Burnout91 vs. 2011 392 Challenger
My buddy at work has the Challenger and wants to line up with me after a little more break-in time. I drove the car, it has good power (feels about like my car), but the auto's shift points and shifts feel like a stocker, but still decent. Feels solid, but maybe a little heavy.
My car's best to date is 12.9 / 106 (weak sauce), but with less cam and less torque converter stall than the current combo.
I'll certainly be running 275/50-15 MT DR's. Don't know about him, probably the stock street tires.
What's the concensus??

Re: Burnout91 vs. 2011 392 Challenger
per autoweek.com :
The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 marks the return of the 392-cubic-inch Hemi V8.
The 392-cubic-inch Hemi (6.4 liters), which has not been in a production car for 52 years, produces 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. That is up 45 hp and 50 lb-ft over the previous 6.1-liter Hemi V8 in the Challenger SRT8.
The new powertrain should propel the Challenger SRT8 down the quarter-mile in the high-12-second range, according to a Dodge spokesman.
The exterior of 2011 Challenger SRT8 will include a larger front splitter, front fender spats and Mopar quad exhaust tips. It will also have “392 Hemi” badges on the fenders.
The interior will have “392” embroidered on the front seats, just under the headrests.
Dodge will make 1,492 Inaugural Edition copies of the 2011 Challenger SRT8 392--1,100 for the United States and 392 for Canada--with a choice of blue with white stripes, or white with blue stripes, for the exterior color scheme. There will also be an Inaugural Edition 392 Hemi dash plaque.
The original 392-cubic-inch Hemi V8 debuted in 1957, replacing the original 354-cubic-inch Hemi, which debuted in 1951. The 392 was dropped as a production engine after the 1958 model year.

I can't seem to find the article right now, but I just read that they got a 12.6 out of that car I believe it was. Should be a good race.

Re: Burnout91 vs. 2011 392 Challenger
The on-board computer ('Vericom' like data) in the Challenger recorded a quarter-mile run of 13.35 / 108.
I would like to richen-up my car's fuel curve in the upper R's, hopefully on March 26, before we run, but I'll run him 'as is' if necessary.

I guess all the new gadgets like GPS, espresso makers, and glovebox coolers that are adding the weight... lol

Re: Burnout91 vs. 2011 392 Challenger
^^^ Almost 4200 lbs
Pretty sure most of the weight comes from safety regulations, creature comforts and the heavy duty drive train. Big cars need big parts, even the lightweight mustang is ~3700lbs.
Size factors comparing the heavy weight vs lightweight
challenger 392:
* Wheelbase: 116.0 in.
* Length: 197.7 in.
* Height: 57.1 in.
* Width: 75.7 in.
* Curb weight: 4,170 lbs
* Trunk volume:16.2 cu. ft.
* Fuel tank: 19.0 gal.
boss 302
* Wheelbase: 107.1 in.
* Length: 188.1 in
* Height: 55.1 in.
* Width: 62.5 in.
* Curb weight: 3,631 lbs
* Trunk volume:13.4 cu. ft.
* Fuel tank: 17.0 gal.

Re: Burnout91 vs. 2011 392 Challenger
That is just seriously ridiculous! In this day and age with the EPA all over everyone's ***, where do the big3 get off building these plumped up big engine cars??? I mean, seriously, if they'd cut the fat, they'd go faster and get better mileage.... You wouldn't need 470hp to go high 12s.
