I'd love to love the 67' GT500 if it wasn't so played up...

I like the Deep Water Blue better myself, but I've always loved dark blue paint on cars.

NO, Dodge only offered that for early 2010 production...so another cool color out the window.

You said it best earlier, Chrysler/Dodge does some weird shit.

Well, I went out and did some testing today. I'm sure I can do better on the 0-60 if I can get the tires to hookup in 1st gear. Don't let anyone tell you a Challenger is slow. That thing still had plenty of pull in it at the speed indicated. Of course this was performed in a controlled environment.

Zeus · 10-11-2009, 06:44 PM

141 top speed lol not bad .

Is that the best 0-60 you've put down?

Haha, yeah I ran out of room at 141 and had get out of it. I'm sure 170 would be NO problem with the way it still pulled. I let off the gas and got back in it just to see how much grunt she still had in her.

5.36 is the best I've been able to do. My past best before that was 5.72. I can't seem to get the launch down just right. Several of my friends are hitting 4.8s on their 0-60s in the same car. I guess I just can't drive.

I've only tried the 0-60 thing about 10 times total though. I figure as I get more experience with it, the time will gradually come down.

I went back and looked at some of my launch spots and found 20 - 30 foot black marks from 1st, then about a 3 foot skip in the lines, then another 20 foot or so of dashed black marks (wheel hop when grabbing 2nd).

If I could eliminate that, I'm sure 4.9 or better is easily possible. I'm running Nitto Invo 295/35s in the back to boot on 10" wheels!!! I may need to try different tire pressures.

Nice #'s Speedy.

Not too many "controlled environments" for me to try that here in N.Y.....but Im still looking.
