Question Dodge Challenger

I just saw a black on black Challenger coming up route 5. Has anyone else seen one up close and personal? Has anyone ran one yet? They should be putting down around the same as the Charger SRT-8 right? Not too concern, but I think it will be a good challenge to the V (in the 1/4 of course).

They weigh close to 4200 pounds. I think we have them covered. The new V has them covered by the 1/8th mile.

Challenger = low 13s tops. So no worries.

From what I have gathered... we run low 13s at best. So it might be a case to worry. They are heavy beast though, and if it's the same setup as the rest of the SRT-8s; then we should be straight.

What mods do you have? Murdering=not seeing your tailights. Might be a case of driver's mod.

Watch out, guys. They may carry a few extra pounds, but those hemis are underrated by the factory. They won't miss a shift, but if you do ...

Point and shoot ... that's what they are ... just point and shoot.

Stock vs stock, it's a driver's race.

I was doing 146 and he was 1.5 miles back. I was about to get off at my exit and left him there, I had to get off and flip a bitch to get home.

LOL...then yeah that's a homicide. But, I still think it will be a close race though. I guess, I will cross that bridge when it comes.
