well I do not often get into these what will beat what ,but this time I have to .I dont care what car and driver or really any thing else says I walked a charger 2 times from a dig he pulled on me but by 3rd he was all mine and from a roll that car stood no chance. this is what I found as far as specs go for the rt


0 - 30 (sec): 2.6
0 - 45 (sec): 4.1
0 - 60 (sec): 6.2
0 - 75 (sec): 8.7
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 14.32@98.63
30 - 0 (ft): 30.02
60 - 0 (ft): 121.06
Braking Rating (Excellent, Good, Average, Poor or Very Poor): Excellent
Slalom (mph): 61.8
Skid Pad Lateral acceleration (g): 38.9
Handling Rating (Excellent, Good, Average, Poor or Very Poor): Good
Db @ Idle: 50.0
Db @ Full Throttle: 77.6
Db @ 70 mph Cruise: 72.1
Acceleration Comments: We achieved our best time in the Charger by turning the ESP (stability control) off, then utilizing a "street start" (flooring the accelerator at launch rather than power braking it). The Hemi V8 provides a broad, even powerband with strong pull from idle through redline. The transmission upshifts at 5,500rpm, even though the redline is marked at 5,750rpm. Manually shifting does not net a faster time, as the trans still shifts when it wants to at 5,500rpm.
Handling Comments: This is a big heavy car that needs plenty of advance action and turn-in to get throught the slalom. Steering feel and weighting are both excellent for such a large family sedan, but a high dash and narrow windows make it hard to place.
Braking Comments: The R/T has big disc brakes, and they bring the 4,000 pound sedan to a halt in a hurry. Pedal feel is progressive and firm with minimal ABS vibration. Front end dive is hardly noticeable, and the car exhibited no fade whatsoever. Overall the Charger felt capable and confident.

lol...after reading this i remembered that one commerical dodge had about one of their SUV's...when the little boy says hemi!!!hahahaha

haha yea i remember that

Onyxd04Redline

Friend's hemi charger with 800 miles ran a 13.8@102 bone stock in 80 degree heat.

Super_SS

see that trap speed and the car and driver trap speed is what a s2 cobalt traps..very very few ppl on here trap 103+ with just a s2

Onyxd04Redline

It all really depends on the car. You can weigh the charger down so much with options. Dodge should have made a stripped down version of the R/T with cloth

Supercharged06

you guys are makeing them out to be way tougher then they really are my friend has a 5.7 300c
and when i just had a cai, and he had a chip and cai i could hang with him from a roll.
scince then he got an exhuast. and i got a custom tune and a header/dp. from a stop i need to be perfect to beat him. but from a roll i walk all over him. i think stock for stock it could be a close race

J 1 Avs

i dont think you'll win...it would be kinda of close..but without stage 2 i wouldnt go out trying to big dog him...

on a side note...my cars stage 2 and i pulled on an e46 M3 last nite...but then had an early shift but i caught back up....this seem weird ( sorry not trying to hijack)

let me tell u the secret to beat him lol! let him idle for about 10min before u race him those car when they get hot they get slower one of mine friends have one of those the daytona edition, when the car is cold is fast when hot is not! this is only if he has the stock thermostat!

WhiteSSBalt

It would take him especially from a roll. V8s have horrible traction issues from a stop typically, but from a roll, most V8 powered cars are nasty.

skymynx

idk what kind of V8s youve driven but my old 77 c-10 had no problem hooking with a 383 400whp in it. i think our ss/sc suck at getting traction more so then the V8s

I may just race him how I am now for ***** and giggles. I personally think it will be a close race. When you factor in how heavy a charger is compared to a cobalt, it will be close.

teh_punk

well that is to be expected with an LS. SS/SC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LS/LT.

Co|3aLt $$

^^^ he has the 2.4 (which btw... is >>>>>>> ss/sc )

oh ya... and ss/sc all the way. kid sounds like a turb-bag so I know how ya feel, but I would be careful those chargers are preeeetty powerful...though the numbers aren't what i'd thought they'd be. I'd go with the s2/3 plan like everyone is sayin.

teh_punk

1. i was talking about the guy in the LS that said he got walked by a charger from a 60 roll.. and if you didnt know, LS = 2.2

2. if you were referring to the guy that started the thread, he has the SS/SC.

3. and if you were talking about me, i have the 2.2 as well. that is all.

Co|3aLt $$

you know what, I thought you quoted someone else either way, I was just tryin to get a laugh outta ya

teh_punk

i just wasnt sure who you were talking about so i figured i'd cover all my bases.. heh

This was the first stupid question/mistake you made:

And this was the first correct answer:
Racing is for the track. If you think different then you don't even belong behind the wheel of a car. Nobody wins a streetrace. The only thing accomplished is showing how stupid you are.

Misunderstanding drama ftw

Amen. Ill admit, I was guilty in the past for street racing (mainly back in high school). But I stopped doing it a while back just b/c it was time to grow up and stop putting myself and others at risk. Recently, I had a friend on another forum die in a street racing accident on a major highway (racing his EVO vs a 3 series BMW). That too was a HUGE reality check.

i remember last race i had with a charger from 40 i punch it and started to wave by to him before second gear was over.

BLACK2007LS

take him on a road course lol....you would out handle him haha

stage2

charger FTW

get a Stage 2 on and you will be ok

Onyxd04Redline

You've never driven a V8 have you? I can pull 1.9 60ft's on street tires with my V8's.

vtecduster

I raced one from a stop, he got a head start because I didn't know we were really going to do it (dude was like 50), I had a passenger, I'm a big dude, and I started to gain back ground around 40mph. We were dead even at 110. Get stage 2 and you have a chance, even if it is slight at best. No stage 2 = no win for you.

Onyxd04Redline

Which means you lost the race through the quarter mile and only caught him at 110mph. I hate when people make excuses on why "Ohh i'm fat and my passenger is fat so that's why we lost". You lost. Deal with it.
