That 1/4 time is spinning to the 60ft mark on street tires and 4660 pounds on the scale w/me in it. With a pair of stickies out back should be an easy 12.9 inthe 1/4 !

Lol, the non-srt 5.7L chargers are capable of doing 13.7s in the 1/4 mile at over 100mph, even the first gens. The SRT8s with the 6.1L were tested number of times and did 0-60 in under 5s, quarter mile in the low 13s at 108-109mph. In fact even today's 3.6L V6 chargers and 300s with the 8-speed were tested and they trapped almost 98mph.

@jacobreed47 8 жыл бұрын

I just bought a new 2016 Dodge Charger SXT V6 and I like the new styling, and even enjoy the giant presence I make when driving in Seattle, this V6 is still entertaining to drive fast. I know it's just under 300 hp but the 8 speed just makes it all work. I believe all I need to do is change out the rear diff gear to maybe a 3.71 and that alone will take a full second off the 6.5 second 0-60. not bad for a V6 Tank.

The killer looks & sound make this car desirable. But weights to much & sips to much gas, city/highway 13/19. The fuel mileage is the same as a full size pickup weighing 5-6 thousand pounds. Highway mileage should at least get 22. The Mustang, Camaro, & Corvette get low to mid 20s. But u do get a lot of leg room, cargo & luggage space unlike other sport cars.
