1998 Z28 vs 2012 Challenger SRT8 6.4L
So, coming back from my brother's place in Black Diamond I
pull up to a light and who pulls up next to me but a 2012
Challenger SRT8. I figure this should be a decent race due
to the porky weight of the SRT8. My m6 Z has longtubes, ory,
ls6 intake, 295's out back, rear lca's, subframes, lid and
other minor bolt on's.
Neither of us said anything, we just knew s&it was about to
go down! The Challenger is LOUD, I can't even hear my car
barely even with longtubes and ORY! As soon as the light
turned green, I nailed it. Wheelspin galore...Challenger is pulling
by a fender or so on me through second gear.
I go for third and my clutch pedal sticks to the floor *f*ck!!* call
it a race at that and he zooms by.
Feeling a little disappointed, I then notice a "pro charged and intercooled"
plate frame. So this SRT8 which makes 470 hp stock is pushing 600 + at
the crank. I felt pretty good that my ~350 rwhp Z put up a decent fight.
The third gear thing really screwed me.
I also had my t-roofs out , not to make a ricer excuse but that probably
didn't help
I do the ranger method often but am still on the stock slave. Looking at a tick now!

If that challenger was making anywhere close to 600whp you wouldn't have had a chance, just saying lol. Maybe he was spinning and couldn't drive.
Always fun to get a little run in though, nice death.
