I'll predict mid to low 13's.

Maybe high 12's with a good driver.

Just my predictions.

Did anyone read this?

Challenger wheel sizes should run from 17" to 20", with no spare tires on any models (and no run-flats), tire service kits will be included.

The exterior looks pretty close to the concept but the interior is kind of boring.

0-60 in 4.9 seconds
Zero to 100 mph and back in under 17 seconds
Quarter-mile times 13.3 seconds
60-0 braking of 110 feet
The interior is disapointing. I will have to get used to it....

Curb weight is 4,140

Too bad they could not have brought it in under 3,500.

No manual trans? GAY!!!!! As someone else said the 300hp mustang can hang with it and for a lot cheaper. I don't see the point of a high powered sports car with an automatic trans, but that is just me Plus that car gets as many MPG as MY TRUCK!!!!!!

The newer automatics have closed the gap with manuals but I also hate autos in sports or hotrod cars.
