Default Dodge Charger R/T

I was minding my own business when a new Rustang and Charger blew by racing. It took a while for us to recover from the shock. Never before have we witnessed such awe inspiring horsepower at work. We were speechless for what seemed like hours. After regaining our composure we finally went about our way.....

A few lights later we caught up to the two immature street racers. They were waiting to turn at a light. Light goes green and before ChargerBoy knows it there is a S2000 glued to his bumper. He mistakenly tries to shake the Honda in the turn and goes WOT once his car is straight.... by then it

I see... I am making around 290-300 in my Stage 2 STi, so I guess I can take one out from a roll? since I'm 400-500 lbs lighter? I never had a chance against one before....

The R/T has a 340hp and a 350hp version of the 5.7L Hemi engine available.

The SRT8 Charger has a 6.1L 425hp Hemi.

The R/T runs the 1/4 at 14.x@101 while the SRT8 does it 13.3@108. They are all well over 4000 lbs.

So yes, a SRT8 Charger will destroy a S2K. And a R/T will be a good race for a S from a roll.
