Challenger goes 0-60 in...
 

3.9 seconds!... maybe.

Car and Driver has shown two different covers for their April issue, and on the second cover (scroll down) it says something about a 0-60 time for a 'Hemi Powered Street Rod' which may or may not be referencing the Challenger... but it certainly looks like it doesn't it?

Check it out and lemme know whatcha think!

I think its for some custom Hemi car, not the Challenger. There's no way a car that heavy can do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. You're talking ultra exotic car 0-60 numbers there.

I dont think so....the "hemi street rod" being in yellow make me believe that they are speaking fo another vehicle. plus can 425hp in a nearly 4k lb car go 3.9?

IT BETTER NOT!

It's clearly a 'Hemi powered street rod' and not the Challenger :D

I'm putting my money on some other car. But Car and Driver normally doesn't do tests of custom cars though does it? I'm not too familiar with them so I could be wrong

They're not talking about the Challenger. Because they've already got a title allocated to it:
"FIRST DRIVE: 425hp Dodge Challenger SRT8."
Then it talks about a street-rod.

I like the second cover better, though. The G8 looks bigger. ;) ;) :D

It could've been a typo and meant 3.9 minutes:bellyroll:

So when do you think Pontiac will put real pictures and real "Build Your Car" sections for the G8 on its website instead of the little microsite that's there now?
