Motor Trend video on 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392

This car looks very very nice I like the color schemes and the interiors on both the blue and white models the car still is too heavy to perform with the Camaro or Mustang.

13.0 is a far cry from 12.4

Motor Trend got anywhere from 12.9-13.1 for the manual SS, so it is right there on what is probably not a good run..... Also, Motor trends car was a manual and the 12.4 was with an automatic, widely known as the quickest transmission for the 1/4 mile in a Challenger.

6/10 is more than a trans or driver when talking magazine #'s. The SS was tested around 13.0 in MT and runs around 12.8-12.7 with a good driver. I'm not buying the 12.4 just yet.

Hasn't the SS hit 12.5 stock? And MT did get a 13.1, and yes, the autos in the Challenger can run as much as 5.10ths slowe rthan the autos.....

the 12.5 run was a negative DA. so it counts but was corrected wrong.

I believe the 12.5 run was NOT negative DA, I think it was around 700+ but I could be wrong.
