Ran into a charger R/T today on the highway(started around 75 mphwent to about 135 mph)and we lined up to race. First second I thought it would be really close, then I left him like his tranny was broke. what a great feeling, this was my first time to race a decent car and it was a blowout. It wasn't really fair,cuz he don't know about my little blower under the hood.

Guy was real nice, gave me the thumbs up after the race.

 

Whats the 425 horse all about?

 

not only do u make way more power, but you weigh far less, and have better gearing for accell. no contest.

 

I believe the new chargers have 425 horse, and this one appeared to be new and had a spoiler on it. Either way it was a good time(fair or not).

 

Those things are 425 hp? WTF? i raced a charger daytona and it wasnt even close... my car is stock, and i killed him by 4-5 car lenghts on the highway....

 

The 425 horse is the SRT, not the R/T. The R/T is only 345 horse... and a lot heavier than our cars.

A kill for sure... but not an unexpected one.

 

I think the SRT-8's have 425 hp. The R/T's are in the mid 300's but are big pigs.

 

I believe the Daytonas are 350 horse stock. Its the new chargers that are 425, but I may have just thought that it was the new model and been racing the 350 horse model.

either way

MUSTANGS RULE!!!

 

+1000 on Mustangs rule.

 

The R/T's are slow as dirt IMO, but he may have been in their little 4 cylinder economy mode that they go into on the highway. I don't know anything about how it engages or disengages, but I knowit uses this on the highway.
