Here are some pics I snapped of the speed while on vacation a couple weeks ago. Colorado is AMAZING. There are some really fun roads out there and great sights.

Yeah from a 40 roll, pretty even until about 80-90 then he started walking me.

where did you go?

I'm from Minneapolis, so we had to go through South Dakota (blah) and then down through Wyoming to Colorado. We then proceeded to spend half a week making a big circle in Colorado driving on any road that looked fun and scenic.

Yeah, any more pics of the Challanger SRT-8?

 

[Ajburr]

Nah that was the only good one. I have a pic of it in my side mirror a ways back, that's about it. We stopped at a rest area about a half hour later and they came flying by us but I didn't have the camera out :/.

It looks like the Dodge Challenger SRT8 beats us by .6 seconds to 60 mph and .7 seconds to the 1/4 mile and it traps 7 mph faster and beats us by 17 mph on the top end. On the positive side, our Mazdaspeed 3's will haul more stuff and stop 8 feet quicker from 70-0 mph.

2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8

Thanks to that monster motor and a short first gear, the Challenger does earn a dollop of street cred, hitting 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, charging through the quarter-mile in 13.3 at 108 mph, and running to a drag-limited top speed of 168 mph.

[pointysticks]

I wish I had this car back when I lived in CO.
but then again i had a nice 4x4 truck back then.

Car performed really well. She ate a little bit of oil coming down from Pike's Peak but I wasn't really surprised it was engine brake city almost the whole way down. As far as gas mileage I got about 28mpg most of the time on the interstate, give or take 1 or 2 depending on the winds, it was pretty windy most of the week.
