'99 Z28 vs '09 Charger R/T
 
I have a '99 Z28 LS1 Camaro that is a 6 speed manual. It is all stock except for FlowMasters cat back. My roommate got an automatic '09 Dodge Daytona Charger R/T. It is completely stock. He let me drive it and it is a pretty smooth ride, but it doesn't feel as powerful as my car IMO. How do you think a race would go between our cars?

Camaro all day long

Even the 425bhp srt8 does 0-100 in mid 16s. A camaro will hit 100 in around 13s

Yeah, those SRT's have about 800 extra pounds of weight to carry around.

Charger is so damn heavy! The R/T is rated @ what 376 HP @ crank? The Z will dispatch it just fine with the Charger packing nearly a half a ton of extra mass & the automatic seems less than performance oriented. I drove one of the R/T's & didn't get too excited.

The camaro all day long, like they said its two heavy and the auto is not very sporty IMO

Well he is talking like it is so quick, but the thing is I drove it and even did the auto stick and it still felt slower than my car. It is a nice car though

camaro`s are just aggressive by nature.. the only logical explanation ;D

Chargers are "Whales on Wheels"

It is actually 368 I believe, and I did some research and found that the Charger weighs a little over 4150lbs, which is about 650lbs more than the '99 Z28? I am finally getting around to getting the SLP CAI, ABL, and Bellow, after having my car for 3 years now... (college takes a lot of money, lol)
