version should be down around 12.60 - 12.70 @110 with a good driver and launch.
