Okay, so maybe Argument wasn't the exact word I meant to use. Debate or Question would seem to be more inline with what I was trying to say. Anyway, regardless if the actual performance is better, as stated, or worse, there's always going be someone out there ready to debate or question it, that's all I was trying to say.
Furthermore, I also want to see someone other the Dodge, or Ford and Chevy run the numbers on it before I start believing what it's performance base line is.

A car is only as fast as a driver can drive it. If it is a proven 10.xx car and you put 20 people in it that can only run 12.xx then how fast is it?

Who cares if they ran 30 times to get that number show me one person here who makes a personal best every time the race? Not one single person.

Like any other fast expensive new "muscle" car, there will be two groups... tuner/perf shops who buy em as a shop car and get em moving very fast with mods etc so they can stay ahead of the curve with new technology, annnd the rich mid life crisis guys who get butthurt at the track or a red light when they get beat on by old POS cars.

Other version of the rich mid life crisis guy is the one who drops car and blank check at Perf Shop..

In the end, who cares.

I'm impressed and satisfied that it lives up to the claims. Figure a cool autumn night and a 11.2-11.0 might be possible. I can't believe they put 275/20s on a car that makes 700hp though. I figured they'd at least put 305s on it, but if memory serves me, there isn't a lot of room in the wheel wells to put wider tires.

I couldn't see going with the 6spd manual trans, the 8 speed auto in it can be shifted manually with the paddle shifters, and it'll probably be faster than the 6spd manual trans. and equal it in mpg; if that even matters!

What's a little disappointing with this car is the lack of innovation into the sector. Don't get me wrong I'm not expecting torque fill electric motors or KURS systems, but some use of tech found on the current very high end car would be nice! Carbon body maybe. Turnover engine maybe. Something other than what other company have been doing in the sector for generations now.

I don't know what ratio it comes with but it comes factory with a selectable stall. Start the video at 2:00 min and he explains it.

Just wate until someone pulls off the blower and turbo charges this thing! This pig will fly. I was watching a interveiw with the engineers and the guy ask the engineers what it would make when the "tuners" got there hands on it, One of the engineers said he won't be surprised if they break the 4 diget mark!

I'd expect to see Dodge come out with their own Challenger version of the COPO Camaro, with standard SRT V8 and the Hellcat engine.

My dad just put in his order for one of these Wednesday. Got the red just like in the video.

Should be a pretty sweet ride.

He got the 8 spd auto. Summer tires instead of all seasons was the only thing he changed.

Came in right around 63k

Well they did come out with the Drag Pak in 2011, which was a stripped Challenger with the Viper V-10 in it.
