My 2006 Charger SRT will run circles around any vintage stock Mopar ever made, and nearly all of the modified ones. It does 12.80 secs in the 1/4 mile, has 425 hp, 420 lb-ft torque and does 0-60 mph in less than 4 secs. Goes 0-100 mph and back to zero in 14 secs.
It pulls 0.87g on the skid pad and with 4 piston Brembo brakes, it stops from 60 mph to zero in less than 2 secs.
And yet it is a pale lightweight compared to the newer ones.
Respect the modern Mopar...it became what it should be and crushes everything else.
Call it a Fiat? Bullshit. It is nothing more than Mopar engineering at its finest and why they still remain the envy of the entire automotive industry.
And my 2006 could be called a Mercedes...but it isn’t. It’s pure bred Mopar performance that caught the rest of the industry flat-footed when it came out...and they are still trying to catch up.
If you have never driven one, you just don’t know what the hell you are talking about.
