I'd have to see that to believe it.

I can kinda believe that. I've seen the R/T Challengers go mid to high 13s bone stock on stock tires. They take off like crazy but seem to fall on their face in the top end. So with tuning and mods I think they should be able to go low 13s or better.

 

[bluebeastsrt]

I've seen them go mid 13s also. But they were doing it on a drag radial in the fall. Not in the weather conditions decribed above. If you believe the above statement. That RT would be a 12.9 Car in good DA like we have right now, in this area on stock tires. Not happening!:tsk:

The A8 makes them faster

a 15 or 16, 5.7 A8 powered car can easily run low 13's on drag radials (stock tune)

I sometimes wonder if you guys know anything about drag racing other that what you read on forums. There isn't a stock tire RT on earth running mid 13s when the DA is +2500 like claimed above.

The night I saw a stock R/T Chally run a 13.8 was June 25th 2014 at 7:33pm at Old Bridge Raceway in NJ. The DA at the track on that day at that time was 1880. Track elevation was 178 ft, air temp was 78.8 degrees F, barometric pressure was 29.86 inches HG, and the relative humidity was 74%. I have a video of it (I was in my Camaro SS that night). So if the guy you were replying to was in Philly when he saw the Chally run (where he is from based on what is listed under his S/N), well they aren't too far off from us. So I can see a bolt on Chally with a good drive run a time like that. I'm not sure where a +2500 DA comes in to play or where it was mentioned. But out here it is possible.

Wow this turned into a pissing contest real fast. Why cant we all get along?

Topic was Challenger vs EB.

 

[4V Mayhem]

Lol, I have no desire to have a pissing match with anyone. I'm just stating that the RT Chally is a mid 13 sec car. It will beat an EB Stang stock to stock with equal drivers. With mods the EB can have a good chance. But with cat deletes, a tune, and a cai the Chally will be low 13s. If that's a hard pill to swallow then I don't know what to say...take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Seceda91]

Um, I just clearly said that I go mainly to watch and hang out with friends. And I also just clearly said I didn't buy my GT to beat on it at the track. Lol, so what exactly are you trying to prove? Haha! Yea I report what I saw which was a RT Challenger running a 13.8 bone stock. And I have a video of it. So what are you arguing with me about?

Bluesrt is a license hardcore racer, so I never question his validity. But at the same time, I don't think you were also...

IMO, the Challenger RT stock is faster than the EB stock. But... with both cars tuned w/ bolt ons.. I'll have to say the EB is faster with equal drivers, tranny for tranny. Turbo cars respond better to mods than NA.

13.8 is about right since most have tested around mid 13's to high 13's. The EB is usually a 14 sec car.. Just like my G35 hehe!

 

[4V Mayhem]

OP if you're gonna race a stock R/T Chally, you'll need mods to beat him. If he has bolt-ons tho then he'll have the advantage. Despite what some people would have you believe, they ARE quick once modded. Those engines are nothing to scoff at. Even the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Durango with the 5.7 Hemi are in the low to mid 14s stock. They're getting into the high 13s with boltons. So don't underestimate them.

I personally ran 13.26 [MENTION=17112]10[/MENTION]5 in 1,950 foot DA back in 2010 with just a CAI, no tune.

For some reason, and I don't know why, the 2009 and 2010 cars are noticeably faster than successive years.

IIRC, 2011 model year had some changes, including suspension "improvements" to address handling issues. It's not hard to imagine that these same changes might have cost the Challenger a bit of weight transfer at the launch.

Also, it's possible that the 2009/2010 guys have just had their cars longer so they're better at driving them.

I hate to say it guys but regardless of what's faster in the 1/4 mile, very few people would pick the EB over a Challenger R/T for which car they'd like to own. While EB is a wonderful machine (though I've yet to drive one), the panache of a V8 is pretty hard to beat, even if it's not the fastest thing on the road.

You might as well have...

In regards to EVERYONE quoted above, i said charger not challenger.

Also id prefer the eb over a challener rt anyway i dont like the body style and i love the mustangs.

They are basically the same cars. The shape of the body is different. Weights similar (Charger slightly heavier). They have the similar trim lines.

Available for Charger and Challenger:
