they are not too far apart. Now stick an auto in the GTO and youre in trouble. Its less efficient and only has 3 speeds plus an overdrive.....

Bigger weight difference than I thought when I looked it up, but not so much of a difference in power... these figures may not be entirely accurate but they are close.
The Pontiac GTO has a curb weight of 3725 lbs.

Auto to Auto=Challenger R/T(Challenger will get the jump, but may be closer at higher speeds, but the Challenger does have gearing advantage)
Manual to Manual=GTO (GTO will get the jump because of lighter weight, but I'm going to guess at higher speeds it won't pull away because the two basically make the same power, the Challenger will stay within a few car lengths and that will be that)
RANDOM Sidenote: The Camaro's HID projector xenons FLICKER LIKE NO OTHER !!! I was going down the road and I thought the Camaro was flashing his brights(do they have xenon brights ?) ! Kind of like a Maserati Gran Turismo's xenons that I saw the other day...
