Drove a new 6.1 Hemi Challenger- I'll take my 70 R/T

While on vacation in Montana, a friend asked if I wanted to drive him to Bozeman to pick up his new Challenger. While in town, he let me drive it. It was by no means much of a road test on my part, but the car didn't seem very quick. My 70 Challenger (383, 4-speed, 3.23, 354 dynoed hp) seems much quicker. Maybe it's just the poor steering and handling of my 70 that makes it seem more of a handful. Of course, if I were taking a trip, like anything over two miles, I'd take the new one!

Although I do prefer the originals I drove an 08 last weekend and was blown away by how quick they are. Floor this car and it takes off like a rocket.

6.1 has a TON of potential to make power and they respond well to modifications. They have lightly modified srt-8 4400lb family cars turning 12.15s

If you're just cruising around town you're not going to notice the punch, but once you step on it and get deep in the revs, you'll feel the punch.
