New Challengers are pimp.

Cocktail kittens are not really going to care that you run a 13.XX in the 1/4 mile with the 94.

Sometimes, you just have to know what the mission objective is.

the second time we came up to a light and i could tell it was on. I braked it alittle to 1200. then green and i was gone. i had about a length on him at 60 and probaby close to 2 at 90. and we ran into traffic. we came up to another light and he rolled down his window and we just talked a bit.

i figured this is probably pretty close to correct because i have watched the youtube videos of the srt8s and i know my car will run 13.1 at international speedway in wichita. so chalk one up for the ole LT1... made the recent mods all worth it. my dad has been talking about getting one... cant wait till i smoke his brand new car! haha
I drove an SRT8 Challenger. Not impressed at all

Nice kill...what cam do you have? Cam/Heads and you should be WELL into the 12s (or just burn that baby to the ground).

Edit: saw you trapped 107? with heads/cam? WTF?

ya its a mild h/c package... i dynoed at only 330rwhp. you can barely hear it it lope. but i drive it 85 miles to and from work everyday... so i needed some better than stock but not too crazy as soon as i get a different DD then bigger cam. maybe the LE2 setup. and i think i have 2.73s... not sure... but i'm about to say screw mileage and put 3.73s in it! does anyone know drive train loss percentage on an LT1 A4?

DTL% is all over the place (I've heard 16% several times... dunno)

I had 3.42s and that was about perfect as far as performance and keeping gas mileage decent.
