I will accept claims that abide by the laws of physics and common sense.
Ill never in all my life, even if someone has a gun to my head, accept that a 4200lb 425 hp stock automatic car will run faster than a 3800 lb 426 hp manual transmission car. SORRY Im not sure why this is so hard to comprehend for some people. |

Just not experience or first hand knowledge.

Do you have first hand knowledge of a 12-second SRT running 12s? Do you own a bone stock 12 second SRT? I notice not one of those who says it's true has first hand knowledge or has done it themselves. It's also funny that the magazines said the 2005-2009 Mustangs ran ~13.8 bone stock, and real world drivers found this to be close. They said the Camaro SS ran 12.9 quarter miles, and again real world drivers found this to be close. But when they said the R/T was a ~13.8 car and the SRT was a 13.2 car, suddenly the excuses came out. You know the typical Dodge excuses, biased testing, bribery, and my favorite the 'Well the rag drivers don't know how to drive HEMIs'. Bottom line, exeryone except the die-hard Dodge guys will openly admit from a strictly performance standpoint, the Camaro SS is head and shoulders above the Challenger R/T. |

I believe the GT will be a bit quicker, especially when optioned with the 3.55 or 3.73 rears. it is lighter, only slightly short on HP, with its shorter tires, the transmission gearing is more aggressive than the SS, the 11 GMustang GT is going to be the hos cat here. |

Funny how the guy started the thread looking for all around opinions on both and ended up in a 1/4 mile war discussion
BOTH cars are AWESOME to look at and drive. I went with the v6 Camaro for my own reasons.. want to own the 2012 convertible version in a v8 and may STILL buy a Challenger some day. The Mits Evo a coworker drives runs a low 13 stock.. but I'll probably NEVER own one of those...

Just my .02,
I have a 2010 Camaro SS and a Chrysler 300 SRT8 so i'm coming from first hand experience. I test drove a Challenger SRT8 and it feels very similar to the 300 and I shall get one someday. I have both cars so i'm not biased towards Bowties or Mopars. I hate to say it but i have always beat the 300 with the SS by atleast 2-3 car lengths. My nephew was driving the 300 and he is an experienced driver. The R/T will have a much tougher time keeping up without mods. The 300 keeps up in 1st gear and thats about it. 2-3 car lenghts isn't bad though considering the 300's weight disadvantage. As far as the 300 SRT8 hitting 12's in the 1/4 bone stock, that is very hard to believe. My nephew has a E92 M3 and that hits 12 seconds all day. He takes both my 300 and Camaro all the time. The Camaro can keep up which is ok with me because I didn't pay 75K for the camaro. Haha! Again this is just from experience. Not biased towards any brand. If the GT500 wasn't so expensive I would try and get that as well. Last edited by AmericanV8; 03-01-2010 at 04:38 PM. |

well from firsthand experience ive seen a 2009 challenger srt8 and a 2010 camaro ss line up (my girlfriends dad and his buddy) and they raced from a dead stop at a redlight and the challenger actually got ahead of the camaro at first, but only for a few seconds. rex's camaro came right on around and passed him, and didnt seem to be losing any ground before my gf's old man called it quits....im not saying this proves ANYTHING at ALL, it was just what i saw. (both were automatics, bone stock) i cant wait for them to go to the track when it gets warmer, theyve both added intakes and tunes and my gf's dad is back to saying he could whip the pants off of the camaro! btw i couldnt care less which one is faster, im no racer, its mostly about looks to me, so nobody flame me for not knowing anything about performance!!

If you knew anything about current SAE ratings you would know that since 2005 all motors are SAE certified to make exactly what they make. And yes the ls1 cars were under rated. but that was before 2005 now wasnt it. Same with the 03 cobras and everything else before 2005. Go do your homework before you start trying to lecture me. I never said the car couldnt be beat. I am betting it will be (mustang) slightly quicker than the camaro in 2011. I said it wouldnt be an easy win. Way to take my post out of context. because I try to use some common sense and compare power to weight among other things now I am a fool. And now I am a biased fanboy because I dont believe a 300c ran a 12.5....give me a break. Last edited by ULTRAZLS1; 03-01-2010 at 04:22 PM. |
