Re: Something i noticed about the Challenger

We've seen the SRT8 Chargers pull high 12's at around 4400 lbs. The challenger will best that simply because of weight/power ratio.

BUT is it good enough?!?! The GT500 Ford is producing will have at least 475 ponies and weigh LESS than 4000 lbs.

If DCX fails to beat the GT500 out of the factory, the only question is WHY?!?!

While this is truly an awesome car, I can't help but to be a bit disheartened by the above possibility.
Actually the "official" weight hasn't been released yet. The 4100 lbs rumours are just that magazine rumours.
