Yes. I've driven several of these older 5.7L cars. They're torquey and sound great but not really performance car material by 2016 standards. It's a ~4100lb car with ~340hp at the crank.

Your Ecoboost would likely be quicker even without the tune.

Keep us posted!

You'll be faster with your mods for sure. Stock you'd lose!

The 08 R/T's were the pre-VVT 5.7's..they're not super great. Fantastic highway motors, good torque..but not really a performance mill anywhere near stock configuration.

An EBM will decimate it, not even close. 09+ 5.7's will put up more of a fight, but a bolt-on tuned EBM will still handily beat it.

Stock EBM pulls a 13.9 1/4 mile, any tune and your at 13.1.
5.7L Hemi? = aint scured.

I raced a guy at work with a 13 charger rt. It was funny to say the least. Eco with tune too easy.

Let us know when it happens-at the track of course.

What gearing? The standard Charger R/T has 2.73's out back, the R/T "Road and Track" has 3.06's.

It still won't be hard, but a stock or reasonably close to stock a 2012 Charger R/T will pull mid 13's on stock tires..WITH the 3.06 gears.

Sorry but I'm gonna say the Charger has the advantage if both of you are equal drivers.
