Dodge Challenger R/T

The Dodge Challenger R/T reaches 60 mph in 4.79 s (100 km/h in 5.04 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.36 s, tripping the lights at 104.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.08 s and the eighth mile in 8.63 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.16 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Challenger R/T

The 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T is a rear-drive naturally aspirated muscle car of 1,882 kg with 375 bhp, which works out at 200 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 200 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.08 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,937th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 25th quickest of the 60 Dodges here. Its 104.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Dodge Challenger R/T 0-60 time?
The Dodge Challenger R/T reaches 60 mph in 4.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,937th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Dodge Challenger R/T quarter mile time?
13.36 s at 104.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.63 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.08 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Dodge Challenger R/T have?
375 bhp and 1,882 kg, which is 200 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 227 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Dodge Challenger R/T?
Closest here on pace: Pontiac GTO Royal Bobcat Special (4.79 s), Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (4.79 s), Maybach 62 (V240) 5.5 V12 550 (4.80 s). Each one can be raced against the Dodge Challenger R/T in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Dodge Challenger R/T is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
