Since I have added a tune and replaced the rear mufflers which do nothing for performance but weigh less. I am positive with some traction it would run high 12's.

I will say Dodge really handicapped the auto. 2 1/4" exhaust, open differential, 3.06 gear, etc... Very corked up. I personally feel with LT's, 2.5/3" full exhaust, converter, 3.73 posi, cam, and lightweight wheels and tires with some good drag radials you are looking at a low 12 sec. car on just about any strip in the country...possibly high 11's.

BTW - the auto is the quicker of the R/T's just like the new 2011 Mustang GT.
