an SRT 8 will beat a G but not by much. Its the WEAK 3rd gear our 3.3 auto has that messed it up.

Ok guys I understand this is a G35 site. But WE must state the Obvious a 425HP V8 will OWN a 3.5L 280HP V6.....(Both stock of course)
I have never had the opportunity to race an SRT8 However I have raced my 02 Z28 against my G coupe.. Both cars are auto and the Z28 just kills it... And that is a 5.7L 325HP V8.
PS. Dodge/chrysler dose have a new line called SRT design which makes the car look identical to the SRT's with out the upgraded engine.

I've raced a Charger R/T with an intake at the strip two times. I was stock, unless you think a Z-tube does anything, and was pulling 14.3s@98mph with mid to high 2.1 60 foots. The R/T was getting 14.0-14.1@98mph with 2.0 60 foots. From 0-40 he'd get me and then it was even the rest of the way (him about 2 cars on me). My G just couldn't match the launch of that V8. If he would have had the typical 20-22" rims that most of the 300C/Magnum/Charger cars have, I'm certain I'd be beating him.

a guy at work got a Charger RT as a company car... he new I was into modding and racing the G and asked me to drive it and see what I thought... for a bone stock car its got some ooomph but nothing neck breaking - my G would destroy it with a doubt. Stock for stock it might be close, but I think the Charger is sooo heavy the G would probably win.
The Charger only has all that power to move the heavy pig. Its basically a cruiser not a race car.
The Challenger!!! That’s a whole other story!
I need to go drive one! SOON!!!

R/Ts, Magnums, and 300Cs are all easy low 14 second rides with quite a few owners dipping into the 13.8 range.

I can assure you that a stock RT is not going to dip below 14 on the tracks out here... mid 14s are more like it. So posting track times doesnt mean much - since as you are aware every track is going to yield different times no matter what the power is. So to say a Charger RT runs a 13.8 makes it seem real fast... put it on Autoclub Dragway and it wont get anywhere near that.
