MY 03 pullied cobra vs stock 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 Hemi

[MACHXLR8]

this 392 with a big cam heads and intake with full exhaust will be a monster. i love my cobra, and i love the 500's and i love the 5.0, but im tired of FI all the time to see big gains. this car will be making great power and huge torque na when built.

I hate to tell ya man but I think the DOHC FI Forged motor was way ahead of its time and is a good inidcator of what is to come. Smaller displacement, overhead cam motors with variable timing and Forced Induction. The push rod motor, while nice, makes great power and is proven technology, will become obsoleted in the near future for production cars. Maybe in race application, will the pushrod V8 still be used but I see the market going in the other direction for production vehicles. Just my opinion though..
Just look at the Cobra and the power that can be made from a small 281ci motor. Why use a huge displacement motor when you can compensate it with a supercharger or turbo?

"The Challenger is my former Chief's new car. He used to have a 2007 Shelby GT500 and a 2010 Challenger R/T He traded them both in for a 2011 Green Challenger SRT8 392 Hemi. This car is beautiful. It's got the Green Metallic looking paint with black racing stripes."

LEO or Navy?

thats my point.

cause it is cool and the roots. 500 rwhp with fi, to me, will never be as cool as 500 na power. the sound of high compression,big cam, headers =:rockon: all day. when i go to the spot on the weekends and i start up my car, then someone starts up there a na combo i cant even hear my car.ya i still have to put cars lengths on them to keep them in check,:-D but still they sound better at idle.

Yeah, Because we all know the Challenger was developed using space age technology. They really need to get rid of those old outdated DOHC Forced induction motors with forged internals. They keep making these mistakes. The GT500 is another example of an outdated car that is still in production today. :lol:

:lol:..... no maybe the exterior that looks like the other 90% of the mustangs on the road and the interior that reminds you your not in 2011 and instead contemplating whether your in a 94 or 04 ... MINUS WHITE FACE GUAGES... OOO-WEEE

Yeah, because 90% of the mustangs on the road look like 03/04 Cobras. :bash: Interior, are you kidding me? We are talking about a muscle car. They are loud, they vibrate and they go fast. If I want a smooth ride, I'll get into my 535 or Acadia. BTW, the Challenger interior is made of the same plastic used in the mustang. Try again....

True. Last cruising weekend in OC as soon I got there pulled up next too a Chevelle with cutouts, cam and whatever else he was trying to yell at me over his idle. That was easily the nastiest loudest street car ive ever heard. He still got pulled to the next light but damn if she didn't sound great. :burnout:

I've stated on LS1tech I think fully that my lightly bolt on Mach 1 could take a stock 392 from a dig. The Mopar nut swingers said I was full of :bs:

This should help you then... belongs to a friend's dad (I've driven it myself and managed to run almost identical times to my own car).

 

[Stopsign32v]

Actually I am running the Mach with bolt ons and gears for the first time this coming friday. The Mopar nut swingers were saying the 392 is a 12.3-12.4 car stock.

Yes.. I have to agree with you 100%...There is nothing like an old big block with big cubic inches and a cam. However, whatever gets you to the finish line first is what really counts especially if your running for cash. :beer:

I did see that Youtube video of the 392 running a 12.4 :dw: however, I think that was a rare occurence where a great driver ran their 392 on a perfectly prepped track with a great DA. I have yet to see this time duplicated in stock form since.

 

[Stopsign32v]

I will be at Atlanta Dragway, my Mach has all of 5 bolt ons done to it if you include the short throw shifter. I offered for the Mopar boys to find any stock 392 to run me, didn't hear anything back. Here's the thread What's so challenging about a Challenger? Cross off yet another Dodge - LS1TECH

Yea, Denver altitude with three people in the car

Anyway, 12:40 would be extremely slow for a bulldozer

I'm running in the same altitude brotha...

 

[Stopsign32v]

I wasnt going to say anything but this statement is dumb as hell. A bolt on mach 1 will get destroyed by a 392. I cant tell you how many bolt on mach 1's I have beat from a dig and roll. I even made a callout on SVTP to run a mach 1 with similar mods as me and all I got was excuses that irwindales 1/8th mile is to short. And you do realize that since there are now 10+ guys on the 392 fastest stock list that are running 12.2-12.4's @113-114 it makes it a low 12 second car right?

Here is the major nut swinger himself LOL

Just for reference, here is a post from a fellow member on another forum I belong to who owns a 2011 392 SRT Challenger. He has been posting some nice track times for a completely stock car on street tires (scroll down for the time slips):

My understanding is that 12.4 run had drag radials. The time slip I posted was done in -400da. Not the best 60ft or anything but I don't see a 12.4 happening in stock form.
