take it easy son. it was a joke, don't cry, daddy is still getting the bright and shiny car that gets it's a$$ stomped by the gt500.
when did they run the 2? They last time I've seen the GT500 only ran a 12.8? IMO that sucks for a 500 hp blown car, hell my 300hp NA 2V would hand the GT500 it's azz.

Also I've seen about 20 GT500s on the road and ZERO Challengers.

BTW hurrican Katrine took his last challenger


he replaced it with a charger






I think he just felt like it was time for a challenger again and since they came out with a new one, that was it for him.

BS those GT500s are a joke for what they cost I think that the challenger would beat I have drove the snot out of one brand new 08 from the dealership and it wasnt what i thought it would be i was very dissappointed in it dont get me wrong it was fast but not $50,000 fast id rather have the challenger or a new camaro when it comes out.

motortrend ran them. the challenger lost by .4 i think. still though, any decent driver could make both of those cars run alot faster than the magazine times.

the thing that got me about that article is the gt500 outperformed the challenger in everything but braking(it lost by a foot), and they gave the nod to the challenger cause it was more comfortable. wtf? these are muscle cars, if you want comfort go buy a taurus.

I'm sure the motors are broken in before they leave the factory. I ran my car hard from day 1 and never had a problem. I ran nitrous for over 4 years and pulled the motor at 121k miles and it was running like a top, never burned oil and looked like new when it was opened up. Now my new motor, I did break it in, only because I was the 1st one to ever crank it up.

I like when people put music in their video's but just when its describing stuff(Mod lists) or Showing Pictures of the car (Every Angle of the car which ur going to take). Then Clip over to a Video, Mute the Sound and Let us hear the Car Roar During the Burnout. Play some more music and show us some Highway Runs
