RE: Head-to-Head Comparison: 2008 Shelby GT500 Mustang vs. 2008 Challenger SRT8
yea your definately paying for the shelby name which is sad to see. FINALLY someone who understands what these engines and cars can do, minor bolt ons can bring this car frim magazines stating less than 14 on the 1/4th and 0-60 in "under 5 sec" lol. this car is underated and is a beast. the six speed will blow everything out of the water. youre gonna see a big difference from the 5 speed mercedes transmission to the 6 speed manual. its funny because i have an 08 on order at msrp, despite what people find out if you work at it you can find a dealer with one for msrp. i also have the automatic which i will love since miami traffic is terrible and people here do not know what turn signals are but they do know what road rage is lol. one of the main reasons i wanted the challenger was because with mere bolt ons it can keep up with a stock shelby.. oh and the shelby is already supercharged and last time i checked you cant supercharge a supercharger. im not hating on the shelby, i love the car just too pricey. what people dont understand is that there hasnt really been much out aftermarket wise for the srt8s. i have been following some stuff up on the other forums and it looks like great timing for us who bought an 08. there are about 4-5 companys testing turbos and superchargers as we speak that should be out by mid summer, some with 3 year warrantys and everything. theres even testing going on to finish a supercharger setup for the 426 stroker kit for our hemis. the challenger couldnt have come at a better time.
btw.... terminators are sick.
