Thank you for the welcome. I hope in the very near future I can relate real world experience with my Challenger (really hate having to use the 'Stang to get some street excitement). Anyhoo, I can say that I did have about two cars on the Daytona from the line till about the first block, second block we were door to door and third block he was about three cars ahead. This was a long street through cornfields, not residential area so messing around with high speed (speed limit is 60 on this road) isnt much of an issue if things go wrong (except to the drivers of course). I know its silly but now and then flashbacks to younger days preclude good judgement. I can say though, when I pulled off the gas pedal the needle was passing 80 and that little V8 in the 'Stang was pulling hard. I doubt I could have caught the Daytona at all but if we ran a light to light or two lights it would have been a good run. From what I saw, the Dodge was a bit heavy on leaving the light but once the hemi came on line with rpm's he closed in a hurry. The "Stang is quick off the line but has no real low end pulling power to stay in it. That little V8 winds up quick but has no real guts to it at all. Dont get me worng, and I know I will hear from other owners, it is quick and in a quarter run it holds its own to a point but sheer horsepower and torque will beat the snot out of it.
