Default Ran the New Charger......

Yea well I was cruisin down the interstate and a brand new Dodge Charger R/T pulls up beside me........I thought it was probably an old guy but it was a younger guy. He looks at my car and floors it without any signal. It pulled about 1 car before I put mine to the floor. I wasnt spraying it. I didnt want to. I wanted to see what mine would do against the new charger.

Well it was about what I expected. When I punched it I was at like 3000 rpm and it crept slowly because I was in 4th gear. He wasnt pulling all that hard either but he was slowly walking away from me. He pulled a good car Ill give him that but I picked up some ground around 4000rpm. I was gaining ground but it didnt look to me as if I was going to win and he didnt think so either. He let off when he got to his shift point and I was still in the powerband so I kinda did the ricer fly-by on accident.......:shifty:

Well I guess it was a respectable loss. Those cars make much more power than 99-04 GTs and I held with him pretty good. He didnt beat me bad at all. Maybe had me by 2 cars when he let off. He seemed faster than an 05 mustang. I probably would have had a better chance against him at lower speeds or from a stop. That big Hemi was just pumpin though.........

I saw a 300C SRT-8 get on it next to me one day. It seemed almost as fast if not as fast as an 03 cobra.

jeredan,
I thought i read that the Dodge Charger R/T did a 14.3, and weighed as much as a cadillac deville. You telling me you think it was faster then a 05,06 mustang? It shouldn't of beat you.
