I'm not saying it's not possible. But could you provide a link so I can see it? I ran 12.85@108.35 DA 1872 stock while making 405WHP/410TQ and have yet to beat it and now I'm making considerably more power and can't hook at all. But it's not worth me getting sticky tires with the amount I get to the track.

A well driven Eagle 5.7 in decent weather is a mid 13sec car all day long. Period. Its not far off from a 6.1 . 6.1 guys are in denial and get butthurt by this fact but it is what it is. Ive watched a tuned Eagle make MORE low end TQ on the dyno than my RECORD HOLDING cammed 6.1.
Put a tuned,cai,dr,exhaust Eagle against a STOCK 6.1 with the same drag radial/driver and im putting my money on the Eagle. The 6.1 will likely trap a mph or two more but the RT would likely 60 foot the **** outta the 6.1 to the point where it wouldnt have enough track to catch up. Now if this were on the street and ran past the 1/4 then yes the 6.1 would come around eventually.
The fbody should take the win.

Bottom line a Eagle 5.7 with a decent driver and fair conditions is a mid 13 sec car. Great weather, low 13. Minor mods (cai,tune,tire) in fair-good conditions is a 12 sec car.

Oh when I say a 12 sec car I don't mean mid 12's. I'm talking high 12's here lol

Giving my buddy the hit in his 12 challenger rt i put roughly 3 cars on him from 40-110.. It was starting to get real ugly. I wasn't even shifting fast.
He pulls around 1 from a dig-100 on other buddies 08 2wd tbss.. Pulls it around 2 from a 30-100.
On average, they won't even consider running bottom 13s@105+, let alone 12s@108+.... Those things are dogs in stock form.
I know nothing about how they run modded.. I just know stock it is a joke.

Are there some out there that run good? Absolutely... But 95% of time, they are a huge let down.
In stock form they are barely over a 2V Gt.

Most RT Challengers I've seen have been dogs, but then again, you have to consider who the average driver of them is. It is like the 5th gen. Sure the car is CAPABLE of doing X, but somebody who doesn't know how to drive it won't do it justice
