That's another thing I'll say about the new Chargers, the gearbox in them in phenominal. I remember reading it was a Mercedes transmission, and it really shows. Smooth shifting, even when you punch it hard.

I understand that those cars run a very tall gear in the rearend to give it the MPG it needs.

Strange things can happen in a race. I lost to an 04 Cobra by only a car length in the quarter mile at the track. I smoked him off the line and he had a heck of a time chasing me down.
