A stock Dodge Challenger SRT8 and a numbers-matching 1970 340 Six Pack Challenger T/A run six straight quarter-mile races, swapping drivers for the final two to separate skill from machine. According to an owner of both cars, the SRT8 trapped 107 mph while the vintage T/A, running on a worn original transmission, hit 115.90 mph. See how a fifty-year-old sleeper kept pace with a modern factory performance car.
A factory 6.1 liter Challenger SRT8 ran six quarter-mile passes against a numbers-matching 1970 Challenger T/A powered by its original 340 Six Pack engine, then the drivers swapped cars for the final two runs. One viewer said the old T/A ran a 12-second pass despite missing a gear, while another swore they’d never seen the modern SRT8 run that slow. A commenter who owns both cars revealed his girlfriend was driving the new Challenger in her first-ever stick shift track session. So which car actually won?
