13.2 @ 109 (SRT8) vs the Mustang's 13.3 @ 104.

Track must be @ elevation but looks like the SRT8 out trapped and out E.T'd the Mustang, but lost the race because it looked like the SRT8 was sleeping @ the tree.

So this thread proved what?

This!

The 392 was still faster than the 5.0, by a large amount at that.

~90 percent done. It runs, but needs tuning and some other things. I need to quit deploying so I have more time to finish it lol.

So the moral of the story is that 392 challenger is faster than a mustang gt. got it.

the driver of the 392 was asleep at the light and shifted slower than Christmas...otherwise would have trained the stang..but then again we're talking about 392 vs 302

Stoppy..I hear ya but there are always some exceptions as to what people can run in their cars. Some do better than others but they are not the norm. The problem is that once one person has an amazing run, then people associate that time or trap with all of them. I think everyone always hypes up cars by a couple of mph or 1/10 of seconds in the 1/4 and this usually shifts the Bell Curve.
Regardless, moving that weight in the Challenger to a low 13 at 109 is moving pretty good.. IMO. I will have to say that I am a little surprised though at the 5.0 trapping 104...I could see a bad ET with a good trap but that low trap speed was a little surprising for the Stang..
