they should be a tad faster than a stock S197 this year. They are all automatics with tall gears now right? Next year when they get the 6-speed manual and get some 4.10's on that bad boy, it should be good for mid-12's easy
The 2009's are out and they have 6 speed TR6060 trans with 3.92 gears with 375hp/404 tq as I have already said
no need to get hasty...i know what you already said.

i was speaking of the SRT. sorry for the miscommunication. The SRT'sare the ones that are only automatics with tall gears right now, correct. either way, i think that the R/T will still edge out the S197 when driven right

What are those? R/Ts? That is just pathetic... But, looking @ the 6 speed's time looks like he dorked the 60 foot pretty good, 2mph difference in trap, but almost a full second off in ET?
As I understand it they are both SRT8s

No the 2009 SRT8 Challenger will also come with a 6 speed manual and 3.92 gears.

all that is out right now is he srt model. 6.1L, 3.08 rear diff, auto trans. they are still working on delivering the 08 models.

the rt model will come out later with the SE...i dont believe that i have seen any numbers as for as quarter mile times for the manual transmission models.

the normal times for the current challengers seems to be 13.1 to 13.2...but keep in mind, these cars have only been getting to the owners for the last few months, so most of them havent had much practice. like is true with the charger 6.1 models, 12s should be possible in stock form.

I think the Stang will have a good shoot at the R/T judging by how the present modelR/Ts perform. They usally run in the 14.0 to 14.5 range now. How much of a gain is 35HP and a 40 pound weight reduction worth? .2 to .3 tenths?

They also have open diffs too.

I've seen a few R/T's and V6's driving around Detroit.

Yeah pretty close I guess... You can build an 09 on the Dodge website, but I don't think you can actually get one quite yet...

here is a pic from Pinks all out @ E-town

Orange Auto - Silver 6 speed - Pritchet Brothers at the wheels


Howdid they get a 6-speed manual when production on the 09 has not even started yet? Factory starts building the 09's end of August.
