if you own a cobalt don't be surprised if your rod drops into the oil pan the lsj motor is not strong enough. yeah by the way i cant believe the hemi block is still cast iron. aluminum is just as strong if you buil it right. Cars need to be built by the engineers and not by some business guys in suits that don't know jack about how to build cars. I love my imports but domestics are going in the right direction and will be more than a car that just goes in a straight line real fast
@PAOHMONGYANG LEARN SOME DAMN ENGLISH before you come in here and try to talk shit about a car that any person in their right mind would take over your p.o.s. civic (except for gooks like you).
@PAOHMONGYANG This car wouldn't think twice about eating you're little civic and shitting it out the other end. You may be the only person on earth that would take a civic over a challenger. Mabey that's why you never get laid.
@pacesouth they're not six speeds because they only came in auto's in 08 when the video was uploaded, @midnightNsavannah i have an 09 and the ss cobalt may be just as fast but doesnt look, sound, or have a bigger engine than mine, stock. I just had the supercharger put in and it added a good 120 hp
Fast,slow, too heavy? I don't care what anybody says. The Challenger is the hottest looking car on the road. Throw in a 1970s era Challenger. It's the baddest thing on the road!! In my humble opinion.!?
To the guy saying the new hemi motors are far superior then the old ones. Some odd reason I doubt you have even seen one in person much less drive a true classic hemi car. I have 3 real 392 hemi motors that will blow the new ones out of the water. When they came back out with the new hemi what a waste I mean seriously. The new challenger was the first car they have put that I personally think that should actually have a hemi in it. Since the orginals.
considering your 392s get about 7 MPG your throwin 5x the fuel the new fuel injected motors are. they do well for a 4100 pound car and still manage 20-22MPG. 420HP...
My no option Challenger R/T auto weighs 3920 lbs. That's lighter than the Camaro. It runs 13.1@106 mph bone stock. With a better air filter, it runs 12.8 @ 108 mph. So much for all the myths. I've beaten Shelbys at the track. Haven't raced a Camaro yet. I bet I will beat it too. There's nothing quite like a Hemi.
Have you actually had your car weighed? The R/T and SRT8 Challengers weigh the same, doesn't matter if it's the 5.7L or 6.1L engine. And if you run 13.1 with nothing but an air filter, then lets see some kind of proof, cuz I gaurantee that you're full of it. I have an '04 GTO M6 with no real mods that won't run 13.1, but I easily walk on the Challenger and Charger R/T 5.7L cars. To say the least, I was even more disappointed by the performance of these cars after seeing it first hand...
Idk where you think any difference in the weight would come from. Considering both cars use Iron block engines that are are of nearly identical weights. The only real differences in the cars that could produce and difference in the weight would be the Brembo brakes on the SRT. The tuning of the SRT's suspension isn't going to affect weight. And considering they both use the same transmissions, there's no difference in weight there. So tell me where any difference would come from.
The 6.1 Engine weighs more than the 5.7. The SRT-8 has 20Inch alloy wheels as opposed to 18Inch. Both use totally different suspension. Transmissions are totally different. Just because they are both 5 speeds doesn't mean they are the same. The R/T uses the 545RFE and the SRT-8 uses A580. The one in the SRT-8 weighs more. The SRT-8 weighs more. Not by much but still. Plain and Simple.
It has huge heads and hemi combustion chambers, splayed valves on both sides of the head, dual rocker arms, big ports and sparkplugs in the middle through the valve covers. If that ain't a hemi, then what is it? The only difference is that the new hemi has a higher comression than the old one. The new hemi cars are much faster than the originals too.
New heads need to tumble better.These active chambers usually look like kidney beans or two merged small 'hemi' areas surrounded by flat quenching areas over the pistons. By the end of the 1970s, development of engines utilizing true hemispherical chambers had ceased around the world; it has been supplanted and dramatically improved upon by newer designs. Today, "hemi" is little more than a trademark that bears little meaning, descriptively, for the engines designated as such.
Fast for a muscle car? What planet do you live on? probably 70 or 80% of the cars that run under 10 in the 1/4 are american V8s, lmao.
What other cars are faster, stock? Every car I can think of, in the Challengers price range, is within half a second of it. Some slower, some faster. I think the Challenger is a good balance of design, performance, luxury and price. Now im cheap, but maybe in 10 years ill buy one.
No ones saying its the fastest car out there, but calling it slow is just ignorant.
The horsepower figures for the Challenger R/T are highly under rated at the factory. Tests show it really makes at least 450 H.P. Obviously there's nothing better than an engine with hemi heads on it. Mine is stock BTW. It's running 12's because I learned how to launch it.
It's called Hemi for marketing, it's reminds me of a human head instead of a hemisphere. You know how the top of the head is wide and it narrows near the chin? Like that. Look it up on Wikipedia, you'll see what I mean.
Got new news for you. Today I went to the track. My Challenger R/T is now running 12.8 @ 108 on the stock tires. I also raced the new supercharged Shelby and blew it away.
Nothing beats a Hemi. They banned them in Nascar because they outran everything. All the top fuelers are hemis. The Challenger runs the same speed as the Camaro even though it is much heavier. That should tell you where the power is.
My stock Hemi Challenger is now running 13.00 @107mph. Way more horsepower than a Camaro or Mustang because those two don't have hemi heads. Camaros and Mustangs are little pony cars for girlies. They have to build them small and light to get any speed out of them cause they can't get any power out of the weak, shrouded heads. If you're a man, you join the Dodge Boys for some serious Hemi muscle.
you're a fucking moron, you just listed two more sc versions of the stang, and you're quite wrong, my boy's SRT8 JEEEEEEEP smoked a steeda already and a roush couldn't even beat a fucking r/t dakota the other day, so cram the down you ford dick loving throat. mustangs are for boy lovers like you.
LOl... aww did I piss off a little kid who's in love with the Challenger? Lol dumbass Dodge fans...You should know Obama bought Chrysler out. Shelby is made by Ford, the ROush is a custom mustang, same with the Steeda. So prove it. And no a Dakota didnt beat a Roush and no a piece of shit Jeep didnt beat a Steeda. And boy? Ya thats why Ford is the top sellar of the best truck and the best Muscle/Coupe car right? The new Challenger is nice but is overrated. Prove to me that a jeep beat a steeda
the Challenger is more of a cruise car. It's a boat, and heavey as fuck. Hopefully if they keep making them in the next couple years they will trim some of the weight.
it's a sexy car, got plenty of power. With some mods they could get into 12s
I was driving my 68 nova today, came up on a new RT hemi challenger, he wouldent even look at my car, I wondered how fast they are, now I know.....not fast at all
why are 2 srt8s racing against each other... this drag race has more to do with the skills of the drivers than the cars... for god's sake, both are identical cars!!
LOL I find the guy who said that Mustang doesnt have a name badge but everyone knows what it is ..it says mustang across the back bumper and if it is a GT says GT
Oh yea mustangs lol come on there not in srt level sorry...did i mention my charger with basic bolt ons like knn,diablo,cats gutted out and borla mufflers im hitting 12.6 @112mph in 60degree weather!!!!
dont know what the hell is wrong with those 2 cars probably the drivers cause i own a 06srt8charger and right out of the box i ran a best of 13.4 1/4@106mph in 85 degree weather consitant.....
Still cant beat Ford marketing on the MUSTANG only car in the world that does not have a name badge on the outside of the car however everyone in the world knows what it is....
Someone messed up BIGTIME in the weight and gearing departments. The car should weight 600 pounds less, should come with optional gear ratios as deep as 4.88's and a 5 speed close ratio. Oh an an optional 15 inch wheels and drag radials package.
This car is for the the person that loves a Mopar product, but seriously my little 2000 T/A 6spd LS1 with 140,000, original miles on it with simple bolt on usuals literally embarrised a brand new one..but I can understand why a mopar lover would buy one, its history revisited..
The new Camaro's and Challenger's are great cars and will be neck and neck for the next couple of years (fuck Mustangs).
As far as which car will be faster, I'm gonna go with the Camaro SS at this point because it has a better power/weight ratio than the SRT8, however we still need to see the official times on the Camaro.
The Challenger looks more like the original Challenger. The Camaro has more of a refined, modern muscle car look.
Before anyone starts talking shit, try putting a set of good gears and a 3500 stall in the Challenger,THEN lets see what happens. ALOT of other cars, even with gears and stall still will not be able to turn the times the Challenger can.
Too slow. Heavy turd. I love the look but why can't they get them lighter like the Mustang?? Even the Camaro is a little lighter. We don't need 10 air bags and 20 inch "Foose Rims". Give us a base car(not the six cylinder) The dealers are charging $10,000 over the sticker price?? For what. 'Cause the union doesn't want the workers to pay for any health benefits or anything?? No wonder they said yesterday Chrysler is shutting down for a month; they'll be the first to go.
Don't believe me? Google "challenger SRT8 0-60 1/4 mile times" and see about 12 different pages.
Besides,on street level, you can lose up to 1 second in reaction time (maybe more). So before we start arguing about TENTHS of seconds, let's think about how long .5 seconds is!
True, this car is heavy, but that also bring balance and stability. On paper this car isn't the greatest, but overall it's beautiful.
Well, the R/T Challenger is rated at 5.5 or less for 0 to 60, depending on who you ask.
If your talking drag racing, a half second is huge.
I think I'll wait for real specs on a production camaro before I take any of your other claims seriously. Sorry, a "90% complete" anything isn't the final product.
I'm a seeing is believing kind a guy, so in 2010, I'll be wathing.
The thing you have to remember about this car is that it's base doff the car theya re callign a charger. (you know huge and has four doors, and most 66-74 charger owners would never own/drive one)
Thus it weighs two tons, literally. While they captured the look of the old car, when they are side by side, it's obvious how much more bulky the new one is. So,the fact that it can run 13's or high 12's stock is pretty decent for it's size.
i absolutely hate dodge but the new challengers are beautiful and they are the best muscle car made in a long time and it was sad how dodge turned the charger into a family car.
wow some of u guys just sound ridiculous....the srt 8 challengers do the 1/4 in 13.1 secs stock thats amazing and they have 420 lb-ft. of torque thats unheard of and its the nicest looking car these days for that price which isnt that bad cuz its worth it.overall it its better than the mustang and camaro(which is weird looking and looks nothing like the old camaro).so u can knock it all u want but u sound stupid and are just jealous cuz u dont got one
I've driven a new challenger SRT8 automatic(top of the line) and they are not impressive. They are very heavy. I think stick would help a little but these cars are going to need some help. My GN would kill one in the 1/4 and I don't have a lot of work done to my car.
Sorry, but there are only three engine options in the U.S.A. for Challengers, and there aren't any that are as cheap as $20,000.00. The cheapest v-8 challenger starts at $30,545.00 and the v-6 starts at $22,545.00. Without knowing what engine, tranny, and tires they were running, or the experience level of the drivers, I can't make an accurate judgement on this video other than that both drivers seem to kinda suck (unless they have v-6's, then they kick ass!)
That's interesting seeing as how I haven't seen any articles about ANY production camaro's being test driven yet. I don't know if they have even announced the official pricing.
even Chevrolet says that the V6 is going to be slower than the RT so don't come around here with that bullshit. And ye,s the SS is going to be faster, but at the end of the day, it still looks like shit and itis still just a Chevrolet.
0-60 is not the same, the dodge RT is at least a half a second faster to 60 mph, and that is a lot in a race. There is NO car that rapes the Challenger in looks. GM couldn't build a good looking car even if Chrysler helped them out.
Chevrolet and resale value? those words don't even go together. besides the Corvette, Chevrolet muscle cars are worth far less then Chrysler ones.
You might check some of the classic car auctions and see what Hemi Cudas and Challengers are selling for. A Hemi Cuda recently sold for 2.2 million in Scottsdale.
And it was a factory car not a dealer modified car like the Yenko.
I think the new Camaro will be an awesome car (it should be with today's technology) But I can tell you this for sure, I have had the privilege of driving the SRT8 for a week and it is an great car.
just like YZ250vet says, Even Yenko camaros, and LS6 Chevelles have nothing on Hemi cuda's or Charger Daytonaswhen it comes to value. The only ones that even come close in comparison are the big block vettes.
And for the record, it is a .5 second difference 0-60 straight out of GM's mouth. Don't tell me that the crapmaro is more appealing to more people cause the Challenger sold out in 08, and are still commanding a premium in the market where companies are offering huge rebates.
Nice smoke show.... slow ass cars. 1998 LS1 Trans Am bone stock with 100k miles runs a quicker quarter than brand new SRT8's.

comedyguy1262549 2 years ago
the Challenger is more of a cruise car. It's a boat, and heavey as fuck. Hopefully if they keep making them in the next couple years they will trim some of the weight.
it's a sexy car, got plenty of power. With some mods they could get into 12s

The new Camaro's and Challenger's are great cars and will be neck and neck for the next couple of years (fuck Mustangs).
As far as which car will be faster, I'm gonna go with the Camaro SS at this point because it has a better power/weight ratio than the SRT8, however we still need to see the official times on the Camaro.
The Challenger looks more like the original Challenger. The Camaro has more of a refined, modern muscle car look.

Before anyone starts talking shit, try putting a set of good gears and a 3500 stall in the Challenger,THEN lets see what happens. ALOT of other cars, even with gears and stall still will not be able to turn the times the Challenger can.

Too slow. Heavy turd. I love the look but why can't they get them lighter like the Mustang?? Even the Camaro is a little lighter. We don't need 10 air bags and 20 inch "Foose Rims". Give us a base car(not the six cylinder) The dealers are charging $10,000 over the sticker price?? For what. 'Cause the union doesn't want the workers to pay for any health benefits or anything?? No wonder they said yesterday Chrysler is shutting down for a month; they'll be the first to go.

Dawwmm The new challenger sucks =/

50908 3 years ago
Let's try using numbers:
1/4 mile approx. low 13's
0-60 approx. high 4's to low 5's
Don't believe me? Google "challenger SRT8 0-60 1/4 mile times" and see about 12 different pages.
Besides,on street level, you can lose up to 1 second in reaction time (maybe more). So before we start arguing about TENTHS of seconds, let's think about how long .5 seconds is!
True, this car is heavy, but that also bring balance and stability. On paper this car isn't the greatest, but overall it's beautiful.
samueldlt 3 years ago

tennthomas 3 years ago
Well, the R/T Challenger is rated at 5.5 or less for 0 to 60, depending on who you ask.
If your talking drag racing, a half second is huge.
I think I'll wait for real specs on a production camaro before I take any of your other claims seriously. Sorry, a "90% complete" anything isn't the final product.
I'm a seeing is believing kind a guy, so in 2010, I'll be wathing.
uh60l 3 years ago
The thing you have to remember about this car is that it's base doff the car theya re callign a charger. (you know huge and has four doors, and most 66-74 charger owners would never own/drive one)
Thus it weighs two tons, literally. While they captured the look of the old car, when they are side by side, it's obvious how much more bulky the new one is. So,the fact that it can run 13's or high 12's stock is pretty decent for it's size.
My previous comment was meant for
gdcod3player.
uh60l 3 years ago
it wont run low 13's or high 12s trust me...
the power to weight ratio isnt good enough
second
yes the have announced the official pricing for the new camaro
third they tested the 90% done v6
it did 0-60 in 6 seconds
gdcod3player 3 years ago
0-60 in 4.2sec 1/4 mile in low 13.. i own on so i know

sorry to inform you but it wont even come close unless its modded
the reg corvette barely does that and it weights alot less and has more power

I've driven a new challenger SRT8 automatic(top of the line) and they are not impressive. They are very heavy. I think stick would help a little but these cars are going to need some help. My GN would kill one in the 1/4 and I don't have a lot of work done to my car.
BlackoutDrunk 3 years ago
Sorry, but there are only three engine options in the U.S.A. for Challengers, and there aren't any that are as cheap as $20,000.00. The cheapest v-8 challenger starts at $30,545.00 and the v-6 starts at $22,545.00. Without knowing what engine, tranny, and tires they were running, or the experience level of the drivers, I can't make an accurate judgement on this video other than that both drivers seem to kinda suck (unless they have v-6's, then they kick ass!)

even Chevrolet says that the V6 is going to be slower than the RT so don't come around here with that bullshit. And ye,s the SS is going to be faster, but at the end of the day, it still looks like shit and itis still just a Chevrolet.
bigassfordsd 3 years ago
to sixty its about the same but not the quarter
the camaro rapes the challenger in looks, performance, quality, and resale value at the end of the day
chevrolet>ford>dodge
gdcod3player 3 years ago
0-60 is not the same, the dodge RT is at least a half a second faster to 60 mph, and that is a lot in a race. There is NO car that rapes the Challenger in looks. GM couldn't build a good looking car even if Chrysler helped them out.
Chevrolet and resale value? those words don't even go together. besides the Corvette, Chevrolet muscle cars are worth far less then Chrysler ones.
bigassfordsd 3 years ago
lol dont u wish for all of those statements
First of all its only .2 seconds faster. The camaro is far more sexy and appeling to more people so far than the challenger
second resale value LOL
Just think of all those 69 camaros and yenkos that sold
yea...
the only reason dodge sells their old cars for half the price of chevrolet old cars is because they didnt sell very many
because they are crap and still are...
always will be
worth far less in what way?
they are more sleek and perform better
gdcod3player 3 years ago
You might check some of the classic car auctions and see what Hemi Cudas and Challengers are selling for. A Hemi Cuda recently sold for 2.2 million in Scottsdale.
And it was a factory car not a dealer modified car like the Yenko.
I think the new Camaro will be an awesome car (it should be with today's technology) But I can tell you this for sure, I have had the privilege of driving the SRT8 for a week and it is an great car.
I suspect the Camaro will be very comparable.
yz250vet 3 years ago
ive ridden in the srt8 300 (same car)
and it does have quite a bit of power
but weights alot
the 6.2 in the camaro makes 436 horse
same engine as vette
the ss will smoke the srt8
and the lt will somewhat keep up with the r/t
gdcod3player 3 years ago
just like YZ250vet says, Even Yenko camaros, and LS6 Chevelles have nothing on Hemi cuda's or Charger Daytonaswhen it comes to value. The only ones that even come close in comparison are the big block vettes.
And for the record, it is a .5 second difference 0-60 straight out of GM's mouth. Don't tell me that the crapmaro is more appealing to more people cause the Challenger sold out in 08, and are still commanding a premium in the market where companies are offering huge rebates.
