SRT8 isnt much better at 13.8 @ 103.0 mph... what a shame.

It is a little disappointing. I wonder how those modern times compare to the challenger of the past? Same question with the charger?

I knew it would be like this. Typical Chrysler junk, the mustang and the camaro should handle this thing with ease.

The dodge challenger r/t should be where the srt is and the srt should be some where around the gt500, that car is a utter joke in every way, all they wanna sell is the name and looks and you know it true
