0-60 in 4.6
1/4 mile time in 13.0 @ 111.3 mph
A boost of just 45hp and 70lbs of torque are not going to strip virtually a full second off a car in the 1/4 mile... especially a car that didn't get any lighter in the process (4260lbs).
Look, I'm not even bashing on the new Challenger, I actually am glad to see it with some real power.... but you simply arent overcoming physics with an extra 45hp...
I won't debate that this car is easily a high 12 car with the right conditions stock....but it's not posting a 12.4 in the 1/4 stock....
Here's Road and Track's version too

Yeah it is...hell one driver (SRT8Tech) got 12.3 in stock form.
You can claim BS..but its true.
