2012 SRT8 Challenger runs a 12.91 @113.5 Went to Royal Purple Raceway Park in Baytown friday night and it was HOTTTTT and HumiD!!! Went to race my buddies 2012 Bone stock SRT8 470/470 Challenger auto that some claim aren't very fast on this forum. I had some mechanical issues but my 02 SS Camaro still ran a 12.36 @ 117. He runs a 12.91 @ 113.5 on the factory street tires spinning with 35PSI in them. In some cool air on sticky tires that bitch will run a bottom 12. The car weighs 4120 without anybody in it. The Camaro weighs 3420 empty.

I have to say that those times are very impressive..especially the trap speed. With that amount of weight and on street tires, that is moving..at least in my opinion..
Definitely, a nasty street car..
Too bad Dodge/Chrysler could not take that new Dodge Dart and have an option of the 392 Hemi motor...I would scoop that up in a heartbeat..

60 ft The DA was terrible. Hot and Humid as hell. the 60 ft was a 2.11. Its July in southeast Texas.
Transamcoupe98 says not impressive. You put 4 guys in your car that weigh 200 lbs and make a pass and then lets see how slow it is in this heat. Some of the people on here do not have a clue.
I knew I would beat him but that car is pretty respectable for bone stock down to the air filter.
The car is pricey of course which is a negative but it is a very nice car. The z06 Vettes weigh 3000lbs....same goes for them...put 1200 lbs in the passenger seat or behind it and it won't run a 12.50 in this air.
lets deal in reality not bench racing dreams.

A Guy also comes to Friday nights meets with a new 300 srt. Said it cost him 56k fully loaded every option he could. Very nice car but couldn't pay 56k for it myself . That is his wife's car he has a new SS.

I think the new Charger/Chally is worth every penny. I wish i never would have got caught up with my camaro and just went and bought one. So now im rocking the v6 charger lol but hey 33mpg on the highway is pretty good.

Personaly I love the new challengers. I think they are very good looking cars and have a hefty motor with power to spare.. 12's for a car that heavy is very impressive and anyone that doesn't agree on that is a moron.. Price wise the SS camaro is a better buy but I think the new SRT8 challengers stock for stock outperforms the SS Camaros.. Then again for around the same money as a STR8 challenger I could get a 2013 GT500 which would rip the *** cheeks out of most pony cars stock for stock..

Using the hottest part of the day with the highest amount of humidity recorded for the day and the average barometric pressure for the day, the DA was 2348. Corrected times for stock-mildly modified vehicles would be 12.545 @ 116.274 MPH. So the DA did mess the times up pretty good. Just not an impressive run...like my previous statement.

Yea bro. Run 12.90s @ 113 for 50k. For ALLLLL the **** I have read in SRK specifically about the 392 and how fast it is etc etc I was expecting minimum 12.40-50's @ 116 ish. Im not "bashing" the 392, I'm just not impressed mostly considering the price tag. Now could the DA be hurting it, absolutely. Im checking the DA for that track for the past few days and Ill calculate.

Im saying it now...Besides I already proved myself wrong by lookin gup the DA and correcting the times. It ran what I was expecting them to run so I retract my statement. I simply said that wasnt a great run, not a huge deal. My mistake for not taking DA into account as much as I should have.
