Better yet baby seats and groceries




I'm talking about a slightly modded G8 GXP. Not a GT. If you can show me multiple examples of proof otherwise I'd be very interested in seeing it.



Hell a fully loaded 2ss wouldn't be too far off a base 392.
Yea right LOL a 10 SS is a drivers race with a stock 6.1 Challenger. Been proven many times. Anytime I race my friends 10'ss we are a dead even race all the way up to 130 where i start to edge him. Me intake, catback, tune. Him LS3, intake, catback, tune. A 392 will run away from a 10 SS both drivers being equal. More Hp, faster times, higher trap

To date has anyone with a manual 392 even hit a 12.5? Last I knew the record pass was a 12.7.

Aren't the fastest ones automatics like your car? I'm pretty sure they were designed so a 67 year old man can drive it just as good as anyone else. Not to mention how do you drive up on someone and tell if they are a rookie or not? ******* moron

Face it...you haven't ran one before because you are afraid of getting your **** pushed in by a stock 392 because in reality your car with mods runs mid 8's to low 8's in the 1/8th depending on which ****** wheels you happen to be running that day.

I'm not that impressed with 392s. Not bad, just expected more.

I am very impressed with the 392 5A cars. They're running mid-low 12's out here in good weather, right where they're supposed to be going by their power-to-weight. For comparisons sake, majority of the 6.1 cars were running bottom 13s here when new. And the 6.4's just downright haul *** from a roll.

I've noticed the only people "not impressed" with the new 392 are butt-hurt Ford guys and the older 6.1L owners. Go figure.

That maybe true. However, if you read earlier in this thread where I compared the 6.1l based 392 to the current 5.7l based 392 in the production cars you would know that the Gen III 6.4l (6.1 based) produces more power than the current 5.7l based engine with the MDS. My engine was swapped a while ago and I am currently making more power than the current 392s.

Seeing as the 5.7L-based motor is a "production" engine I am actually not surprised. Still, to power a 4200lb car into the low 12's ain't too shabby. Leagues ahead of the old 6.1L which only a short time ago was considered a rather impressive performer.

IDK but the only one here that I know goes to the track can't get out of the 13s. When we met he said "well I should be able to get a better time than you did. Yours was just a 6.1." I just LOL'd

Did you not read what I said you dumb ****** ****. I said I dont bother racing new 392 owners who look like rookies because I want a clean race. Obviously I know they are rookies by how they are driving the car. You dumb bitch this thread isnt about my car that is still faster then your shitty mach 1 on 22's. Want me to go smoke another one on video for you. **** out of here. You trap 108 and you think you can beat me LOL. Let me know when you get a real car bitch and stop driving your girlfriends.

edit how come your bitch *** hasnt posted in our thread dedicated to you yet?

the 6.4 just went 12.0@115 stock with DR's. I have driven them plenty of times they are impressive and im a 6.1 owner. Down low they will kill 6.1, up top they feel about the same.
