The July 2008 Motor Trend tested an '08 GT500 coupe at 4.3 seconds to 60 mph and 12.6 seconds at 114.2 mph in the quarter mile. (Also tested an '08 Challenger SRT8 at 4.7 to 60 and 13.1 at 108.3 in the quarter.) The infamous Evan Smith previously tested a stock GT500 coupe for the August 2006 MM&FF and ran 12.257 at 117.18 mph despite a 2.11 second 60-foot time. He backed it up with a 12.37 at 116.52 mph. Better drag tires for a faster 60-foot time would put a GT500 into the 11s with Evan Smith at the wheel.
