How are you mopar2ya?

While on the 0-60 screen, if you press the Function Select button it will display your best time. Be careful, if you hold down the Function Select button for 5 seconds it will clear your best time.

This is on page 168 of the 2008 owners manual.

You read the manual..?? No need really... just have to ask on the forum...

Thanks RT!! Got it!

mopar2ya,

Don't you have two Challengers? Black and Orange? I assume this is from the Black one? So you know the Orange one would come in at 4.5. Because we all know Orange is the fastest, right Andre!

Take care!

The car wasn't built for Drag Racing, you need to change a lot of parts!

Did my second WOT from a stop just now and did better then my last 0-60 but still noticed a ton of wheelspin for the first few seconds ... is there a better strategy on launching the SRT ? Like maybe a little tap tap then smash ? i'm not complaining about this huge car running a 5.32 but I would like to get it down to below 5's if possible thanks guys.

This is a computor guys, it has a memory. They can find out exactly what you've done if they want to take it that far. I would be careful if you want to make sure your warranty is worth anything. JMHO

rudy call the predator guys up....im pretty sure there is a simple way of uploading your tune and then uploading your stock figures before you take in in for any warranty work....i would call them up if i were you.

I uploaded the original tune when I had to bring my car in for the broken halfshaft. They never said anything about it. My tuner is also in the glove box.

Roadrunner,

Your warranty is going to either expire due to mileage or to months. Either way if you keep the miles down and baby it, your going to run out of time and your not going to be able to test durability. How would you know if you have a faulty part and were afraid to test it, then warranty is out due to months. Either way its a gamble. If your 50 yrs of age or older your not going to be around to enjoy any benefits in 30 years. I say drive it, enjoy it you could wake up dead in the morning then your wifes new boyfriend or husband is going to driving your car.

Enjoy it, it is an awesome car. I drive my car once a week and love every minute of it.

70sguy, point taken. Just sayin for the younger guys (like you and I) and people with an extended warranty, it may not be the way to go. Just trying to let everyone know that
the possibility exists that it "may" void your warranty if the dealer digs deep enough into your computor.

i'm 21 so I guess i'm a younger owner , but I don't think the SRT Challenger was made to baby for 36k miles I agree with 70s guy.

PS : Thanks a lot guys yesterday at about 70 degrees I hit a 5.23 which is fast for having a bunch of school crap in the trunk and I have sunroof + kicker all options so i'm thinking all that weight is holding me from below 5's and you should see the looks on peoples face when I take off WOT from a light lol.
