2009 Dodge Challenger: 2009 Dodge Challenger

This guy apparently test drives the manual R/T and SRT8. Seems pretty favourable - the only thing I hope is that the R/T 0-60 time he published was wrong. I heard it was 0-60 in 5.9 sec, not 7 sec!

There can be a big difference between an average driver and a skilled driver in the 1/4 mile.

The article has two big mistakes. First the 0-60 mph time of the R/T is in the mid 5's. The SE does it in 7.7 sec. Also, the 6-speed SRT does not have MDS.
