392 Challenger running 12.4 by dodge (actual video)
ENJOY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFbxZZtywZ0
This is Dodge testing it at the track on 11-10-10. Video was posted on 11-15-10. Sorry just noticed it was never posted on here and im just getting around to it.
I believe it was real low to negative DA and the track has a downhill slope.
(12.4 Definitely wont be real world numbers)
Watch the whole video because at the end you can hear how the car sounds! It sounds like it has an aftermarket cam in it but its a STOCK car. According to Dodge and other sources, the 392 Challenger just barely passes the legal noise level! They really made this thing sound good from the factory!!!

I assumed that when you said, "i was still expecting better than a 12.4 but whatever," you were talking about what the performance should be based on the specs of the car. Not the performance for the cost.

I don't think that camming idle at the very end was from the Challenger. Too much audiable overlap in that note to have cats and still pass USEPA tests.

Off topic, anyone spot the red LT1 formula?

The original person who filmed the video did indeed confirm that that was the challenger's idle. Not sure if it will sound like that in the production cars though. According to Dodge it just BARELY passed the legal noise level inspection so i dont know.

If that was the Challenger's idle, then I promise you that is not the production model's cam/engine/exhaust (however, I still highly doubt that sound was from the Challenger anyway). Any production car will have to have cats, and for anything with cats to have that much audiable cam lope there would be no way it could pass the USEPA's FTP for motor vehicles.

I've seen the video before, and the person who provided it stated that it was another car in staging and WAS NOT the Challenger. Notice how later in the video the sound of the cammed vehicle gets quiter while the camera is close to the Challenger and quiter, despite it being loud from a distance at the beginning. As loud as the Challenger is, it it still withing legal threshold and therefore is not going to even be as loud as a lot of catbacks sound...
What it is in the video is purely stock production.
