wrong....I never race with my car in auto mode. I always race in auto stick mode. Big Difference, I love how when a stang gets beat its an incompetent driver. My car was clearly faster all 3 times. Higher trap, faster ET it was pretty clear. On the street from a roll there is not much room for error......

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Auto stick is a lot different from an auto, who are you trying to fool? Your car is still basically idiot proof when launching.

they aren't surprised at all because they actually race at the strip and not on the internet .

Dude, that's awesome- you should write the next fast and the furious script! :lol:
I have to disagree- there is nothing to using an autostick except for how weird Dodge made it shifting from side to side (maybe they realized you need a little more of a challenge). The only thing you have to be good at is shifting ahead of time to compensate for the delay in the shift. On the G35 it was no quicker to shift manually- probably the same in your case. On a standard, you have to shift and work the pedals- getting good shifts isn't given to you. It's all about the driver skill. A monkey can drive an auto down a track.
Speaking of F&F5, those Matt black chargers are pretty bad. And I love the new tail lights on the new ones (unless I have to follow one). I don't know why they made them so nice though, no one ever sees them :beer:

Ugh no, low 13's out of the new 5.7 R/T's is the norm. I still LOL at the fact that my 4000+lb "Boat" on 22's and street tires with a tune/intake is making stang owners get all defensive. I dont talk it I run it any kill I claim I can get on video or have it on video. Some of you need to hit the strip more often. Ive lined up with about 10 5.0's in the last month all ranging from stock to modded. When I beat the stock 5.0's (autos, manuals, 3.31's and 3.73 cars) they aren't surprised at all because they actually race at the strip and not on the internet....

When I beat the stock 07 GT500 3 times in a row his words exactly
Him "Is it supercharged?"
Me "Intake, Tune, Catback"
Him "Scratches Head"
Me "Read to much wrong info on the .net"

Ill be honest there are a shit ton of SRT8 owners who make us look bad by running 14's but if you can do simple math you should know a 4000lb car with 425hp (been proven to be closer to 450) can run better then a 14......

Low 13s in the norm? So the RT is just as fast as the SRT8 models? Didn't know that thanks.

The car is internally stock. No mods if you want to consider 20" DR's a mod then so be it. I could really care less what you think you can be a hater all you want but when you do run across someone like me who knows how to race their SRT8 you will be in all :rolling:..

Drag radials not a mod? No wonder the fast list look so stupid these days. Pretty soon a stock car will include a stall and full exhaust.

NIIIICE. Those look as beautiful as Benjamins. :beer:
You're hired for the next fast and the furious movie too! We'll have you throw them down on a table sometime in the opening scene. "I don't have cash, but I have skills." I love it! :beer:

My god this thread is full of bs and whining. From my experience machs are not any faster than an srt8. I've run a half dozen over the years (none of them stock), and they always jump out about car from a dig, then I steadily pull past by 60-70mph. For reference, my best 1/4 mile in the stock srt was 12.88 @ 109mph. In my experience the srt8s are actually quite difficult to launch in full auto mode. Too much wheel spin and the tranny short shifts on you and bogs the motor. This is why you need to run in auto stick. Hell my 10 sec et. 620 rwhp cobra is much easier to launch than my srt8. Anyway, I don't know why all the mach guys have their panties in a bunch, these cars arent even in the same class. Both are nice cars and each have their good bad points. Srt8s are big family cars that can still haul pretty well. I enjoy the looks I get as my two ton boat drives by machs, M3s and others.

:??: Who's panties are in a bunch? I've got a hand full of mods and would wipe the floor with any stock Challenger or Charger and I have about half the motor. If you ask me it's the other way around with the panties. lol

And you have 1200lbs less weight. See how this can go both ways? It's called run what you've got, and in my experience a stock srt8 beats lightly modded machs 6-0. Maybe you have experienced the opposite, good for you.

Heck yeah. My Mach 1 puts my panties in a bunch every time I drive it. Changes their colors too..
At first we were talking about a Mach 1 with DRs going against a SRT8 driven by an inexperienced new owner, now we're expected to take down 392s. If we're playing that game, let's talk about how much they have to feed those SRT8s in fuel, and how ONE of their car payments could pay for any mod I want :beer:
Let's get this bad boy up to 18 pages :rockon:

I really want to run at your track, that's two record passes is it not?

Have to update my list; ranger, furman, Evan smith, srt8tech.

Uhhhh, no. There are some 13.1 bone stock R/T's out there and quite a few 12.2 392 runs out there. But yes, as far as I know, I am the fastest 12.25 to the next 12.28 that DadsToy did.

On Slicks? If not, I find that really hard to believe. My bud's Full exhaust R/T could not even pull an inch on my G35...and I KNOW that car is mid 14s
and I was manually shifting :burn:
