why would you shift a auto, yo cant possibly shift as fast as the computer. all jokes a side,im not going to keep trashing a fellow mustang guy but anytime you want to race paycheck for paycheck you can some run me in atlanta at the track (commerce) its win win situtation for youyou lose you onlylose your unemployement check, if you win my check will be able to pay for your house for the next 6months............lol

 

Is this an open invitation? [8D]

 

yes it is, now i have to warn you im working on putting a 351 stroker in my car with a kb but ill race you either way.

the above comment was sarcastic.
lol just a little fun no harm

 

Good point. A lot of times, people assume everyone is equal in driving skillz. I've seen some weird stuff myself. I saw an 05 GT and an 04 cobra (with only a cold air intake race). I thought the cobra was going to simply win by about 3 or 4 car lengths. The GT was on the cobra's rear tire! That was shocking. I'm trying to get the guys to race again.

 

Wow wasnt there an ff topic post where you guys are saying how slow the SRT8 chargers are. Now they are all of a sudden fast??? I dont get it.

 

there quick cars from a roll ,

 

Ok, screw it. I'm not one to choose sides.........but facts are facts, and they sometimes help shed light on a situation. Here's what the SRT-8s have:

Tip-auto gear selector
This automatic transmission gives shift control to the driver, not the transmission. It operates like a conventional automatic if the driver wishes, but includes a program that lets the driver shift manually without a clutch.

That addresses the SRT's tranny.
They have 3.06 gears, make 425hp @ 6000rpm/ 420lbs-ft torque @ 4800 rpms, have 10.30 to 1 compression, and weigh in at 4160 lbs.
I don't doubt this beast pulls like a *****.........but we are talkin about an extra 600 lbs of girth that the SRT has to haul over the GT. I know a stock SRT will beat a stock 05/06 GT plainly......but its not out of the question for a GT to hang with one in the 60 -85 mph range fairly well, could be a weak point in the Charger's powerband. I'm not saying that for sure, but it is possible. I know a stock GT can beat a stock Charger RT, cuz I've done it several times......but I probably wouldn't try running an SRT8 till I have some mods.

 

agree

 

cableguymicah, I don't know where you're getting your data but Motor Trend has gotten identical times in the 1/4 for these cars: 13.5. While the SRT-8 has a slightly higher trap speed, clearly these cars are roughly equivelant in acceleration, thus backing his story 100%.

 

Sweeet kill!! WTF is your boss doing racing a new motor though....poor poor motor
