6.1? No. 6.4? Yep. Some on Challengertalk.com have gone 12-teens or better. M6 or A5?

392 auto would do it pretty easy.manual would take some practice.a 6.1 would do it with some cheap low budget mods

I drove a bone stock 2012 srt 8 automatic, after many runs in the 13's, the last run of the day 12.99 almost no tire spin. Stock I don't see it happening 
I think that car needs the driver mod, I haven't seen any automatics running that slow. 12.60 seems to be what they run with a newb behind the wheel, heat soaked from the drive there and a bad launch. With a more experienced approach they will run 12.2's / 12.3's
Here's a stock 6-speed running 12.40

There have been Chargers running 12.1 on stock rubber, cutting 1.7 60 foots.

My cousin has a '12 392 SRT 8 6 spd. His best so far is in the low 13/ high 12 range. I would like to think he is a good driver and there is not much to be gained without slicks. With slicks, I think it could be possible. Bone stock, with ZERO mods I would have to see it to believe it. I'm from Missouri, so you will have to "show me." 
Go to Challengertalk, look around. Sure some of them have videos. There's probably 7-8 I posted that are Challengers and stock. Automatics are faster, or at least easier to e.t.. Less torque management, from what I understand, too.
Don't know how else to 'show you'. Guess those 8 or so guys are lying since you haven't seen it??

I have 35 years of seat time, (not a newb here) bone stock with factory tires it just won't do it
There are quite a few guys with times posted and time slips to back it up that say you're wrong. But okay...

There was an SRT8 auto at the last test n tune I was at. The DA was about 540 feet. I don't know if it was a 6.4 or 6.1. It had exhaust on it and drag radials and ran 13.30s all day long.

The guys on the LX forum have turned low 12s repeatedly with the 6.4....... BUT,,,they ALL run sticky tyres...... The cars all MPH real well..... So the truth is that anything better than a high 12 needs sticky rubber and good air.

So would you say a stock 6.1 is a low 13 second car and a stock 6.4 is a real 12 second car?
From what I have seen, yes. A 6.1 ran the last time I went to the track and ran a 13.68. Not sure if an auto or stick. But I ran a 13.78 in my 5.7 so Idk if he wasn't hooking or had issues or just didn't know how to drive it.
