392's are awesome cars. I'd own one in a heartbeat. The only Dodge worth buying IMO.
Stupid expensive for a car that a regular GT will beat.
What do you run at the track?
Oh that's right... you matched a stock 392 in the 1/4 mile...

boom!
In all honestly if you are spending the dough on an srt-8 you might as well compare it to a Shelby. Top of the line to top of the line.
If it is srt8 vs 5.0 then I would go srt8 all the way.

I guess that would be the current comparison but a more valid one would be the upcoming 392 hellcat vs 13+GT500
Next-gen Challenger to boast supercharged 'Hellcat' HEMI V8
Stock vs stock I agree the 392 is nicer and should edge out a 5.0 but with simple boltons for the 5.0 it would be a more even match from a straight line standpoint like others have said.
ive not done too much digging around, ive read this: 12.253 @ 113.86, 1.907 60', 392 A5, stock. apparently the autos are a bit better than the M6. most likely not the norm. imo, they are a mid 12 sec car. still pretty quick for a barge.
But you can also do simple bolt-ons to the 392 and still stay ahead of the 5.0.
I would choose the '13 392 SRT-8 over the '13 5.0 as well. The only thing I don't like about the Challenger is the size. I just feels as big as it is. Still a nice car, though. Gotta love the 392.
The only downside for the srt lineup is the price. I went on dodge's website and built srt charger...the price was over 50k 
:lol1::lol:
I don't think we're gonna hear from him again. :beer:
392 any day! Those saying that a 5.0 will match a stock 392 do know that the Challenger can be modded as well, right? Price difference however between the both is a little off, wouldnt it be better suited against the Boss?

Based on exterior looks, the 392 wins no contest IMO. However, it's not enough car for the money. I'd buy the used 2013 GT & pocket the rest.
392 looks great, has good power, weighs to much, costs to much for the level of performance. 392 is the flagship of Dodge's muscle car division, it would only be fair to compare it to a GT500 or possibly the Boss.
'13 GT 5.0 looks good, has good power, weighs much less, costs much less. 5.0 GT is not the flag ship of Ford's muscle car division.

The drama you just started... You take it back! The 5.0 is their best offering ever!
The 5.0 isn't just an engine, it's a lifestyle lol.
I thought the Viper was their flagship "go fast" car.
I have to admit that the Challenger is one of the best looking cars on the road.
Sig worthy.
After seeing the car in person the SRT is really a nice car.
Exactly, and that's the point many people here seem to be missing. The 392 is marginally quicker, yes, but nothing that a tune couldn't take care of. It *should * be quicker, it costs $10k more. The fact that the 5.0 is a couple bolt ons away from being comparable is rather sad. The manual 392s really aren't any quicker anyway.
