yea the 1/4 was 13.3 at 108 for the challenger
Thats fast. Throw some drags tires on that and maybe intake and tune. It will see the 12's.

it could be in the gearing of the automatics too...i know that vipers dont have quite the performance of a new c6 ZO6 but i have talked to a few viper owners who have swapped out their stock gears for a smaller gear ratio and can now beat zo6's...just a thought
well hear are the gears compared to the mustangs, the challenger's is first then the mustangs is second.

1st - 3.58 3.38
2nd - 2.19 2.00
3rd - 1.41 1.32
4th - 1.00 1.00
5th - 0.83 0.68

the challenger is said to have 3.06 and the mustangs is 3.73...so yea that might be it, but still look that over and tell me what you think?

its fast, but like i said early the mustang's is only .2 seconds slower and 110 hp less...so is it really THAT fast? for what it is anyways should be faster

Gearing is probly the big thing there... Honestly, a 6 speed, some 3.73's, suspension work and a CAI+Tune... the challenger is going to be ridiculously mean......

The main issue with the challenger is price/performance.

I was saying that because I figure they're probably going to instead of a 5-speed...
