Sounds like the R/T has a horrible driver, it should take apart a stock 2LT.

How much did your cost, I also love the challenger, Is the RT significantly cheaper then the SRT8?

R/Ts current starting price is 31610 including destination or more than the Mustang GT, but less than a 1SS.

Do the Automatics tend to be faster than the 6-Speed ones?

The Challenger is the other car that I have in consideration...It's not as fast as its competitors...but my God the Hemi sounds like the most beautiful thing ever. Plus the Challenger is hands down the best looking of the 3 current muscle cars.

They do tend to be faster and more consistent.

My Challenger was 31,585.

just as viper said...the autos are the ones turning the best times. the 6 speeds are a bitch to launch right.

Inside Line's review of the R/T was part of a 3 way test against the 2010 Stang and the Camaro SS.

They were able to turn a very respectable 1/4 mile time of 13.5 for the Stang and 13.0 for the SS, so they clearly have people who know how to drive. And they only got a 13.9 quarter with the R/T.

Their slalom testing showed the R/T to be 4mph slower than the SS's and the GT's (and about 1.5 mph slower than a v6 Camaro).

Just don't try and turn in a R/T!

link? the only one i've seen is the "first test" from inside line which only has the R/T and they are running it at what looks like an airport runway. do they run all 3 cars on the same day with the same driver?

and why does vipertomcat's posted timeslips always get ignored and forgotten?

people are running low-mid 13's in stock R/Ts. i like when people pick the slowest posted times and go with them.

I completely disagree with you. I think it'll be close for about two seconds.

Try driving an R/T you may be more than a little surprised at the go and turn it is capable of...... Anywho, I believe I remember the article you speak of and it was an SRT, a sick SRT that had some kind of engine issue and even they stated they had gotten a 13.1 or 13.2 out of the SRT8, think is was missing or something to that effect

They had a #7 cylinder misfire issue with the early 6-speed equipped SRTs. I read on a Challenger site it affected about 1 in 6 of the 6-speed SRTs.

Not a camaro bash but no V6 Camaro is going to beat a R/T Challenger unless the R/T driver is blind and missing both arms.

And yes I do know that stock for stock V6 camaros and mustangs will beat V6 challengers. We won't be competitive, possibly, until the new pentastar comes out. Maybe not even then depending on new HP and torque and weight is still an issue comparitively

REEFBLUE93 · 06-07-2010, 06:25 PM

Some of you people that are talking about V6 Camaros staying a car length behind "place your favorite V8 muscle car here" do realize that would put the Camaro right on the back bumper of the other car, right? A car length is just what it says. If you're getting beaten and the distance between your front bumper and the assailant's back bumper is a car length or more, you're getting beaten by two or more car lengths.

2SSARMY · 06-07-2010, 06:27 PM

Stop comparing the R/T to the SS. Might be same price bracket but that's cheating. R/T needs a few mods to keep up with stock SS. SRT8, although way up there in price, is what should be compared to the SS and GT.

Are they running at the best tracks in negative DA???? The only stock R/T I ever saw hit 13.8 once and was running straight 14.0-14.1.
