According to the company, the RDP Challenger SRT8 can hit the quarter mile in 9 seconds - a whole second faster than the Bugatti Veyron... Skip the jump to find out what a 1,000 HP Challenger sounds like.

Doesn't mean anything, veyron is built for top end, that big fat chally is designed for quarter mile. You can have one or the other, not usually both. What is amazing is the veyron can pretty much do both. At the top end class that the veyron is in, the only thing it can do is get to top end faster. Thats about it.

I'm not sure where they got their numbers but Road and Track tested the Veyron and ripped off a 9 flat 1/4 mile. And being that the Bugatti can hit 253 mph, it ain't faster in any respect.

That said I'm sure the Chally was a hell of a lot cheaper, but the Bugatti at least won't blow up in 200 miles, and is streetable. I hate how they feel the need to compare cars that shouldn't even be compared. That Challenger is pretty sweet either way, just don't claim its faster than the Veyron, nothing wrong with that.

The plates on that bad-ass Challenger should read "BOOM" ! Hope he has a diaper under the oil pan to keep from oiling the Road and Track!

This is ridiculous. I can't wait to see the high-performance options for the Camaro. I just hope that they look more reliable.

I like the looks of that Challenger, but I don't like reviews. I'd much rather have a Veyron for the top speed and prestige than a Challenger for the quarter mile.

Either way you go though you are in a very very fast car, i would take either one over the dodge, even if it is faster

True, but isnt the Veyron quicker than that car? Going by the 0-60 stats I think the veryon comes out a few tenths of a second faster in that category, or am I misinformed?

If your lawn mower has that much, remind me never to race you.
