They are not clear if the times are for the auto or the stick.

 

no big. I actually was seriously thining about the Camaro until I went to the Chicago Auto Show back about 2 years ago when they unveiled the Camaro and the Challenger. Seeing them almost side by side was a no brainer in making my decision to go with the SRT8. I do keep tabs though hoping that may be they will change it some as it is butt ugly in my opinion however my oldest son really wants one and so far no amount of talking has changed his mind. I think one he rides in the Challenger it might sway his mind.

 

I am satisfied with the R/T performance numbers. What's more satisfying is the MPG numbers for a muscle car.

IMO, the interior of the new Camaro is weird. I think the straightforward layout of the new Challenger is far more pleasing to the eye.

 

what does the GT mustang run in the 1/4 mile 14.2?

 

I would think that the R T would do a little closer to 5 sec.
Doesnt the GT do the 0-60 in about 5.1 or 5.2??? I was thinking or hoping at least the R T would get there in 5.3.
I remember that we were discussing this before on a thread and someone did the math about how the R T had more horsepower to weight than the GT so to me this is more of a dissapointment. Although 5.5 isnt bad im just kinda hoping this is more of a Ballpark number like they did with the SRT when we heard the 4.9 #

 

Motor Trend has their charger r/t at 5.5 for the 340 hp engine and the charger weighs more than the challys 375 hp car i think. Common sense told me 5.2 or 5.3 for the Chally r/t. I dont think the final number is in.

 

YEP ME EITHER. and the GT runs 13.5-13.8 and 5.1-5.3 stock.

 

I totally agree. If the vehicle does 350HP or more and gives me 17 MPG or better I am a totally happy speed monster.

I too think the interior of the Camaro is weird looking. The Challenger is the way to go.

 

that stinks since the R/T will be compared to the GT looks like it beats us they gotta trim some punds off this car

 

Sad to say, but it looks like the GT will win evertime against a R/T.. stock vs stock, straight line racing. And it looks like the GT will be getting a 5.0 400hp engine in 2010 or 2011.
