Well I did.
Even 270rwhp in a 3300lb car vs what 320-330 (new engine, older models < 320rwhp) in a 4000lb (new ones are 4100 i believe, older just under) car?? This is hard to believe?
By this logic my maybe 340rwhp ls1 would have been spanked by my buddies 370rwhp srt8.

It is hard to believe when you look at the horsepower ratings. 400 horsepower should do alot but... going fast has alot more to it than just horsepower. Gearing, and weight are a huge factor.
Consider the 1994-1995 mustang 5.0. It only has 215 horsepower, and 288 foot pounds of torque. With the stock timing a 5 speed can run 14.9-14.7 in the quarter. Bump the timing and you can run low 14's. Add all the usual bolt-ons with a good rear gear like 3.73's or 4.10's and you've got a mid 13 second car. It's been done numerous times and recorded in the last 15 years or so.
The 99-04 should do better seeing as it has 260 flywheel horsepower as a starting point.

I think it's possible. I personally witnessed my wife keep up with a GTO in her bone stock 2002 GT. The guy was tailgating and pissing her off, when the road opened into 4 lanes, he went to pass, but she held him off. He only managed to pull 1/2 a car, barely.
Anything can happen on the street.

Thank You :beer:
OP. I would have to disagree with your power numbers as well. look over on corral and I see nobody making over 280 to the wheels with every bolt on imaginable. Best numbers over there were 278rwhp and that was everybolt on known to man. You would clearly at least have to either have cams or port work to make 290 to the wheels. ask me how i know. I have a bolt on gt minus headers and underdrive and make about 255. with lt and underdrive maybe i couldve push 270. 290 on a full bolt on gt. Sorry I might believe the race as in a driver mod but not the horsepower numbers. you dont have a factory freak.
Ive done that in my old gt. 2002 gt no work and buddies 04gto a4. He was pissed like it was my fault. But I did out lauch him by like 2 1/2 cars on the street. He didnt get the memo you can just smash the gas and let the car do the work.
Maybe he was referring to 290 at the motor?
Most likely. How do we know that this 2010 Challenger R/T isn't just the run of the mill high 13 to low 14 second ride it usually is.
I know of quite a few gt with just bolt ons running low 13's with a good driver. I dont think what he is saying is not possible and I would say if he could drive then i see no reason why he couldnt walk an r/t.
For all you number junkies that know the new challenger would beat a 2v with a couple of bolt ons your correct...but you guys all need to stop hating and over analyzing.
The guy in the challenger probably doesn't have the feel for his new car so the driving came into play. A win is a win

Know a guy with an R/T that was stock minus the air filter. Bottom 13s in the 1/4.

My 03 GT with intake, underdrives, exhaust, tune, and a throttle body made 290 wheel:shrug:
The old 5.7 Hemi the new 5.7 Hemi is a night and day difference

No it didn't. Nobody is putting those numbers down. you would be around 270 to the wheels 275 at the most. let's all be honest.
+1 the average I've seen for a full bolt on 2v is 26x whp
