This is something I think everybody will get a kick out of, especially future V6 Camaro owners. I just read in the current ( December 2008 ) issue of Road & Track on page 122. Believe it or not, they tested the Dodge Challenger R/T, ( NOT the SRT8, but the R/T )and got a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds, and a quarter mile time of 14.5 seconds at 99 mph. If the Direct 6 Camaro is as advertised, there are going to be some turly surprised and very upset / embarrassed Challenger R/T owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was not impressed with the R/T when I test drove it a couple of weeks ago..
Also I will be one of the guys that will also turbocharge the v6 when the warranty goes out. I'll be looking for well over 400whp (500whp would be nice running water injection) on pump gas on daily driving situations. I drive a Audi A4 1.8t quattro daily and with lots of mods, including a bigger turbo I've gone from 155hp to right around 325 on pump gas with stock internals. |

Even if you put it at 6.0 and 14.3 for "drivers error", that's still in line with the V6 Camaro...interesting. And sad for Dodge guys.... |

Maybe the challenger will get better (if and) when GM buys out DC.

The MT numbers are usually spot on. But heres a few things to get your smile back on.
7.3 - The 0-60 time of the base Challenger. Hahaha. 15.6 - The 1/4 time of the base Challenger. Hahaha. 13G's - The difference in base prices for the SS and the SRT8. And the SS is just as fast
