Default AP1 vs. SRT8 Challenger

Driving home from a golf tournament about a week ago, two guys in a brand new Dodge Challenger SRT8 pull up beside me and start yelling, lets see what it will do. I just ignored them for a while and then when the traffic cleared a bit, dropped into 5th, then 4th... pulled about 3 car lengths and then settled back into my normal 75... They never came back up beside me for about 15 miles.

Yeah, it was pretty easy. My buddy just bought a Grand Sport Vette, and I am pretty sure I can kill him as well...but he spent $73K...and I hate to bust his bubble...

Also, I pulled on an SRT8 challenger with a sticker on the back that said 'American Muscle' with just full bolt ons and 4.77s. They run like high 13s to low 14s in the quarter.

Good kill either way though

srt8 challengers do not run low 14's in the 1/4 mile. an r/t challenger cuts a 14.0-14.2 in the 1/4 and it only has 345 horsepower.

The srt8 runs low to mid 13's.

The NEW srt8 challenger runs mid to high 12's.
