  • Just to heavy

  • @Residalz28

    if you bothered to watch the video they were lighting the tires up in 2nd....not to mention it was in the middle of summer when they ran the test. for the car to run mid 12s is impressive in those conditions

  • i'm italian and i live in modena ,where ferrari are made . but i hope you can continue to produce muscle cars because i think its importante be different each other. but you have to find alternative fuels (alcohol) 'because you can not and do not have continued to make war for petrol. i love usa cars. ferrari now have too electronic . italy made the strongest car ever in the past. watch for example LANCIA DELTA S4 with blower end turbo. this is true italian race style. i

  • where can i get one?

  • Im Not Impressed. My opinion:p

  • Might as well stop beating that thing and report back to mopar: IT NEEDS WIDER TIRES lol

  • Rob, you need the driver mod. My BONE STOCK 392 challenger runs 12.5 on street tires.

  • BLACK AND YELLOW DAT CAR.

  • BRING BACK THE ROADRUNNER!

  • i want the ROADRUNNER BACK!!

  • Nothing like the old ones but heading the right direction

  • Yeah how about you shed 1000 pounds off of it. I've seen head and cam only 4th gen camaros run 10s

  • Dodge does need to drop some weight off the challenger, Chevy needs to do the same with the camaro. The mustang is still a bit to heavy as well, but alot lighter then the others. If Chevy and Dodge drop some weight from their cars they'd get better MPGs as well, which would make the tree huggers happier to. A win/ win situation.

  • Very nice! It diffidently needs some wheel hop control!

  • 1 cars heavy 2 thoes ppl couldnt launch or shift worth shit

  • Dear Mopar,

    We have missed you dearly over the years. At first we thought there was a glimpse of hope since you all decicded to bring back the challenger, and then we were slightly disappointed with the 6.1 "hemi". But now, what with the 392 and now a 426 hemi, well you just won this guys heart back again. I almost cried.

    Sincerely,

    A happy driver

  • @cbcrog sure don't like the truck towing it though haha

  • why is the back bumper black instead of yellow?

  • @rebelracer77 So when you haul ass away you disappear into the darkness at night.

  • nice car like it ...I like mopar but I have seen slantsix that was faster so hmm..

  • Very nice looking car , but I was expecting more - my 5.0 ran 12.6 trapping 117 ! on stock tires . with dr's I'm in the 11's ...the Dodge , its just too heavy .

  • I was hoping for more out of a stripped down car that costs a forture. I would put my damn radio back in .

  • wish the challenger weighed about 1,000 lbs less....

  • I love all muscle cars but lean toward Ford the most, the reason being there cars have traditionally weighed less of the big three. When I found out about this beast I had hope, they claim its the "Street Legal version of the Drag Pack". But in the Drag Pack they dropped 1,000lbs. In the 1320 they just drop 200lbs?

  • DETROIT MUSCLE we are bringing it back

  • @eatyo Thanks to the Italians for making it happen too!

  • I dont get it. Special purpose built 550 hp Hemi runs high 12's and traps 113?

    Your dyno needs a tune up guys

  • @2stroketurbo the thing does weigh over 2 tons.

  • i would agree with reid it isnt hooking and with better reaction times the car would be 10x better. idk why they did a independant rear end i would thing the solid rear end would be better imo. but who knows. but if you could get a better driver in there and it to hook would shave a lot of time off that clock

  • @bigcwall54 Factory Challengers have an IRS but i agree if its a strip car why not just put a solid axle rear end in it

  • True Muscle

  • blows the tires off through 1st and 2nd @ 3:32 and still runs a 12.79 is most impressive for a 4000 lb car. looks like mopar needs to address some suspension issues to get this thing to hook.

  • @reidcagle it looks like he broke the tires loose in 3rd as well

  • really nice car!!! but with slicks and skinnies in the front and no offence better reactions this car would fly

  • Seems it was'nt hooking up all that well,but anything that well boil the tires with that kind of weight is Impressive..Keep us posted,great video~Thanks!!! oh! and Can I have your job for just one day?

  • wow the suspensions doesn't look like it's doing as much as it really is. who makes that trailer?? any one know... i don't have sound, amp is fried

  • @TrackingPerformance

    Howdy, the trailer is a JIMGLO 19' tilt trailer and is awesome. Go to jimglo.com.

  • @autoedit

    thanks buddy, yeah it's awsome

  • this car is fucken hot hot hot for a dodge =] ford allll the way baby hehe

    challenger and chargers are only dodge cars ill mess with =]

  • Cool, would be awsome wirh a procharger.

  • A bone stock 5.0 'stang would run with this 1320 Challenger! Too bad they are so heavy. Definately a cool car though.

  • @50tbrd88 Dont believe everything u hear from motor trend..

  • @217zenki

    There are several vids on youtube of new 5.0's running similar times.

  • @50tbrd88 And there are several where it consistently runs less. Like low 13's

  • @217zenki

    I agree, but you have to admit its pretty impressive that an "off the showroom floor" GT Mustang can basically run with this purpose built "special" Mopar with air lockers and 500+hp. I think it should send a message to Mopar to lighten the car if they ever do a redesign.

  • @50tbrd88 I cant argue the weight issue lol.. Yes its a pig.. but 12.5's to 13.2-13.5 is a big difference . In a race thats not really that close at all in action. BUT I agree its still to close for what it is... I really think this car has alot more in it.. Ive seen consistent mid 13.5 - 13.7 out of the 5.7 stock I own one. 50hp more with the srt8 runs consistent 13.2 - 13 flat and thats at around 425hp Im finding it hard to swallow 75hpish here is only breaking half a sec shouldbe like3qtr sec

  • @50tbrd88 A new 5.0 certainly would give it a run for its money, though it's not really fair to compare 1/4 mile times unless you know for sure that each car ran in the same atmospheric conditions.

    (Nevertheless, I'd take a standard 5.0 too and pick up a set of drag radials.)
