Bolt on 01 SS VS New Challenger I had the pleasure of lining up with a new Challanger on Sat.night at a local street race (in Mexico) A friend of mine brought it out and he hadn't even signed the papers on it yet LOL
I was in my girlfriend's 2001 SS, it has long tubes, a lid, cutout, and a tune. Oh yea, I was also on slicks
Of course his car is still bone stock.
The first race he tried to manually shift it and it automatically shifted at 5500, he spun about 10 feet or less, I dead hooked. I beat him by 7-10 cars
The second race he left it in drive, spun about 5-10 feet, it went all the way to redline before it shifted. I dead hooked again and put about 4-5 cars on him.
There is a vid with a few races from that night including the first one that we did. I'll try to post it up later but it's kinda poor quality.
Anyway, It was a fun couple of races with a new car, I figured you guys would enjoy hearing about it.
Oh yea, LS1 > Hemi LOL

x2 on above.
not a fair comparison for this race...and i find it impressive that the srt8 chargers that are waaaay more comfortable and waay quieter and more luxurious are keeping up with the ls1 sports cars...sometimes beating.

Nice kill, I guess. You were on slicks cutting 1.8 or better 60fts and he was probably at 2.2 or worse. Why not go from a roll to see how the two cars really compare?

I've seen 355 to 385rwhp depending upon the dyno and conditions over the years. Mine was 365rwhp.
