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! I'm hoping the manual RT with the new 380 hp hemi will do at least 5.5 seconds.

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).

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

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!
