Teminator vs '12 Challenger Mopar 10

[281cubes]

Had a frustrating run with a Challenger "R/T." I was pulling out of a parking lot when I first spotted the car. I actually think I heard it long before I saw it. Louder than balls, lowered on big yet kinda skinny wheels, black everything with a sizeable hood scoop... When I saw the front, I naturally looked for an SRT-8 badge in the grille, but instead saw the infamous red R/T. However, once I got into traffic behind him, it had another badge on the top right of the spoiler that I initially expected to say SRT, but said Mopar 10. At this point, I had absolutely no idea what I was dealing with. So, since we're headed in the same direction, I stick with him. Passed a minivan during my half-assed pursuit; the driver yelled out the window as I passed "Go get him!" ha Made me laugh. Anyway, we end up side by side at a light, him solo, me with a passenger. As I gave his car a respectful once over, I spotted A-pillar gauges, adding to my curiosity. Driver doesn't even glance over to BS or smile or wink or give me the finger. Cold as ice. Consequently, I didn't know for sure if anything was going to happen once the light turned green and nobody wants to be that guy who takes off like an idiot all by himself. So, light turns green, neither of us hits it, but he does shoot out maybe a car ahead of me. Then, just as I'm about ready to ease her into second, he spontaneously hammers it. I join him, but my lack of finesse causes me to waste the tires through first (4.10's hate me) and get a little sideways before hitting second which, by that time, put him a solid 4+ cars out on me. Once I make it into third and I see that I'm not passing him, I realize that there must be something to that special badge on the rear of his car which, by the way, is very, very slowly becoming more visible. We/I ran up to about 135 before letting out with me probably 2 cars back and creeping on him. I gave him a wave and thumbs up before turning off and running home so I could look that thing up online. ha Turns out, the Mopar 10 is some special version. S/C @ 8.5lbs among other bolt-on's making 540hp and 600tq which would explain my struggle. If you do the math, he and I should make pretty close to the same rwhp. How he hooked and went on those relatively skinny street tires boggles my mind. Regardless, a loss is a loss. Hats off to the guy for a tough run. :beer:

Interesting. Never heard of such thing. Time for me to look it up.

Nice to see someone get spanked and still be a good sport about it. Although if he didnt pull a rope a dope on the start it might have ended differently. Better luck next time buddy!

Ha Very true. And if I wanted whine about it, I could point out that I'd have definitely pulled on him from a roll, but it is what it is. Can't win 'em all!

Only 500 of them were made. IDK O.P, either he made it S/C or….. he outdrove you… badly….

Although in truth the Mopar '10 is mostly an appearance package, Gorlier says the car's cold-air intake and hood scoop should give the 5.7-liter V-8 an estimated 15-bhp increase over the stock Challenger R/T's 376 bhp

You're confusing it with this other Mopar 10 but this one was done by a shop.

He must have done something more than air filter and mufflers then because there's no way he out drove me by that much. ha

Yeah, he wouldn't have kept up in front of you like that if it was a basically stock R/T. R/Ts aren't fast, I've run them in my lowly 5.0 and it wasn't even close. You would have mopped the floor with him if he was stock.

Ahaha im with you as well :beer: Pretty impressive that you gained 2 cars even after losing 4 while you were fighting for traction. Im sure if you had a better start, you would've pulled it. Either way, a loss is a loss and this one was an honorable one :beer:

Glad you're cool about it. Shit happens sometimes and this is that time unfortunately. What tires are you running out back?

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Nice death.

I wouldn't count that as a death since he did jump you pretty good. But sounds like you had fun, which is a good thing. :beer:

315 R888's. The 4.10's pretty much ruin any hopes for hooking in first on anything other than a straight up slick. :burnout:

Well I had a different pair of toyos with 4.10s so I kinda know what youre talking about.

 

[garner]

Yeah mopar edition is just appearance stuff and minor mods(intake and exhaust). He most likely supercharged it aftermarket and who knows what else

 

[HighCal]

Good race OP.

Good race, I appreciate the link to save me some time lol.

Good death.......but I have 315 R888s with 4.10s and a more aggressive 3.37 1st gear. Im guessing you have a pullied and tuned cobra making 460ish whp? Or is your sig outdated?

I can deadhook with my R888s on the street launching in 1st gear at idle and hold traction all thru 1st, 2nd and 3rd and I have roughly 30 whp on you and abit less weight.

Maybe its time for a new set of R888s?

Nice run, I haven't seen a Mopar Challenger around here but I've seen a few Mopar Chargers. Had to look up what they were because a couple of them wanted to run but traffic wouldn't allow it. Come to find out its just an appearance package and the 5.7....

Numbers/mods in sig are accurate and the R888's have maybe 2k on them. Maybe I just need to let some air out of them.
