RE: Challenger R/T slower than Charger R/T

I can see NO WAY that it would take to get to 3rd gear to get to 60 mph. If it does than we have a serious problem. I for one, will wait and see for myself.

I have a 06 Daytona and if this Challenger is not substantially faster than it with the 6 speed, I will be really disappointed.

Not a good way to start Monday off! I am moving past the glue and on to hairspray! lol

Dont believe them. They are saying the SRT8 takes 5.5 to get to 60, when we all know it can be done in as little as 4.7 secs.

Hey, that's my car except for the transmission. Since it is a six-speed, did it have the 3.92 gears?

Jalopnick and Edmunds are idiots... what more can you say...

I'm sure you guys weren't complaining much when they did that Bullitt vs. SRT8 comparison.

For the record I'd be shocked if the R/T couldn't match a Mustang GT stock for stock.
