Ok so I have a 01 ss M6 basically stock other than K&N FIPK and a bullet cat-back. The car seems to run pretty good - nothing amazing of course. My buddy just bought a '12 challenger srt8 392 M6. He thinks its fast as hell - which it seemed to run pretty good. I got behind him outside of town the other day, he kicked it and I went to 4th and he didn't pull me any but I couldn't gain on him that time. We did this 3 or 4 times running up to about 100 mph with me downshifting into 3rd and either I could stay right with him or gain slightly on him ( all runs were while going down the road). I got in front of him headin back towards town and I kicked it (like he had) and pulled him by at least 3-4 cars. Now personally I am fairly certain my car isn't faster than his (mine has roughly 145 hp less) and I know he isn't able to drive it that well yet, but do you think I could take him at the strip? I feel confident I could get him in the 1/8th maybe not the 1/4. What do you guys think?

 

lol not another one of these ******* threads. suddenly stock f bodys are taking out 115+ mph cars left and right. Damn. Fastest stock fbody week right here.

 

No and No and No. You cant.

 

Sounds like the SRT8 needed a paintjob...

 

Stripes might help too LOL and if that don't get it done ghost flames for sur

 

Now you guys stop right here! The last person we did this to deleted his whole thread.. If he wants to stay in fantasy land and believe his stock f-body can hang or beat a '12 challenger srt8 392 M6 then it's o.k. with me!!

 

He did beat him. Driver was shifting 1-4-6.

 

See guys anything can happen on the streets.. We are in a learning curve to..

I knew he could beat that car..

 

To think the 392's are consistent 115mph cars is silly. Id say more like 110-112 on average. Ive seen plenty run under 110.

It was a M6. Throw in a crappy driver thats short shifting the **** outta the car and this is totally believable.

Did this really happen as he says. Prolly so. Did he beat the car or the driver?? Def the driver. **** happens.

 

Maybe that charger was actually a 5.7 hemi with srt8 392 badges...

 

Watched one run 13.04-13.8 and trap 107-110 all night Friday at San Antonio Raceway.



EVen then from a roll I still dont think the stock Fbody is keeping up. But with worse driver ever maybe. LOL

 

For realz? My best friends '11 I/E 392 ran consistent 12.38-12.50 @ 113-115...bone stock...

Funny how stockish F-body's are all of the sudden running low 12s. Unfortunately, mine was only able to pull off low 13's @ 107.x in stoxk trim.

 

These threads are getting ridiculous.

 

115 isnt just silly its ABSURD. Was just saying today mopar has created a hell of a marketing hype with this stupid non hemi, hemi.

 

So I/e is stock?

But yes those as times it posted. Was funny a stock looking/sounding RT challenger was running just as good.

 

Bone stock means stock tires too, im pretty sure it didnt get into the mid 12s on the stock tires, agreed on the ridiculous threads.

 

Watched one run 12.6 not too long ago. So umm... driver mod needed I guess!?

 

Im guessing hes talking about the first model year with the 392...Inaugural Edition

While i do agree theres a lot of hype surrounding the new 392 and unbelievably around here of all places they get TOO MUCH respect. They are mid 12sec cars out of the box with stock tires if theyre driven by a competent driver. Think the hero run is 12.1-12.2 with stock everything.

 

I went 12.4s in a stock one. They are fast.
If someone can drive half decent they will mop the floor with a stockish LS1 F body

 

A stock manual vs lid/catback ls1 m6 would be a close race imho. An auto on the other hand would take full boltons.
