I don't worry about most Challys but I do respect the 392.

Umm... yes....

That's why I said it must have been me out there.

You forgot to mention that while the 13.3 is slow for a 5.0, 13.2 is atrocious for the 392.

x2. Traps were very low as well, exactly 6mph lower for both. Wonder what the DA is where they're at.

Yep, got to know this info before I call em slow.

Run in Vegas, and you'll feel very slow.

These 4300lb+ Challys were not meant for manuals. Fun to drive but terrible to launch. The auto cars are much better with a 3.59 low gear 5spd but you loose the fun factor of the 6spd.
