just some basic questions
Hey guys
Just curious i'm trying to make my mind up early so i don't have to deal with last min decisions..
On the challenger:
1.)whats going to be the weight of the srt8
2.)Whats going to be the Hp and Torque : and if what is going to be the Rwhp
just trying to decide on to get a 09 Srt8 challenger 6speed manuel
or
get a 03/04 Mustang Cobra "Terminator"
and of course on both of them put a cold air intake and catback exhaust

RE: just some basic questions
I will give it my best shot, but the more experienced guys on this forum might have better information than what I have found.
1. It will be RWD
2. Weight of concept car is 4,160 pounds. Not sure what the production weight of the car will be.
3. Horse power is 425 (SRT8)
4. 420 lb torque (SRT8)

wow 4,160lbs pretty heavy car....
but yet again its the concept the production might be lighter *hoping*
be nice if they weighed around like 3700-4000lbscause that weight is going to kill it...
even though it still gets 0-60 in 4.5s and 1/4 in 13s...

The concept was carbon fiber, the production will be metal and because of it could be heavier, unless putting it on an LC platform makes it lighter.

I for one don't know. In the old days automatics were always slower than a standard tranny but in recent history some automatics beat the standards. With this high output engine, the computer controlled automatic might just give you a better time but just a guess on my part.

RE: just some basic questions
Don't make up your mind by weight alone. The Challenger of the 70s was the heaviest of the pony cars and one of the quickest. Dodge puts alot of punch in their cars. I have a 340 in my 71 Challenger and it is quite potent. A 440 or 383 in this car is even more torquier. And for those few with a Hemi... well I don't need to say anymore on the Hemi. It's history speaks for itself. I think that the way the car looks is your buying point, so make the choice on that. You can make a pig run with a pony and Dodge has no problem there. You will be seen in these cars cruising more than you will racing. Take it to your local 1/4 and you won't be dissapointed Take it out on a drive and you won't be ignored I get the thumbs up where ever I go and everyone has a story to tell you when they come up and talk to you. Don't buy the new Challenger if you don't want the attention and also a mans got to know his limitations and the power the SRTs will put down is not for everyone. Good luck on your choice and have a blast in whatever you choose.

Also, let's not magazine-race the car before it even appears on the dealer lot. The car is a lot more than 0-60, 1/4 mi. time and HP/lb.ft. figures. Most people won't be able to even come close to magazine times anyway. It's understandable to want to be able to say "my car does this and that in X time", but take a more holistic view: is the price right, am I pleased with the handling, can I live with this car on an everyday basis, do I like the interior and exterior, etc., because there will always be someone with some shit faster than yours, unless you own a Strike Eagle or something.
