Re: Picture of door tag on Challenger says it weighs 4160lbs.
I'm a Ford guy so forgive my ignorance of the new hemi engines. Are they a an aluminum block? Also I assume the IRS is heavier than a live axel set up. I wonder how far they will go in weight reduction by production time? If they could get it down to 3,600 lbs. it would be a rocket. Also all these newer cars have big ass heay 19" and 20" wheels. I cut a tenth off my quarter mile time by running Weld draglights (less rotational mass) I bet it would be 2 tenths with those big wheels (my factory Bullitts are 17").
