Challenger SRT8 6.4L vs. wife's Pontiac G8 Finally got a chance to see how the wife's grocery getter would do against the new 392 Hemi powerplant. Been curious how the matchup would go down. Wish the runs woulda been a bit cleaner, but apparently the 4th gear synchronizers on a brand new car have already gone weak...

Good runs. Challenger needs to shift higher in the RPMs. I don't believe the hype of the new 392 6.4l. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad but it doesn't make the power that the Gen III 6.1l based 392 did. But people wanted the MDS for fuel efficiency over the power of running all 8 cylinders all the time. Who buys a V8 performance car then whines about fuel efficiency. Dumb asses. RekjavicXXX do you have any dyno numbers/track times for your car. Are you tuned with those mods. I didn't catch it if it said.

Good races!
I agree 100%. Every complaint I have with my G8 stems from GM trying to improve fuel efficiency. DOD = small cam = 40 less hp that an LS2 and the factory 2.92's are terrible.
On a side note, a lot of people are quick to shout "driver mod" in races when it has been made clear that there was a problem with the transmission. These people must never have driven a car when the transmission was on it's way out or one that had clutch issues.
