WOWHUH said:Last night at Wal Mart, I was reading Road and Track (i think) and it was comparing the GTO to the SRT 8 Charger. They were rating the GTO at 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. I think the SRT 8 Charger is nice and has good power but I hate how everyone is testing the GTO in such a bad manner. Always using a 6speed for 1/4 mile times and screwing it up. I know the auto is more consistant and the manual takes skill for take offs. Comparing these two cars would be a drivers race. These magazines are pissing me off!
wow thats impressiveStangStalker said:the only mod i have is a CAI and i pulled a 4.5 0-60 with an A4

I think the charger won over the 300 (compared to the GTO) due to the fact it's so ultra aerodynamic.:lol: I think these guys know what car they want to win and drive accordingly!tiger gto said:...What is a bit odd now to me is that the 06' SRT-8 Charger with the 6.1 hemi was shown to be outrunned from 0-60, & the quarter mile by the 05' GTO in the dec. issue of MT!
The Charger SRT-8 is as heavy as the chrysler 300, yet..in that earlier MT article, they had the Chrysler 300 running a 4.9 sec. 0-60, the caddy at 4.7, & the GTO running the slowest 0-60 in 5.0.
Respectively...they had the GTO being the slowest in the quarter too?...
:agree I've managed to stick with C6 (not Z06 damn thing whiped my butt) 05 Mustangs, old GT's on NOS, M3s (Very Close battle, mainly a skill oriented race rather than machine talent) CLK 55 AMG's, AND MY GREATEST AND RAREST KILL black Ferrari F355 (back home down in Miami on Biscayne Blvd)tiger gto said:they WILL WHIP almost everything out there stock for stock excluding the new C-6 corvettes due to weight factors, & will also outgun almost everything STOCK unless one is willing to SPEND well over 50 thousand dollars!
Yes...the 05' / 06' GTO's are incredibly fast, & powerful, & the owners of all the others already KNOW it. Had the Charger SRT-8 w/ the 6.1 hemi been about 300-400 pounds lighter; ...I believe they would then be making the claim that I am right now about the GTO's, & they probably would be correct in doing so, ..although it would STILL be close, ...but certainly more honest!
Fact, ..the 05'/06' GTO's will beat all the above in "almost" every encounter in strait line performance, ..& that is NO embellishment whatsoever! (except the C-6 corvettes!)
Lets not forget one other important point on these two cars (the GTO is faster than the SRT Charger - IMHO - I drove both) & that is the price. 10K more for the Charger SRT - if you can get one (limited production) and they are charging 5K over sticker if you want to buy. For almost 50K - Chrysler can keep it - and I really wanted an SRT when first announced but then the GTO came along.WOWHUH said:I think the charger won over the 300 (compared to the GTO) due to the fact it's so ultra aerodynamic.:lol: I think these guys know what car they want to win and drive accordingly!
I think the GTO vs the SRT 8 Charger/300 would be a drivers race. The best thing about those cars is the 4 doors. However, I prefer the interior of the GTO greatly over the others.
