the beetle wasnt a muscle car! so u cant even put it in the same league. u should have said, maybe the t-bird! w/e . my statement holds true and i dont have to base it on anything! if the 05 and up mustangs had failed, chrysler would never even have made the challenger . ur deluted. your second statement ur right," so what?" remember i have one thing u dont !!!! i have both!!! see the sig? i dont bash my cars . i love them for what they are. u need to read the whole thread to get a better understanding for what i said in my post. stock for stock the r/t and gt are in the same league and perhaps even the srt8 is with them as well. the gt500 stock for stock would eat up this srt8. these challengers are heavy, 4 to 500 pounds heavier than the gts. u need alot of hp to compensate for this weight. this car even with a twinscrew, roots, centri, or turbo can only safely run with 6 lbs of boost on the stock internals because of the 10.4 to 1 compression. the gt500 can easily surpass 700rwhp with its stock internals. this car cant compete without major rebuilding.
my gt with a safe tune can run 12lbs of boost, a ticking time bomb( maybe) , but it will put over 500hp to the wheels. and with 4 lbs at 400rwhp it is faster than the srt8. nuff said! lol vynle
