Six-Speeds leave too much room for driver error, traction/wheel hop issues, etc. Stock 5.7L auto Challenger is capable of mid to low 13s in good air. Remember, the '09 5.7L is much improved over the 2005-08.

All I did was disengage the ESP (Traction Control), did a moderate burnout to put heat the tires and left at 1200 RPM. If the track has bite, you can bump the launch speed to 1500 RPM which does improve the ET. Frito's Challenger was not broken in (it less than 2500 miles on it), therefore the factory tune was still in the "fat mode". Our orange '08 Charger Daytona development vehicle (5.7L Hemi) has gone 13.69 with not much done to it in less than ideal conditions.

I only pulled the stock air filter and lowered the rear tire pressure. Another guy on the east coast recently ran 13.19 totally as it comes off the showroom floor. With headers and full exhaust, limited slip, stall converter, and drag radials I ran a best of 12.54. With 100 shot of nitrous I ran 11.69. So far the auto RT's are laying down the best times. The 6 spds seem to be running slower due to wheel hop issues. I race weekly with some friends with an 09 SRT8 6spd and their best time is 13.20's. They run the same mods as me except the catback exhaust.
