Edmunds.com did a quick review on the R/T and got it to do 0-60 in 5.9 seconds... and from a rolling start in 5.7 seconds... Which indicates to me that its weight is really hindering it's performance... I only mention that because the Cobalt SS Turbo stock is just as quick...
OBESE LOL

yes amazing numbers for the weight but SLOWER THAN A 05 STANG GT WITH ONLY 300HP WHAT A JOKE

Dodge stated that the 2010 RT Challenger goes 0 to 60 in 5.5 , now the 2005 Mustang GT will do it in 5.1 with a good driver 4.9 so guess who is slower oh and 14.1 for 1/4 mile vs 13.6 (Average time) for the GT

look you stay with your .2 sec faster 1,000,000 production unit mustang which frankly has messed up the look of the mustang ever since the redesign in 2005 IMO and I will stick with my srt8 5000 production # dodge challenger which is heavier, safer, and better built than the mustang. Also has better looks IMO of course.

btw it is the 2009 RT.....2010 you should be scared....

agreed. not a ford/mustang fan at all , but the current GT does look decent. i have a feeling the maro will hold its own, for a looong while, before any other pony car surpases its looks. dodge challenger: second best
