Default H/C TA vs new 392 challenger. (UPDATE AFTER TUNE)

So I'm going back home and far ahead I see these long wide lights that look like challenger lights. I catch up and see it's a spanking new 392 with dealer plates and all. Orange with silver stripes. shouldn't be running but i got called out by him, my car isn't tuned yet but i guess when you have addrenaline in you, you really don't care. We got side by side and we both took off evenlly. By the time we ended I had a good car on em with him by my rear bumper. The other run we were side by side with me slowly pulling but no room left so we let off.

Not sure what these put down to the wheel. I know they are 470/470 still impressed with my old little bird, after all these years it still flies.


My car made 396 RWHP and 387 TQ. Not bad for my very first build.

Nice kill! Your car definitely needs a tune bad!!

My 4250lb boat still impresses me even though I haven't installed one single mod yet. Can't wait for tuning software so I can drop my intake, LT's/X-pipe and converter in.

to answer OP's question, they put down 410-420rwhp and trap maybe 111-112mph on average.

111-112 is basically just about a stock camaro m6 or mustang. I think they are closer to the above comment 112-114 with 112 being the slowest they should run. Ofcourse we talk about what they should run but who knows driver, track and different factors effect times and mph. I havent raced a 392 Challenger yet but i figured on motor i would get pulled on, no doubt. Hopefully ill get to see more of them around dodge/chrysler did a great job with the SRT lineup.

As far as looks go since the release of the new Challengers:
Challenger > Mustang > Nissan Juke > Camaro.
Not really about the Juke, those are the ugliest cars ever made, but you get the point.

Who was comparing Stop being a jealous jackass. If I wanted a new Mustang I could have bought two. I like all different cars so don't be suprised to find one sitting in my garage next year, and then i'll be cool like you are with your '88.

Will do. I don't like going WOT, if anything happens then I guess I'm going for something bigger. So far the times that I've hauled it has been good.
