RE: Head-to-Head Comparison: 2008 Shelby GT500 Mustang vs. 2008 Challenger SRT8
Mopar Performance is working on several upgrades for the car as this is written. It's looking like sometime in the Fall we should see them. There will be some bolt ons, don't worry about that :-) For a naturally aspirated car and at 4100+ pds, the LC/LX cars run very well. A manual trans SRT-8 Challenger with bolt ons like I described for that Charger would get you knocking on the doorstep of the 11 sec zone. I did forget to mention the Charger was wearing some stickier skins but not sure if they were Drag Radials or slicks. Thanks for the comment on the Terminator. It really is a fun car and there weren't too many of them made in the 2 years they were out. I kept my window sticker and brochures, etc. I will do the same with my Challenger when I pick it up. I am planning to go to to the dealer in my '71 when I take delivery. Want to get some pics and take my boy. He came with me when I picked up the Cobra and I took some pics of him with the car. He was 5 then and it's already been 5 years. I just hope he grows up and likes these cars so when I get old he can take them, lol.
