The best part is my brother is a Ford tech and all the guys that work in the shop had been telling me how this Challenger RT was going to put car lengths on me and I told them we will see what happens.

Honestly with those mods he has and if he is a auto. Should put him in the low 13s if not even 12s. And the SRT cars are a whole different animal and a 6.1 hemi should give you a good run. Good run though!

Its manual but his 60ft wasn't horrible 2.1 compare to my 1.9 60ft. Its just a crap shoot at that track with the prep.

I ran a 6.1 SRT and killed it. They say the 6.4's are a different animal.

Yeah you go from lows 13s to a car that can run low 12 to mid 12s if you know how to drive.

One R/T got low 12s with simple boltons and traction.(3.06 axle) Older 345hp 5.7 as well. VVT version is much stronger. Owner who knows how to strip prep and launch makes quite a difference.

SRT8s run mid 13s from what I've seen. I got called out by one and beat em... and it wasnt stock.

Thats pretty crazy. I can't see my friend's Magnum RT 5.7 going low 12s with bolt ons. He's averaging mid 14s at the moment, with a personal 1 run best of 14.3

Yeah that totally agrees with my in person observations too. No way in hell a R/T of ANY year with even absolutely full boltons/slicks is gonna run low 12's at a real track.

It's been done though it's far few and in between. A bolt on RT can for a fact run high 12s. 392s have run 12s bone stock and are in the 11s with bolt-ons. Also these are with the automatic cars not the 6spds.

I guess they meant lengths behind you! Nice pass! I ran a SRT-8 with bolt on's from a 3rd gear roll today and ran away from him like he was tied to a stump!

That list is crazy. There's guys with just nittos beating guys with prochargers and turbochargers.

Still, in my personal experience, I've seen the 6.1 mid\low 13s based on mods\boltons
And I've seen 5.7s mid 14s @ under 100 when I go.

Thats just what I've seen so far.
