General Challenger DiscussionThis section contains general discussion about the Dodge Challenger. If it does not fit into a more specific area, it probably belongs in here. (Dodge Challenger General Discussion)
Umm Santa, can I have the Challenger for Xmas pretty please? Oh, and make it a 6 speed too! While the numbers were close I think if the Challenger had a 6 speed it would have been closer or the snake may have been behind a little. The bad thing is that the Challenger was not using the 6.1 so as a head to head the Super Snake would probably eat the Challenger alive if it was the 6.1. But, I did like the video!
the 6.1 to 7.0 change is not really too much hp increase. The most power increases comes from the heads and cam, and in this case the blower. So it is possible with all of that on the 6.1 you can make the same power, but the real problem is that the 6.1 has no forged internals. Thats why many just up the cubes to either 392 (6.4) or 426 (7.0) while they are in the block

Hey BasilOo dont let cpmpcobra get to you, it's not like it's Dodge's fault for it overheating but the tuners were the ones that made it so it should be looked at it from that perspective. And they did compare a 5 spd vs an auto and it still did pretty good overall. Plus that Challenger just looks better!

What's wrong with the Shelby? I think they look pretty good I like them over the regular ones.

I was not happy how ford brought shelby on board in late 05 after the new stang was already engineered buy SVT, they just bought his name for the car. It was a marketing ploy that turned out to be quite profitable. That super snake is msrp almost 80k but you wouldnt touch it for that, More like 100k. So dollar for dollar I would take that chally before the snake{stupid cobra has a solid diff}. Who knows, maybe it was some thing simple that malfuntioned on the dodge.
So all in all, the Supersnake is a little faster, but the Challenger looks like more of a fun ride.
Me personally, I think the chally is really hurting for some wider tires? I have seen a few around and cant believe how skinny they are! I am sure a set of Nitto,s with some extra width would really help.
the shelby is nice but definately the challenger is a much better vehicle.Only ford people would want to take a trip in the stang,the challenger will be much more corfortable and a better driver
