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)
other sources say the chally r/t weighs 4041lbs. from what i gather on the net from the owners of the vehicle the SRT8 is at about 4150ish and the R/T weighs 80-100lbs less than those.

heres a dyno sheet from an LS2 owner, roughly the same power as R/T
