Being honest, I am not sure what they are flywheel rated at from the factory. I thought it was like 425 or something.

The Challengers are really nice cars. I wouldn't mind picking one up
and throwing a little nitrous on it while keeping everything else bone stock.
I miss the N/A automatic daily drivers.

That is a nice car. I've seen a lot in person and like them but they are too damn big.

i stopped to look at one last week at the dealer, same model and color. I like the look( had a 1972 with a 400 BB in it when i was 20)... I like the rims too

**** i dont like is they only come in an auto till next year, the interior is boring, and WTF were they thinking with using a carbon fiber sticker on the hood?!?!?!? 50k was the sticker for the one i looked at(way too much)....they should have sprayed the flat black on the hood just like the spoiler is done in.....oh and shitty shitty gas mileage

any more pics of the other car?

394rwhp

either im jsut expecting to much but for a 6.1LV8 rated at 425 with a cat-back intake and tune putting down 394 isnt to impressive at all

Ideally in a 425 flywheel horsepower engine when placed in an automatic you can expect 15% loss give or take. So ideally, that car should put down 361 stock. Factor in the fact that it has 20's on top of that. 394 seemed right to me.
