Buddy saw a new Challenger at track! A service tech that I work with has a few Mopars and he went out to our local track(Thompson Drag Raceway) last night...Grudge Night and there were some pretty quick cars there. One was a brand new Challenger. He talked to the owner. The owner said he took the car to the track 3 days after he picked it up from the dealer and it ran 13.1 BONE STOCK. He put longtube headers, full exhaust, and K&N complete air induction kit and went 12.5; then through on a 100 shot nitrous via a ZEX kit and it now runs 11.6. These times are at our crappy Thompson track. We have am awesome track but its about 2 hours away...NORWALK DRAG RACEWAY (I think the name changed to SUMMIT MOTORPORTS PARK). NORWALK (SUMMIT MOTORPORTS PARK) is known to be 2-5 tenths quicker then the shitty THOMPSON DRAG RACEWAY. There was also a Chrysler 300 there running 11.8 with nitrous!
I just saw a challenger at the track running mid 10's but i dont know what his setup was. Another day there was a challenger there running 11.50's with a procharger. I wouldn't sleep on them at all.
Having said that chances that you'll run into a SRT8 Challenger on nitrous of FI is slim so go out there and kill them.

The only reason a car runs quicker at SUMMIT MOTORSPORTS PARK when comparing apples is because SMP's elevation is about 800ft. lower than TRP's and that isn't but a few hundreths difference.
