well, if it was a V6 charger it would be a WHOLE LOT slower than the hemi version.... so yea

Unless the guy was just messing with you and not really racing! lol he might have thought "wtf is this kid doing..." that is if it were a hemi.


p.s. racing with people in the car is not cool... do it by yourself, you don't want to be the reason why those kids parents get that call in the middle of the night...

The Charger is available with a 190-hp 2.7L V6 (no emblems on the side), a 250-hp 3.5L V6 (3.5L emblems on the fender), a 340-hp 5.7L Hemi V8 (R/T and Daytona models) and a 425-hp 6.1L Hemi V8 (SRT-8 models).

A V6 Tib should easily beat a V6 Charger but the Hemi V8's will easily beat a lightly modded Tib.

Heh, I actually did something kind of like that a while back.

I was leaving work late, so the highways were deserted. As I’m going to the highway on-ramp I pull up behind this guy with a black SRT-8 Magnum (as far as I can tell it’s basically a Charger in station wagon trim) with tinted windows. I’m not paying it too much attention until the light turns green and he pulls out with a decent engine rumble and a nice little tire chirp. Well of course, this piques my interest and so I keep as close behind him as safety and courteous driving allow (read as: I didn’t ride his ***, but I kept up with him while he was having his fun from stop-light to stop-light).

We get to the on-ramp, and the Gods are finally smiling on me because he’s going my way, unlike the rest of the folks who will rev on me during the day when, for whatever reason (traffic, single lane roads, I’m already at my destination) I can’t get into it with them. We pull onto the highway and as we’re doing so he gives it some throttle to pull ahead of me and get into the middle lane. I pull up next to him in the fast lane and look down the highway. I’ve got to tell you, there’s few sights more beautiful than a long stretch of empty black-top when you’re sitting next to a like-minded driver. We look at each other for a moment, sizing up the competition, give a nod, then get down to business. He hammers it down and his car roars that throaty V8 scream and he just starts pulling like there’s no tomorrow. My car was still stock at that point, and from a highway roll there’s not much a stock Tiburon can do to a car like that, so I won’t bore you with the details of the buses that he put on me.

I will however mention the fact that on our third and final run he let me take the jump. He must have felt a little bad for me laboring behind him in the stock Tiburon, because he gave me up until about the top of 5’th to feel good about myself. There I am, my car screaming, he’s nowhere in my peripheral vision, and so I shift, allowing myself for just a moment to believe that maybe all I really needed was a little bit of road in front of me and I’d have him. And then he tears by me like I’m standing still. I skipped right past shocked and embarrassed and just laughed my *** off. We pulled up one last time and exchanged thumbs up, then went our separate ways.

Sometimes messing with cars that thoroughly outclass you can be fun, yanno?

I have test driven the 300 in every trim level. If I had to chose one it would be the 3.5L V6. The hemi is just a gas guzzler and I already have a fast car. The 3.5 has plenty of get up and go power. It might be tough for a stock tib to take one on the highway.

Yeah my friend has a 3.5 charger. We played, I have I/H/E and I was ahead of him by about 2-3cars but after 80 he started pulling on me.

it defenetly was not V8
i am leaning towards 2.7 V6 since u had 4 people in your car and asuming that only one person in the charger....here is why:

Engine 2.7L V-6
Horsepower 200 @ 5,800 rpm
Torque 190 @ 4,850 rpm
weight: 3,700
0-60mph (estimated) 8.9 seconds
1/4 mile (estimated) 16.5 seconds at 84 mph

3.5L puts down 250 hp and 250tq and runs 15.8-16.0 stock
http://www.dragtimes.com/Dodge-Charger-Timeslip-10351.html

the only problem i have is u puling on him in 1st, but in cars with big engine as 3.5L if u flor it all the way from a stanging still u get lousy pull, but if u push it half way u can get some tire spin.... ( auto )

We have a undercover detective here with a modded charger R/T. I saw him rip it one time and man that thing was quick. sounded nice too. anywho good kill.
 
#34 ·
^ LOL. .. he got killed.... charger won by one car.... and they stoped racing after geting into 3rd gear ....
 
#37 ·
well for a v6 auto wif CAI ( fujita ) and 4 ppl in my car it wasnt a bad run we stop at 3rd because or the red lights we raced 3-4 more times but still lost by half to one car length nd yes it was only one person in the charger still tho fun short race LOL

my dad has the 3.5L AWD...and that thing is a dog...i dont understand how it can do 15.8 stock...ive driven it to its top potential...no balls...it sounds like its working...but if you watch the speedo it goes nowhere...
 
#43 ·
the more optins it has the slower it gets.... as u said b4 it was AWD - they usualy come with all options, that extra weight and resistance slows them down..they are rated at 16.0 and best they did was 15.88....it seems that the faster it goes the better chanse it has in beeting tiby....
