Dodge Challenger Races Honda Civic SI At Drag Strip

YouTube - Dodge Challenger SRT8 vs. Honda Civic Si 1/8 Mile

Loyal reader Jack found himself at Irwindale Raceway in SoCal yesterday for the run-what-ya-brung night and lookie what was there, a brand new 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8. Here we catch a glimpse of the lady driver givin' it to a Honda Civic SI in an 1/8th mile run which sees the new Mopar take it easy all the way to a winning finish. At least that's what we hope we're seeing. If a Challenger doesn't obliterate an SI at the strip something is very wrong. We're still wondering who the blonde bombshell behind the wheel was. Anyone out there know? Also, does the Challenger pictured here have the legendary drag package we've heard about for almost a year now?

First kill of a ricer! Excellent!!

It would have been worse for the Honda if it was a 1/4 mile race instead of a 1/8.

If our Hemeee changed colors/it might be her ?As for the drag package, I don't see anything that would give a hint ?!?!

Remember when we saw that black Dodge Challenger SRT8 making some runs at Irwindale Speedway? Remember the unknown "blonde bombshell" at the wheel last week? Well, it's confirmed — she is a bombshell, and now she's no longer "unknown." Turns out it was Alison Haislip of G4TV doing a bit of test dragging with Chrsylerberus' new Mopar muscle car. Here we get to see her take a stab at a Shelby Mustang that almost loses it into the wall while losing to a girl — well, at least that's what it looks like from the editing. We're just stuck wondering how a bunch of tech nerds got their hands on one of these before us. Hey Dodge, are you listening? [G4TV]

I think dodge finally got the message that the ford and chevy already did their starting the marketing blitz to youth geek and gamer crowd & what have you.... although alot of kiddies in this demographic might not be able to afford a new chally yet, dodge can certainally make it look cool and make everyone aware its available... I appluad um for that keep it up dodge! now all we need is our own movie starring a challenger although vanishing point might not appeal to the youth crowd.


excuse the run-on, the shelby almost wrecking priceless!
