Well i finally had a run in with a black r/t on the way home from work today. I was headed down through town and seen a black charger in front of me. So I held back till traffic cleared, and we got even and i counted to three and we hit it at about 70 and ran up to bout 125 and i put about three cars on him. and he threw his hand up and went on. So he was pretty cool about it,Anyways i was happy to get a hold of one...................

I did about the same thing with a 5.7 charger, But the 09 Chargers have a bit more power. Can't wait to get a race on with an 09'er...lol Not sure on the new power maybe 385hp and 390 tq for just the 5.7liter. my numbers maybe off.

The best stock times I've seen from them are low 14's/high 13's trapping 99-102. The slow gear ratio and weight is what kills them.
From what I've gathered......high 13s, low 14s is light bolt on ETs....either way, they're on par with a stock new edge GT.......and yep their 2.7x (?) gears don't help worth a crap.
I loved the ride of the daytona's, but extremely unimpressed with acceleration I was...oh, and the arm rest position on the door...VERY poor. LOL
