I raced a 2006 Charger R/T yesterday, he had a performance exhaust system, on it but other than that not sure of his mods. I have stage 2 2.8" pulley, AEM and ZEX Plugs. We raced from 75mph up to 130mph. On the 3rd honk he initally pulled a 1/2 car on me, but within a matter of a second or to I went by him and by 130 mph i had about 2-3 cars on him. I am pretty sure I surprised the crap out of him becuase he was all smiles when I challenged him on the highway, like who is this ricer, does he really he will take a modded HEMI Charger!

He wasn't a sore loser and gave me a thumbs up and several honks when I turned off my exit!

Just wanted to post for an FYI

 

Nice!

 

nice

 

nice kill
is the R/T version slower then the SRT8

 

^^much slower

Nice friggen kill man

 

R/T = 340HP
SRT-8 = 425HP

 

The R/T's run 14.1-14.2 @ 101mph stock. 340-350hp. ......The SRT 8 Chargers are 425hp and run low 13's @ 107+mph. I raced a modded R/T. I was pretty confident that i would take him, with stage 2 and 2.8 we have faster 1/4 mile trap speeds

 

ok i wasnt sure i knew the SRT8s were 425hp beasts i wasnt sure if it was the same for the R/T version which also seems more classy IMO theres one at my school and its beautiful

 

Nice run and kill.
I raced a Charger R/T for my very first race when I got my SC Cobalt. He tried to run on me so I had to chase him down. I was starting to pull on him until we both came to our turn.
The funny thing is I was on my way to Best Buy and he just happens to work there so we both pull in the parking lot. He gets out and goes right in the store like he didn't see me, but not before I say, "Man, that Charger is nice, runs pretty good too!"
He says, "Thanks. Wait, was that you behind me?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "What is that your driving, that thing is fast!" All I told him was, "It's a 4 cylinder Cobalt." The look on his face was priceless! Of course this stoped him in his tracks and his reply was, "No way!!"
He looked like the guy that drove the Supra in 2Fast 2Furious!

 

SRT-8 models from a roll suck really bad. The fun part is when they hit 100 they lose top end from that 4th gear and passing them when there govenor kicks in at about 125-130 is priceless.

nice kill man

my friend thinks his girlfriends stock RT will take my stock SS/SC from a 40 roll should be a good race but I should win

 

Yep. You should win. But post if you do, and post if you don't.

 

Xcellent kill!!!!

 

awesome will do

I want to get a video I will try anyways lol Big A$$ mopar no i have lots of respect for them

 

dude!!! Very nice!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!! I have close to those mods!! (just different brands) yeah!!! one more v-8 lover bites the dust! lol jk, gota respect. that means you can run from the popo.....lol

 

I raced a charger and magnum r/t and i kept up pretty well considering i was stock and they hade intake exhaust.....when i ran the charger from a 60 roll i was at his rear quarter panel the entire time. the magnum was from the same roll speed and i had him by about the same as the charger had me so i was quite happy with my stock car that night haha

 

If I was stock I wound't have been able to take him, the mods were the reason why I won, I think the highest trap speed for a stock cobalt I seen was like 100mph but most are in the 96-98 range. They(stock Charger R/T's) trap the 1/4 at around 99-102mph. His was modded with some sort of Performance exhaust (2 5" Chrome Tips) and a very noticable V8 sound, Ya i think it surprised him. Last week I beat a stock Benz SLK350 from the smae mph up to around the same speed, I had him by about 1 or 2 car lenghs (it was close) I find that my car pulls hard on most cars I have run anywheres from 45mph and up (1st gear is usless cause of traction) and have yet to really lose any race I have tried (except a 2004 Z06, who killed me for a joke)
