Bingo.

Oh and if anyone has actually driven one ( I have with just minor bolt one ) they pull hard as hell up top, take their 1/4 times most pick it up on the back half , but hey anything is possible.

ima call bs on the assumption that A: it isnt supercharged or B: he wasnt WOT

04goat

Anything can happen on the street! I have raced many stock srt8 chargers and challengers as my goat sits. i have never raced a s/c one, i have races some with boltons and beat them all very bad as i know these guys that own them. it cost way much dollars to mod them or thats what they tell me.
I seen one at my shop that the guy blew up because he never tuned it after the s/c was put on.all it sounds like the srt8 driver never new what was going on or he was just flat not raceing. but either way props for the win.

yes, but you would also walk a lot of the cobalts on this site too, OP included. He should have been murdered.

oh, and get some heads

Did you go to the huge Texas Vs. Oklahoma thing last month? Saw video's it was awesome.

Seeing as a stock SRT 8 runs in the high 12s stock, im calling BS. Hell, my R/T runs 13.4 with less than 2k in boltons

Yea but a challenger is lighter by a few hundred pounds I thought, maybe not. The trap speed on a SS/TC gets close to a great number of 12 second cars. Since traction is such a pain in the ass on these front wheels drives, we run bad ETs. The highway roll is right where we want to be. I raced a supercharged mustang on a highway roll and after tires spinning til about 80mph I kept him at my back wheel (MODS:CAI, upper and lower CP, intercooler, BOV, 3 inch straight exhaust, 24 psi trifecta/HP tune). So I could see keeping up with the larger 6.2 SRT-8 in the larger car with an automatic but not pulling on it much. But I am also more modded than the OP by a little. And in these things every little bit helps. I'm putting about as much power to the ground as an SRT-8 stock.

Shibito

Those 6.2's make a lot of power with a blower. I have a friend with just a small little procharger making 500whp on his Challenger SRT8. I don't think any stock lnf will stay with a 500whp car.

RyRidesMotox

Oh I know this for sure. Thats why I'm skeptical of the kill with the OP's balt. Mine MIGHT hang just with the SRT-8 on a highway roll if it had a blower. I'm pretty sure that the procharger is the only one that will fit under the stock hood since it nice and small. Plus power to weight wise my calculations of 500whp challenger at 4140lbs curb weight vs. my balt at 350whp dynojet/310whp on the mustang dyno and 3000lbs would be: SRT-8 .12 hp/lb and I'm .11hp/lb. So as long as a fat ass isn't driving he would have me but not by much. A 300C SRT-8 weighs 4178lbs and that is the same .11hp/lb as my car. So OP has a good story but an unlikely win unless the SRT-8 had a bad tune. Hell a guy could probably get to 500whp with bolt ons and a really good tune on the SRT-8 i think 500whp on a forced induction SRT-8 is a little low, but I don't know a whole lot about how they respond to mods.

If you spin to 80 then buy better tires

RyRidesMotox

Oh yes I know... They are still the stockers. I'm going to order some BfG Geforces soon. I've always had pretty good luck with them and they are a decent balance for traction and wear rating. I need some DRs for the track. I need a new clutch as well.

blackvette101

dont know what type of blower he has but i can tell you i have a friend with a 07 charger srt8 with the vortech supercharger kit, headers, and catback but he runs the crappy ass vortech canned tune that they send with the kit. the car goes down into the low 10's/high 9's afr and has like no timing. he pulls me about 1 car right off he jump when i lag and then slowly grows about 1 more car length all the way up to like 130

yeah its way lower than that most srt8's make 400-420 whp with boltons. 450-470 whp with heads and cam. and 500 is about right for FI on 6 psi with a dyno tune. they dyno about 370 stock

drew1991sf

a s/c'd 300c srt8 is around 500rwhp and is a mid 11sec car with decent tires and can trap over 120mph, idk many cobalts able to do any of those

PRND3L

The Challenger is only 250 lbs lighter than a Charger, due to the fact the Challenger is set up like a hard top, not a sedan.

Also, its a 6.1L. Dont worry, all these stories will disappear when the 6.4 comes out in the next few months. They run 12.4 out the box

The 6.4 is a much needed upgrade.

srt-10

hate to tell you, but thats not a srt-10 viper....

PRND3L

ACRs are still SRT's

srt-10

that they are, however, no one reffers to them as a Viper SRT-10 ACR...lol. The actual "SRT-10" date started i believe in 2003 and ended 2006.

PRND3L

Huh, i guess Dodge themselves dont count.

Dodge - Compare Vehicle and Model Specifications - Highlights

They also say VIPER SRT-10 on the front fenders. Sorry bud.

srt-10

Ok my bad, i knew they took over the GTS and RT/10 but i was under the impression that the "srt-10" title was only for the gen 3 vipers, not gen 4.

PRND3L

Its okay. I work at a Dodge dealer and I am Viper and Crossfire Certified.

srt-10

i wish u lived here then. Theres only 1 person in this whole city thats viper certified. Thankfully i havent had the need for any work to be done that i cant do, on my engine. Although in the spring i need my shift kit installed and thats abit past my knowledge

cakeeater

They'll do better than that in the hands of private owners. The 5.0 has run 12.3's now and I expect the srt challengers to do a bit better. If the aftermarket steps it up for the 6.4, the srt chally's will rule the strip for a while. That is until the boss hits the street and GM ups the ante with the ls3 which I'm sure is just around the corner. This dog fight is just starting up ladies and gents and it's good for all enthusiasts.
