Default What would it take?

What kind of mods would it take to beat one of the new Challenger SRT-8's?

shouldn't take much, they're quite the porkers. MT got a 13.1s 1/4 mile and there have been guys here that have gotten that with a CAI/Tune... you gotta have a good driver mod, though.

cai/tune should be all it takes......as stated....the extra HP is negated by the huge LBs that are added over the mustang

just keep in mind that most people run about 13.5 with cai/tune. not everyone can get high 12's low 13's with just the cai/tune. so you might wanna add a couple of other things, just to make sure you beat it. i would add gears.

true...a roll race would probably take gears, CAI, tune, and some stickier tires, maybe a set of LCA's...but keep in mind that the haus of an engine 6.1 Hemi would probably overpower us in the topend so try to keep it a short race, maybe to 100mph or so

It takes all the above plus a 75hp dose of medicine to out run the one in my driveway.
