Default RE: Ridiculous 0-60 time

2008 Challenger would be an SRT, right? Or is it a 2009 R/T?

In an SRT, maybe, but at 16, with (I can only assume) little driving experience, it seems unrealistic to get such a good 0 to 60 time. But maybe...

Then agan, you also say it was at a track...If the track was sprayed with a lot of VHT, that could make it more likely as traction (more specifically - lack of traction) is what kills the launch in these cars with big (370 to 425 stock, depending on what car this really is).

Also, if this is a 2008 SRT, are there any mods to it? bhud43 does not say the car is stock.

And some other things are questionable. bhud43 said his friend held the wheel while he took the picture and that the car was still moving. This leads us to think the picture was taken shortly after the time was recorded.

Later he says his mom was in the car at the time and it was at a track. Was the picture taken seperate from the 0-60 run? If it was a drag strip (does not say, only "track"), I don't know of any tracks that allows 2 passengers. And if it was a drag strip, how about just posting a timeslip for the full run?

I'm not saying 4.32 is not possible, just there are a lot of holes in the story so far.

ORIGINAL: bhud43

I just got the 2008 dodge challenger for my 16th birthday, and it is remarkable. I do however have a concern. While i was testing out the 0-60 computer timer, it registered as a 4.32. I am just wondering if you think there is something wrong with this, or if its actually possible. The picture is blurry, because of the low light. Yes, the car is still moving. i took the picture because i was incredibly excited, while my friend controlled the wheel.
