How to beat a 475 HP Challenger?
Big Boss is taking delivery of a 15 Challenger with auto trans. My Boss has 11 or 12 Mustang GT with M/T stock. Thinking a show-down at Atco is inevitable. I'm thinking LTs+cats+ tune and drag tires on factory wheels AND PRACTICE! Draged raced motorcycles in the 80s never cars! Help! Big Boss is a "good ol boy" who likes to talk.I havn"t had any intrest in drag racing my Camaro until now only Road Course. I don't want to let down my fellow Camaro Brothers! HELP!

Gears help a lot too. Get a ptb and a scoop. I would be careful with the drag radials as I seen a 5th gen break a axle on drag radials this weekend

If he is stock, your biggest ally is TIRES! Traction wins races. He will likely spin. Unless yall are roll racing.

We're launching a 100% stock stick car on slicks and haven't broken an axle yet, it's how you get out the hole. But then again my buddy is a Pro with a stick car

Don't the Challengers have a launch control?

OP. my advise. it this corporate world cut throat business we all work in, LET BOTH BOSSES WIN. look at it this way, if they win, maybe you will get promoted eventually and you can buy a new ZL1!
on the other hand, if you win and they are both losers, you may end of in the unemployment line and have to trade your Camaro for a 86 Buick Century!! |

Chally is almost 400 pounds heavier, lower the tire pressure to 24 pounds and start practicing your launch...................should be able to cover the Chally. I went Chally hunting at first on Street Legal nights.............now they steer clear of Pumpkin.

As mentioned, gears, ported TB and tires. I did an UDP, its not much and I doubt you'll feel it in the seat, but it will add power. If that doesn't work, get a couple turbos!
