My original statement was low to mid 13 second car! A good driver will put an LS3 Camaro in the 12.6-12.8 range consistantly. Same for the 5.0 Mustang. Both will have a 2-3 MPH trap advantage on a 6.1 SRT. I agree with your statement. All are bad ass. Some are just a little more bad ass than others right off the dealer lot.

I agree with that and the times you quote as well. i just wanted to clarify that it wasnt the engine that made it slower as opposed to the weight difference

here's a run not too long after i got my car it does have a cam swap in this vid but as per the numbers you quoted you will see the mph reflect the power increase. it has no cai or any other mods except a tune

as you can see i had a miserable 60' ( around 2.1-2.2) but it picked up on the big end. subtract 400-500 lbs and what would that run have been? better yet the stall shaved off close to a half second. Im simply saying that that engine imo was badass. it was just installed in a 4 door tank.

Saw a Challenger RT at the track this week running low 14's, stock SS's were running 13.50's.

It was like night and day the difference in power. Granted I am running a supercharger and throwing 625 hp to the wheels, but even in the looks category which would you choose ?? Just saying . . .

Looks I'd choose the SRT, hands down compared to a SS.

headers , tune intake was a good race for a 2012 srt8 . i would pull him slightly. the 6.1 is no where close to the 6.4 and the 5.7 is a dog all around.

lt1 camaro territory vs a 5.7

I don't remember any MAGS getting 13.5-13.6 from the LT1 like most did from the manual R/T and I don't remember any stock LT1s hitting 13.2s like some auto R/Ts have don't. Don't confuse car ability with driver ability........

On what planet are R/Ts running low 13s? They can barely even run a mid 13...

Motor Trend and other magazines aren't going to lie about their tests like some bozo on the interwebs that wants the youtube world to believe he's the worlds best driver. We can go back and forth all day with this. If you think any 6.1 is equal to a LS3 Camaro or 5.0 Mustang your delusional. That's why dodge came out with the 392! To compete with the rest of the competition. The 6.1 wasn't cutting it.

392's pull hard up top.

Buying an R/T is like buying a v6 mustang......total waste of money.

[MichiganSRT]

As an owner of a JGC SRT8 only car that has genuinely surprised me was a new 5.0 mustang, guy ran a low low 11 with few more tweaks he was in tens easy with bolt ons, no F/I. Just so you know though, the stock 392 aren't that great until they are tuned by someone who knows what they are doing, after that they are absolute monsters.

Look up SRT8Tech (I believe) on here, amazing what the driver mod can do........... Also many on www.challengertalk.com have done it (ie Dodgetony who did it 4-5 years ago, again, driver mod). I am sorry, if ANYONE thinks a stock V6 mustang or Camaro are a match for an R/T, they are just dreaming. Also you lose a few 10ths to a Camaro SS in the 1/4 mile, but the R/T also is around 3000 bucks cheaper MSRP to MSRP. Let's be realistic here, i am not saying 13.2 for R/Ts and 12.2 for SRTs is the norm, it is not, but it DOES happen. the same as 12s are not the norm for SSs (come on, if you are halfway realistic you KNOW this is true). In reality most LS3s at the track low 13s at best and L99s mid 13s and in a lot of cases worse.........

I'm not going to believe what any person on a forum say they can run especially when they claim to run half a second faster than other professional and respectable sources. Even on a glory hail Mary run in the dead of winter with a tail wind and all the planets aligned perfectly I would still put my money that a bone stock as factory R/T on OEM recommended tire pressure CANNOT run a 13.2. And I darn sure don't believe the SRT8 is getting a 12.2. Now maybe these guys have their own interpretation of the word "stock"...but I don't see those times happening not even for a second.

How is that 7/10s quicker? 13.2 is only around 3/10s quicker than what Motor trend and Car and Driver both got at 13.5 and those were manuals. ANYONE who knows about these cars knows the autos ARE quicker because the torque management in the manuals takes out a lot more power than what it does on the autos. So, you would believe a 12.6 from a stock SS that gets 13.0 in all the magazines, but not a 13.2 from a Challebnger that gets 13.5 in the magazines? R/Ts are NOT the dogs people here make them out to be. Maybe not the quickest one out there, but close enough giving it is 3k cheaper than it's competition and certainly quicker than the competitions V6s..... Sounds like some insecurity to me..........
