Have improved from low 14s to low 13s stock. Not including hero runs.

The 392 is a different topic. Always been mid to low 12s.
Impressive that R/Ts have gotten that quick. The 392 info is accurate if you don't count the manual cars, they are definitely not pulled mid to low all day long like the autos.

I have a 16 charger scat pack, yeah she is a fat pig lol. I'd be up for a butt kicking if anyone is down located in socal... maybe something with minor bolt ons. All I have is a CAI. I've ran a czo6, and a 98 camaro with LTs, and a baby cam . I'd be down tho . She ran a 8.0 in the 1/8th.. not the best but she is heavy lol

If you raced that V1 from a dig, I'm not surprised. LOL ******* V1s and digs don't go hand in hand. Too many guys in V1s with no driving skill to run from digs. Only manual cars too... no automagic for V1s.

Not impressed with these RT cars tbh. Expect more out of them and haven't seen it. Saw a guy with an auto '15 one run 14.8 @ sub 100. He ran quite a few times (I want to say around 6-7 times), never got out of the 14.5+ range and never got over 100mph. This was ~2 years ago in about 2k DA and idk if it was 8spd or not. I don't follow them like that to know when they got an 8spd. My friend has managed a 14.3 in a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT though... so maybe there's some kind of hope around there.

I'd rather take an SRT Jeep over any of the others, just because they seem to run better and more consistent. Same time frame, saw a guy hop in one with paper plates and run 13.5 @ 105 or something, consistently... right on target with what magazine times said it'd run.

OP: As expected. Not surprised to see a 13s car gap a 14s car.
12.2 second vs 14 second lol.

I agree, well driven m6 ls1s can run low 13s

I would say good luck finding a stock LS1 F-body with manual transmission.

Agreed... finding a stock one that still runs well would be a challenge.

My brother found one and gobbled it up already. Bone stock, just some lowering springs. 02 SS.
