Default Who would win?

My buddy just got a Challenger SRT8, 2010 I think. I drive an 06 GT. Both stock except for I'm running different exhaust which puts out no performance. Who would win, from a stop, from a 25? 1/4 mile.

No, the question is why don't you race him already and stop bench racing on the internets.

I'd just like to know, so I'm not surprised. Both Auto too.

Well, I think with equal drivers he'd have the advantage. But you never know.
Try it and see and let us know how you do.
Good luck!

Yeah, I think you could take a Challenger R/T, but the SRT8 would be faster. The new 5.0 would be another story, though.

the only real way to test it is at the track.
road racing and roll racing really isn't that scientific. you could cheat real easy.

i think you'll have a better chance from a dig, being that you are lighter, once you are rolling all that hp in the challenger will kick in.

^ I agree.

You'd need a really good hole-shot to make it respectable. I think he'd win but he'd be embarassed to have not totally killed a 4.6L.

I think you'd lose. The SRT-8's are capable cars. If he were in an R/T, you'd most likely have him.

the challenger is a beautiful car. but man its a boat. if they kept the looks but made it lighter and refined it a bit i might actually look at one next time im in the market.
