Probably about even. You may pull a little. He still has massive amounts more tq than you down low.

[MENTION=10281]BmacIL[/MENTION] was at the drag strip this Wednesday and ran against a coworker and his Scat Pack. In terms of power adders, Bmac has only a Livernois tune and he pulled on him two or so car lengths. I believe the scat was stock.

Yup!

OP, if he knows what he's doing you'll be close, though the charger will be easier to beat than the challenger on weight, but will not botch any shifts since it's auto only. Do you have the lockout kit or anything else for wheel hop?

If the dodge is automatic. It'll win. If your both manuals. Drivers race.

All these races come down to a drivers race because most people can't drive and just spin the rear tires off these things. That said...

I think you are giving the Charger too much love. Its a 4400lbs car with 485 fwhp stock.

The Mustang is listed at 3600lbs, and with bolt ons should easily be in the 460-470 fwhp range.

Granted the Charger has more torque(wheel spin), but its going to take more than 20 or so ho to make up for 800lbs!

The only thing about that is that it develops a lot more torque in the low end to mid range for the launch. That's one reason why the Scat packs can run our cars so close, despite the power to weight figures.

The Mustang is over 3,700lbs. With an average male driver it's about 3,900lbs with a full tank.

FWHP means crap, it's what goes to the ground. The fact is the Charger is easily putting out 400 WTQ by 3,300 RPM and holds over 400 WTQ all the way up through 5,000 RPM.

If by "6spd" you mean manual, you will at least need a tire to put up a fight.
I ran a beautiful stockish automatic 392 and he hit a 1.8 60 on all season tires.

So the Dodge going to drive itself with an empty tank? :lol:

I just traded my 15GT PP for a charger scatpack. I have 2 kids now. I will say at stock the charger is faster in zero to sixty and 1/4. The charger numbers are closer to the camaro. You may have a chance on a roll race but from a dig. You will need some work done to the mustang for all the wheel hop. I do miss my mustang!
