there was a black v8 one at Empire last sunday. It was running high 14’s most of the day, however a new stock 5.0 Mustang was running consistent 12.8x’s. About time ford got in the game!

> WHAT? that definitely did not happen… First race i started in a bad gear and still pulled him, the second race i started in a better gear and pulled a lot, that thing was slow…
I thought I got the first one, but yeah you pulled away the second time. That is if that event even ever actually happened at all :snky:

New Challengers arent really impressive at all. I ran one recently and pulled away easily. And from what I read its a 13.1 car on its best day.

The story is that the SRT guys put just a “tad” more R&D into the Jeep SRT-8 because it was the vehicle of choice for them personally during the winter, as an alternative to the Vipers that most of them drive over the summer. The Jeep is the 2nd fastest SRT vehicle behind the Viper.
I still think its funny that the “performance tires” on the Challenger/Charger SRT are narrower on the back BY A GOOD MARGIN than the Jeep SRT… and its fricken AWD too! If they would have just tubbed the Challenger/Charger, and put some MEAN tires back there with a good bit of gear, it would have helped the cars case as a muscle car dramatically.
