Gibbo said:Will be interested to find out what the new Challenger weighs that I've put my name down for. If its built like the Charger it will be very heavy, but if it is built more like modern cars then it will no doubt be pretty light. I am thinking it can't be to bad if it can cover the 1/4 mile in 13s but saying that a Mustang with 400+ BHP does it in sub 12.5s but that is aided with the live rear axle though.
If I remember right, the Charger is the LX platform and the Challenger is using the new LY platform which is a shortened LX. I can't see it being much heavier than the 'stang really, certainly not a lot heavier.

everyone knows the M5 is the best 1111oneoneone(am i doing this right?)
how can it be beaten?
Clarkson says it's brilliant and it has a BMW badge on it therefore it MUST conquer all.

JRS said:Heh, you're so funny
gee thanks, I bet your a hoot a tea parties too.
JRS said:
no mention of non barge tyoe vehicles here, not a true sports car in sight, is that becuase your inadvertantly putting this against large cars that cant use their power or is their an alternative motive?
we are talking 2 door 4 seats so you need to add 911 and a tvr cerb to your list to name but a few, then add into the think tank "usable power" and then prices for the vehicle now and you will see its not exactly a great choice if your into speed alone (unless you drive exclusivly in a straight line) or would like to brag about your bhp on the rolling road (which in reality means nothing, surely you know that)
usable power, go google it, sounds like you'll learn somthing unless your blinded by the ghey muscle car thang, in which case enjoy.

Only slightly
Got used to the whole "BMW uber alles" thing on here though.***edit***

Actually, I just picked the M5 as that had been mentioned by the poster that I was replying to. And the SL600 had the same laptime as the M5 on the list that was posted earlier in the thread. Any more of my posts that you want to take completely out of context, please feel completely at liberty to do so.

Hell, I'm not even dropping a truly insane amount of painkillers any more. It was brilliant timing - just as I got my auto 'box equipped car working fully again, I went into hospital to get my clutch leg repaired.....

Eh, you win some, you lose some, you wreck some. A very wise man* once said that, died in a car crash, it was very sad.
Just to bring this thread back to the Challenger somewhat:
'70 Challenger T/A. 340ci small block V8 with three 2bbl carbs (2 barrels when loafing, all 6 when you want to destroy something), sorted suspension for the occasions when you come across a corner, and a lime green paintjob to blind the guy you just obliterated off the traffic lights.
If the new one is even half as good as this, it'll do just fine

basically (screens cleaned now thanks dark side) we where talking about usable power, you know, the kinda thing where a 300 bhp car will kill a 450bhp car in a straight line, or on a quater mile, its all down to design layout and geometry, along with deliverance of power. If your into american cars I prolly lost you after the first open bracket.
