Dyno-Tested: 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8

[8cd03gro]

I guess I just don't know all that much about challengers. I have just always heard they wheel-hopped terribly and didn't have great traction, but a 1.82 60' in a stock auto car with stock tires is crazy fast for a rwd car. Damn near a 1.7x.

he autos have a better time dealing with wheel hop.

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Standing ¼-mile: 12.9 sec @ 114 mph

Now 114 MPH is just down right impressive!!!

Yeah, I think this car justifies the price, particularly since it is cheaper than the 2011 GT500 and likewise will almost certainly be cheaper than the 2012 Z28.

Also worth thinking about. If they throw this engine at the Charger we'll have a no apologies, rwd performance sedan priced meaningfully below the CTS-V as well.

I totally agree!

Hats off to this car! This is what the SRT8 should have been all along.
