Default B4C vs. Charger/RT

today coming back from best buy a black charger/rt starts messin with me,
walked him two times from a 50mph roll. i was mildy suprised how fast those cars are. it looks like it would be a pig out of the hole though, they are some big cars. although i do not know what one wieghs. the last time i looked the hemis did not have too good of after market support. i'm thinking a bolt on
srt8 charger would hand me my ***.

good kills, and yes with your mods i would say a stock srt8 would be a good race. a bolt on one would have the adv.

i just got back from the modern hemi section. those guys are still singing the blues about the lack of aftermarket support.

it gets worse, no decent mods for the upcoming challenger.
those engines have little cams, how about some breathing parts and some tuning software options. that car has the potenional to be a ****
from what i read over there i could likely get a srt8 from a dig w\255-50-16s
although i have to think there are more active dodge forums than that. it' pretty dead over there.

They weigh about 4100lbs. I think after the Challenger comes out the aftermarket will take off on these cars.

I agree that the challenger will help the aftermarket for the new hemi cars. The Chargers are dogs out of the hole. BIG time. U see the front lift and the car goes nowhere. They aren't as slow as they look though. Still a decent race.

Good kill, even the R/T's (5.7's) can be 14.0 and quicker! Not too bad.

Perhaps so with R/Ts. Traction is the problem with the SRT-8s. 1.9 60fts are possible on stock tires, DRs help tremendously.

chargerforums is very active and plenty of crossover from the 300C forums and lxforums.
