Which is the favor in this race? I'm hearing different from both sides.

People always ask me why I didn't get the Hemi...

It's because I already have an LS1 Camaro Convertible. I got the Charger with the 2.7 to get the best possible mileage...

(BTW: My LS1 gets 26 MPG when driven lightly...)
Ever wish you had gotten a Terminator instead? A lot more power.

well i ran this week end against a automatic 2012 chevy camaro SS with the L99 and i have a 2013 charger r/t with the paddle shifters and sport mode button not sure how much faster that is compared to a regular r/t but the 4 times i ran against him and right off the launch i took him after that he was at my rear bumper the whole 1/4 mile never even creeped up nothing just sat by my bumper the whole way down

Interesting that you won..the Camaro SS makes 426 hp and is much lighter than our chargers. Sounds like you were just a better driver than he was! None the less, I'm sure he was embarrassed so that's a win all day long! Or it could have been an RS or an up badger..

well at launch i always got him and i have just the wheels and tunes package nothing much else nobody at the track believed my car was stock and i bearly have 1567 miles on it and was my first time at the track. though i think the climate played a part also it was 87F and 80% humidity so i still cant believe he never beat me or caught up

Dodge has always been very conservative with their numbers. These HEMI engines put out a run of power and the amount of torque is immense.

I have raced two Camaro SS automatics (no sticks) and I have pulled away both times with a stock, 200K mile 6.1

This was from about 65-110

They are certainly quicker than R/Ts but slightly slower than 6.1s and they have no shot against a 6.4

Agree, From my experience racing the SS's with the Stang last year, the auto's were the quickest from 0-60, and the 6 speed SS's were better in the 1/4 mile. Put an Auto SS against the 6 speed and the auto will take the 1/8th but the standard always pulled away by the 1/4. (Just from what I have seen)

IMO, the new R/T Charger's, with a good tune, CAI and Headers with HF Mid's, would give the stock SS auto a good run. (Would have to take out the spare tire, LOL):)
