HWY Roll with Challenger SRT8
Went to get the wife ice cream last night and on the way came up along side a Dodge Challenger SRT8. Got up along him and held steady at about 55mph and got into the gas a few times to see if I could get the guys attention. On the second rev he looked over and laughed when he saw a truck along side him and kinda blew me off. I got on it for a split second seeing if he was willing to play or just ignore me. Finally he jumped out of no where and pinned it. He had about a car length on me by the time I realized he decided to jump. I smashed the gas and with in a few seconds was even and then put about 2 car lengths on him. I let off around 110mph and he turned off on an off ramp.
I tried to see if I could find him later of which I did but he was not in the car then. It appears to be a stock car. Hopefully I can run into him again another time and chat with him and maybe do another run. I think he was surprised a truck caught up and passed him so quickly though. He looked a little confused when he looked over at me.
A few pics of the car. Not sure what I think of the green.

Not sure what they run in the 1/4 in stock form. I know he got up and went pretty good, would like another crack at him on a little longer stretch and little more even start

My guess would be low 12s in the quarter, i had a buddy with a 2012 charger srt and it went like 12.7s bone stock. So with the little extra weight taken off and it probably being a standard car, mid to low 12s.

They run to over 170 mph stock and don't take a lot of time to get there. My 06 Charger made 172 mph stock..... some guys claim 180 mph but they don't have the gear and rpm for it without a tune at least. Check out SRT videos and forums if you don't want my word.
That said that Challenger ( provided it's an automatic) is no faster than the Charger. The weight difference is negigible. High 12's if bone stock in the 1/4 at best. If it's a stick..... probably slower lol. My buddies 2012 SRT8 Bee ( stripped down Charger, no leather, just a basic power windows, locks cloth seat car) has run 12.9 something bone stock. So another 6.4 car in better air I could easily believe 12.7.
Color is called "Green with Envy" btw...... and it's fugly, lol.
