I would have thought it would have been faster. I was at the track and watched a bone stock SRT-8 Charger running 13.6's all day long. Would have thought that the Challenger would be lighter, therefore faster. Oh well, I'm sure the aftermarket companies are happy.
Ummm.... Forgive me for possibly being ignorant here, but for a car that weighs over 2-tons (4140lbs to be exact and for comparisons sake, the Charger actually weighs less @ 3820lbs), those performance figures don't look all too shabby. In fact, they look pretty darn good.
Sometimes I think some people forget that this is a BIG car.
But then again, I can't really imagine that anyone who goes "ga-ga" over the new GTR would be all that impressed by the Challenger.
All I know is... Had I enough expendable dough to put gas in it after the purchase, I'd have one of these bad-boys in my garage ASAP.

Please dude. Your just coming off as arrogant. For as much hype that this car has had over the years those numbers are just ridiculous. It's the slowest SRT-8 model and the SRT-4 Caliber would give it a run for it's money. The SRT-8 300C weighs over 4000 lbs, the SRT-8 Charger weighs over 4100 lbs and those are full sized sedans that are still beating the SRT-8 Challenger. Hell the SRT-6 Crossfire would beat it up!
Here is something to ponder
These times are all from Motor Trend.
03 Cobra 13.5
98 Camaro SS 13.7
00 WS6 13.6
04 CTS-V 13.6
01 Z06 13.0
These are all 6 speed cars.
My 00 WS6 ran 13.17 bone stock in 90 degree weather, poor DA, 2.1 60 foot on Eagle F1s.
We know these cars are all faster with just a normal driver. My Guess is you are going to see this thing hit Low 13's high 12 after some folks get some seat time.
One test of 13.70 does not a bad car make.
