Camaro RS vs Challenger R/T
Edmunds has a fat Challenger R/T hitting 60 in 5.9 and the quarter at 14.1......hmmmm,quite lame for a 375HP car. I'm thinking this will have its hands full with a RS or a Genesis V6 coupe. The Challenger SE doesn't even come into the conversation,guys in Aveos will be picking on those things.

yea it is funny too when they tested the 08s they got 4.8 for the srt8s. Guess the crappy automatic is faster than the average driver. I am guessing the best numbers for the rt will be 5.4-5.5(5.1-5.3 w/ a tune and some bolt-ons.). They have got to find some better drivers at edmunds lol.
also I think they were quoting dodge numbers I don't think that they have tested the 09s yet. |

Another thing that has to be taken into consideration, the R/T Has Close to 400 ft/lbs of tq. A v6 camaro might be able to give it a run, if they were going from a roll, but from a dig, that tq would KILL us.

well I am not sure. How much does the rt weigh? It will probaly be competative with the v6 but win of course. I mean this car probaly costs as much as the ss. Why is it being compared to the v6?

On the weight question I found the R/T to come in at 3947, a little over thirty pounds more then the Camaro at 3913

Ouch, almost 4000 lbs.? Eek! Well, if the SRT is another 100 lbs. or so, that almost makes sense. Hey, that car was pretty big back in the day, so it's not much of a suprise.

Sorry my bad, I checked Dodge's site again and see they've changed the weights on the Challengers. The R/T comes in at 4041 and the SRT comes in at 4140. Wonder why the weight change on the R/T? That's now a 128 pound diff between the Camaro an the Challenger.
