    Challenger SRT8 officially unveiled

    http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/challenger.html

    4140 lbs!!! God that thing is portly. I wouldn't be surprised to see it stuck in the 13s with that much weight to throw around.

    well, the srt-8 charger-300-grand cherokee's are either as heavy and heavier...they all go low 13's and into the 12's.

    well, most your 300/magnum's srt's tend to to go low 13.0-13.3's at around 106-108. Most the GC tends to go b/w 13.1-13.5 @ 104. The rare ones of either have gone as fast as 12.7 (in the case of the 300...there's one on youtube/or the streetrace sight iirc) bone stock...generally, the jeep's respond to the simple mods the best...

    ...and of course, as with any car, there are the tools out there going high 13 even into the 14's with these.

    Expect the Camaro to be that heavy as well. Crash standards and safety equipment.

    The stupid Solstice weighs 3000 lbs.

    No, I think it would look good too. It would help to mask the high belt line that car has, which makes it look just as heavy as it actually is.

    Much like the Charger with the Daytona packages, I am quite sure that every year there will be several new high impact colors, limited runs, special editions, etc. That's why I am waiting... With any luck they will even make a version with the 392 Hemi...

    not to seem STUPID here....but what are these BILLBOARDS you all speak of...yes the older Challenger had a R/T and T/A STRIPE....as far as i can remember the CUDA had the only BILLBOARD on the full rear quater....and 13's for that car...i'll still take it....seems alot of lighter cars go 13's as well..STOCK...but as stated..i think the car will go faster with all the options they will being adding every year and special editions........JMO

    i was really looking forward to this car hitting the dealers, but it is starting to look like nothing more than a regular dodge car with a regular dodge motor to me?!?!?

    have to wait and see, but it is losing its appeal to me everytime i see some info for some reason.

    The more I look at it, they ruined that awesome looking ass on it.
    Well, at the very least, I have an interesting back story.
