Love my 09 Challenger R/T 6 speed with 3.92 gear .
ORIGINAL: 10secDodge
Guys...I am glad to see they at least realize there is some potential with the new Challengers. It's a shame Dodge was not able to shave 500 pounds off them...that would make a world of difference. I will try to get some vid's the next time out.
As far as the Mustang forum guys are concerned, I look at them just like us. They are car enthusiest that want to outrun the competition...just as we want to outrun them. It's all in good fun and there was never any hard feeling!! I am just happy that at least some of the skeptic's realize I was being completely honest.
Now.....the upgrades will begin!! My Diablo Predator was shipped yesterday.......I am hoping for some high 12's with a 93 tune and no other changes. We will see.
I've had many fast car's in my life . Including a very modified 340 R/T new in 71 . And a 8 second flat 1/8th mile 71 Buick GS 455 in NHRA pure stock diven on the street . Had to have one of the new Challenger R/T . The sound is great and much better ride than the 71 R/T . Feel's like a big Block 440 with a stick to me . I did give it a little run with a long time drag racing friend with me the other Day . ESP off . side stepped at 2000 rpm shifted about 5400 rpm . It leaped and turned the tire's over through 4th and I let off of it. It's in the mid 13 range for sure. But I don't plan to race it . Just enjoy it as I near my 60 birthday in Jan.
