i walk them (5-6 cars or more) all day (with driver mod or not) not trying to be cocky or anything but my car is stock other than a fenderwell intake. around my area they are big and everyone thinks they are super fast but i dont think they are that special but thats my opinion sorry to the guys that like them

interesting. i dont find that these cars are that bad to "control" besides the lack of traction on launch. people complain about torque steer but it doesnt bother me. it lets me know im actually driving a car and picking up speed at a good pace. even if i cut a poor launch chargers aren't that fast to get outside of pulling range.

R/Ts My mods at the time were K&N,TBS, Magnaflow and diablo. The first loss was coming out of a toll both outside of Chicago on a roll, he just drove on by like I was standing still. I think his license plate read "too slow"....it still hurts to think about. The second time was coming home from work, a dig off a traffic light she got me by a 3/4 of a car. Yes I said a she, afterwards we both gave each other a thumbs up, one cool middle aged lady.

FWIW I took down a R/T just the other day from a 40 roll... magnaflow catback and K&N intake, with a burnt #2 clutch. Pulled up to the light afterward and said "PLEASE tell me that isnt a hemi"

I deliver pizza again today. So hopefully I find the Lancer again. It would be great! It won't be hard finding a Charger though. They're unfortunately everywhere here.

Good thread though. I've wondered many times about the R/T. I've seen a few around town and they are starting to get cocky...
