That challenger is sick…neat to see one in person I bet. I am not impressed with the time though. 2.08 reaction time and only trapping @ 104-105 and running a 13.5. Not that is terrible but for all that HP it isn’t impressive. LS1’s with that 60’ will run that time with ease and have decently less HP. ---

Nice video and pics. 13.5 in a car that cool lookin’ is OK in my book. I don’t care if a stock LSwhatever runs better times (there are plenty of other faster and cheaper cars too). I’d still rather have that Challenger for the cool factor. ---

I don’t care if a stock LSwhatever runs better times (there are plenty of other faster and cheaper cars too). I’d still rather have that Challenger for the cool factor. There are also plenty of more expensive cars that are not as cool. I’d totally rock the Challenger. We all know it’s faster than 13.5, I watched a freaking Jeep with that engine run a 12.9 at PRP. He could lose 3 tenths just in the 60’. Just total speculation here, but I am guessing they had trouble building a driveline to handle the abuse of the 6.1 going through a manual but didn’t want to delay production any longer. My prediction is a beefier driveline for next year with the 6spd. I could be totally off, maybe they couldn’t agree on a shift knob. ---
