How many seconds to 60 for the SRT and RT...anyone know, or any guesses?

RE: 0-60
 

I hope it is around 5 seconds with a 6.1L and hopefully faster with a 6.4L but since I am getting a manual.....it will depend on how I feal and the phase of the moon. LOL!

Nothing like being in control of your own destiny! :D I'm hoping the manual RT with the new 380 hp hemi will do at least 5.5 seconds.

SRT8 is supposed to be about 4.5 seconds... [sm=yikesomg.gif]

0-60 in the SRT8 6.1L 425HP HEMI Charger is supposed to be 4.9 - 5.0 seconds.
0-60 in the R/T 5.7L 340HP HEMI Charger is supposed to be 5.6 seconds.
Both of these cars are using the 5-speed autostick, and the Challenger (in theory) should be a bit lighter.........

I'd expect the SRT8 6.1L 425HP HEMI Challenger to go 0-60 in a solid 4.8 seconds with the 6 speed,
and the 380HP 5.7LVCT HEMI Challenger to cover 0-60 somewhere around 5.2 - 5.3 with a 6 speed TREMEC (and a good driver).

Awesome... hope I'm trailing in an RT in the 5s!

Yep, that is what they calculated the concept car could do back 2 years ago.

At 4,100 # estimated weight no less.... :D

RE: 0-60
 

I test drove an SRT8 Charger and that thing seemed to just wanna get up and Go... It was nice...

RE: 0-60
 

The April Car and Driver (and probably other mags) will have a road test of the 2008 SRT. I suspect the performance numbers should be very close to those of a Charger SRT. Since it will be the same 6.1 engine, a lot will depend on the Challenger's weight.

Be sure to buy a copy! ;)
