05 GT vs 2011 Challenger R/T
Hi there! I apologize if this has already been asked, but I'd like to know what you guys think. I have an 05 GT stick with: mgw v2 shifter, jba long tubes, o/r H pipe, ud pullies, Bama tune, and some suspension work and wondered how it would do against a stock 2011 challenger r/t with a 5.7L (357hp?) and a automatic? I'm thinking the Stang should take the Chally no problem....any thoughts?

I had a 2009 Challenger R/T six speed manual. Even for there size they can move very quickly. With your mods I think it would be close depending on driver. A stock 05 would lose.

I'm thinking the R/T, especially with his auto v. your manual. Of course the 22" wheels will handicap him and your mods will help you. I think it would be a close and interesting race.

I beat a bone stock challenger rt with a axle back only 3 valve, it was from a roll. Your car with full bolt ons should be a 12.85-13.20 car and your racing a stock 14 second army tank. I've had plenty of seat time in a challenger and just wasn't impressed by a stock rt at all.
