well yea i know its a heavier car but those arent the stats that have been released for the camaro... like i said i was hoping they would be better but we will see..
only thing that makes me doubt that good of 1/4 mile times are the fact that the GT500's run from 12.5 to 12.8 and its a faster car, more power/lighter.
maybe the challeneger is geared diff? i donno. dnt know what gear ratio it has compared to the camaro.

and where did u get those stats? 12.9-13.0 SRT? from what reviews ive seen they have been mid-low 13's around 13.3 (per motor trend/car and driver etc.) close to what the camaro has been said to run.

reviews....exactly...dont trust magazines


there are timeslips on the challenger forums of stock RTs doing 13.1

the srt8 does it in 13flat with an auto......4.7 0-60 with an auto

the SS is lighter it will do high 12s

gt500s do 12.5-12.6 stock because of power advantage to the ss not weight advantage which will be on the SS' side

i dont trust time slips either, you donno if the car was modded plus ppl LOVE to talk Sh*t... its different if you know its a stock car and know for a fact what it ran. in addition i know the reviews are not always correct either, condtions change, drivers, etc. i wish some of the ppl that are lucky enough to get thier car early wld take em to the track and get us some true times.

Ok... ill will concede that the Camaro has a better power to weight advantage....


however, i submit when the GTO took on an STI. Keep in mind two things... the New 370z beats the STI in every performance category you could come up with, and the GTO has a better power to weight ratio than the Camaro.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
