how fast is a 300 hemi then?

Mangum and Charger are slow due to that !%%%%% Mercedes auto they have + they run of 4 cylinders 99% of the time so there's a huge lag in response when you need all 8 to kick in.

Not true.
All SRT8s are wide open off all 8 cylinders full time.  Any lag that you feel in an SRT8 vehicle is from traction control, and computer memory on daily driving.

The 6.1 liter SRT8 300 falls in the 170-173mph range

That's what I like about these cars.  Dodge is one of the few manufacturers that doesn't speed limit their performance segment.
Bang for buck.

I'd rather take an EVO.

Also the new Challenger Srt handles a lot better and doesn't feel as sluggish and less body roll in the bends. If only they could shed 300-400 pounds of both these pigs they'd be faster and handle better.

I've got a 2010 B5 Challenger Classic R/T with a six speed, if I don't throw a blower on it, I might have to get the new Challenger.

Also can't wait till the 2012 Jeep Srt. I just got a 2010 Jeep Srt and have only added a BWoody CAI, custom tune by Jonah and I'm running 0-60 in 4.3-4.4s and consistent 1/4's in the 12.7s range. Can't imagine the new one with air suspension better interior and 500 hp. If they get rid of the center exhaust in the back, I'll keep mine.

How did your 7.0 Hemi crate engine turn out?

I'm glad to hear that Dodge underrated the engine.  Save a bit on insurance, and keeps the 1st gen Viper owners calm on paper.

I'm wanting a 392 more and more.

Also, seeing the new engine numbers makes me appreciate the 6.1 liter Hemi engines more.
Magnum SRT8s still hold one of the best stock top speeds at 176mph.

Man I'm still debating on what to do. I've got to other engines being built right now but those are for the 70 Challenger T/A and the other is the 440 six pak on the convertible Challenger. My dad and also got the first Viper Challenger Drag Pak car. I just want to see specs on the new 2012 Jeep Srt, because either a new 440 or 426 is big bucks, with upgraded driveline. As for the 2010 Challenger R/T I'm really liking the Kenne Bell 3.6LC supercharger. So many projects that we're trying to get done for some big races coming up.BTW if anyone wants to buy some SRT track experiences let me know, I've got a few. You get to test drive all the SRT vehicles: like track courses, 1/4 mile etc. It's an all day event and they're at the big raceways. Think they retail for $500 or if you buy a new SRT you get one free. I'd sell them probably at half the cost.

I've also got some pictures of a friend of mine who has The 3rd fastest Jeep in the 1/4. He's got a 426 hemi done by SHR and a Techo 3.0l blower.

. And a dude we know on the east coast ran mid 9's with a 440 I believe twin turbo Jeep, with full interior. Crazy....
