SRT8 Charger vs Mach stock for stock??? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

firebird1999us · 07-22-2006, 10:19 PM

I was researching on the SRT series of cars since I'm planning on a Challenger in 2008/9 when the mach is paid off -- anyways I read a post where a guy said that his SRT8 Charger was beaten by an LS1 Camaro SS. Another guy posted "a stock ss/ws6 will beat a SRT8"

I know the Chargers are really heavy cars, but being beaten by a Camaro means a Mach would take one stock for stock given equal drivers. I was kind of surprised by this since the Dodge has 425 horsepower and the 340hp RT I test drove seemed pretty damned fast inspite of being so big.

Anybody encountered an SRT8 Charger in the Mach?

ive smoked a couple 340 hp chargers.. it wasnt even close.. those cars are boats.. but i havent run into one with 425 yet.. so well see

oh yeah im not stock though.. just full exhaust, cai and a tune

I had one try to run with me on the interstate a few days ago. He wasnt even close. The Challenger is a sweet looking car,I may look into one when and if they come out.

I saw on some tv show that said the SRT-8 is a 13.3 car. I think a stock Mach with a good driver would be even or the Mach would edge it out.

I had a charger, it was a piece of **** that almost got me killed, the ESP will try to drive for you.

I will NEVER own, buy, borrow, a chrysler product again.

Fixed it for me. This is exactly how I feel.

What is an ESP, and what year Charger did you have COZ?

HotRod · 07-23-2006, 08:19 AM

I think I can answer this question. A Charger is about .1-.2 quicker than my Magnum, and it ran 13.31@105 bone stock on its 2nd pass down the track.
I then installed Magnaflow mufflers and removed the resonators and it ran the 13.15@105 and 13.2@106. An automatic (vs auto SRT-8) Mach1 wouldnt have much of a chance. A 5 speed Mach better have an awesome driver to outrun an SRT-8. As for top end, the SRTs pull up to 170-172mph stock. The Mach would be left way behind.

There's the 425 horses. HP = top end.

Dont forget I have a race weight of 4600# too. Thats almost 1000# more than a Mach1.

Watched a SRT auto, go down the 1/8 mile wednesday.. After 3 attempts this was his best time.. Sorry quality is from my Phone ..

2006 charger r/t, the ESP is the electronic stabliity program, even with it off, its on

HotRod · 07-23-2006, 11:43 AM

The SRTs can disable the ESP up to 80% off. It will easily light up the tires like that. I have had good results with it. On a slippery track, I can still get 1.9 60' times. I beat an '03 Cobra like that. He was like...

I raced a Magnum RT with a catback on the 1/8 track in Abilene and he pulled my by about 1 or 2 tenths. I was having traction issues though and missed 3rd so I coasted through the last couple hundred feet of the track.
