Default S197 vs. Charger R/T

Now I dont know how fast exactly those charger R/T's are (Daytona or whatever) but I was definetly able to hang with one then eventually start pulling from beginning of third and I kept going. I was shocked... I guess I over estimated those chargers... Anyone else know first hand about the R/T's? I know the SRT-8's are fast, but I think we got em with bolt ons... (correct if I am completely wrong)

Stock mostr/t's are low 14 sec cars, SRT-8's are low 13 second cars. So stock for stock it's a drivers race auto r/tvs auto gt. Good Kill! 350HP is 350HP no matter what way you put it

I encountered one with a tune and a CAI on my 05 GT. He had exhaust work, but despite this, I didn't have any problems with him. Being in the 12s, I'm surprised it took until third gear to walk him.

As already said, they're low 14 sec cars. They're too heavy to do much w/ that power...

Ran one from like a 65-110 roll(anyone with a 2V knows high speed rolls are our strong point[&:]). He got the jump and we pretty much stayed even with each other. Not bad for a 4 door Sedan I think.

Off the bottle right? And I always wanted to ask you, how many 100/XXX shots have you ran through your stock motor?

It took me until 3rd to walk a RT charger, because I spun all of 2nd. It's bad when you are making smoke and still staying with the car beside you. My 3rd starts at 60.

at the strip there were 4 SRT8 LX cars tuning their cars as they did runs and started with Mopar CAI's on a stock tune

a 300, and two chargers.... almost all of them were pulling 13.6-13.8 @ 104-105MPH untill they broke into the tuning

after the tuning and tweaking the cars picked up ALOT, the 300 ran a best of 13.1 @ 106MPH and the chargers ran around 13.3-13.4 @ 107MPH

IMO a charger R/T is nothing but a low-mid 14 second car off the lot... just from what I see, sure some an break 13's, but I havn't seen any
