Re: Something i noticed about the Challenger

I'm a big time drag racer (normally race once a week) all these new Mopar cars I see at the track don't seem to be a quick as one would think with the hp and torque, I assume from the weight. If the new Mustang GT can run 13.6's bone stock at 3,600 lbs then I bet the Challenger will be an easy low 13 second car from the factory.
I look for the Magnums and Chargers to run better this year once the owners start to experiment and cut some weight. The aftermarket will pick up the pace and you'll see these cars running faster by seasons end.
Throw a set of 4.10's, a 3500 stall converter and some drag radials on a Charger and I bet it will scoot pretty good.
My 02 GT runs 12.80's with only 250 rwhp so I can only imagine what I could do with a 425 hp hemi. Think one of those will bolt up to my Ford's tranny?
