RE: Drove an auto black R/T today! Dissappointed at lack of power.
Ok, for the record, I will be ordering a 2009 SRT8 Challenger 6-speed by the end of the month. I first thought I wanted the RT, but now that there are a few out and people have driven them and complained about the lack of power, I will be ordering the SRT8. Dollar for Dollar, it is the best bang for the buck. Just look at some of the car magazines and you will see the 1/4 mile times these cars are laying down. The problem with the Challenger is the weight vs HP, I am some what disappointed with the 1/4mile times, but I'm not buying it to be the fasted car on the block. I love the old school look of the Challenger and I don't really care for the look of the new Camaro. The Challenger will be my DD, I have a really nice 03 Kenne Bell Mach-1 putting out 600rwhp plus on a 91 octane tune, weighing in at 3500lbs with me in it and a 1/2 tank of gas. But once again, let me reiterate, I love the new Challenger and I am getting the SRT8 version, unfortunately, the Challenger will have to be parked in the driveway, the Mach and my wife's car will get garage duty. Is there any factual evidence that the 6.4, (392) hemi will be offered for the 2010 Challenger SRT8? That will be badas$.
