0-60 in 5.5 seconds and 13.9 @ 103.2 mph in Challenger R/T


What does this tell me? With the same people doing the testing of all three cars, I think that tells a pretty good story as far as the camaro's performance compared to the other two.

Plus.. the camaro is trapping 111 MPH!!!!! C'mon people, anyone who know's anything about drag racing knows with a great launch on an actual track (not like in all the tests we've seen on summer tires in 38* weather!) this is a mid to high 12 second car off the showroom floor!

Now if real people out in the world are pulling low 13's in a stock challenger R/T, and during these tests they only were able to get a 13.9... doesn't that say something along the lines that the SS should be able to do better than what it has done in these tests?

I just simply can't get over the trap speed of the camaro.. THAT is what tells you the most about this car.

Agree 100%.......that trap speed is VERY promising
