[Super Blue 72]

Challenger SRT8 vs 340 Six Pack Challenger T/A - Old vs New - 1/4 Mile - Road Test TV

Obviously not a stock T/A. Pretty slow SRT8 as well.

Car hooked great, had some awesome 60 times

[shoooter]

what would a stock challenger T/A run?

[Katfish]

High 14's would be my guess. maybe even 15's.  These cars weren't really that fast by today's standards.

The new challenger is way to big=heavy=slower track speeds.I.ll bet that T/a is closer to "stock " than the new challenger.

Obviously not a stock T/A. Pretty slow SRT8 as well.

Found this:

1970 Dodge Challenger T/A
339 cui v8, 4-spd
0-60 mph, 7.1 sec
1/4 mi, 15.4 sec @ 92 mph
(Nov 2007, C&D)

I always find it more instructive to compare the best times rather than random times, as the reviewers are typically all over the place.  Not unusual to see different tests get 1 second difference in 1/4 mile.

Best time I've seen for stock Challenger T/A is 14.3 @ 99 mph (Wiki), so not surprised to see what is probably a worst time of 15.4, just over a second slower than best time.

There are many reviews with 6.1 Challenger running low 13's.  Not sure what was wrong (driver or car?) with the 6.1 in the video, but they were running more than a full second worse than what a stock 6.1 is capable of.  Motor Trend got a 13.1 out of a 2009 6.1 when the Challenger was first introduced.
