has any one raced these chargers, because i have raced a few and won

 

I've seen videos of them at the track, with a STOCK SS, NON S/C, and they win....

its he srt8's that are the scary ones to be near...

luckily, most people dont wanna pay 48000 for the charger srt8

 

Here's the info on a 2006 Dodge Charger base model with the V6 engine.
Info is from cars.com

I think the fact that the Charger is a little over 400 pounds heavier, may have had something to do with it.

$48,000 Damn. Can't wait to see the price on the Challenger

Guess I'm going to wait about 7 years to get a used Challenger....then add Twin Turbo

 

yah that sounds killer, im more than happy with what i have now

 

Yah, that is a fully loaded SRT8 though, and I think that with my military discount, I was looking at 42,000 before taxes..

That was actually the first car I had lined up, but it fell through, and thats why I bought my monte from a dodge dealer, they had it layin around, and it caught my eye

it was love at first sight =)

Anyways, yah, the weight has alot to do with it, but the v6 just doesnt produce enough..

Now, the R/T V8 5.4L is the kicker... but I've still seen it get taken by a monte..

wouldn't mind have a charger r/t myself... bang for the buck, the r/t would be the best way, that SR/T 8 is just too much money, plus i've seen those R/T's run with the new mustangs... i would probably die if i had the extra 80hp? or so the SR/T 8's have.

 

The srt8 is an amazing piece of equipment...

yah, 425 hp and torque...

 

There is going to be a new srt8 enginein the 2009 Challenger that is close to 460HP
that is what a dealer told my dad though so not for sure

 

460 horse? goodness sounds like im gonna need a bigger engine
