Took a 5.7L Challenger for a spin today!!
I'm not going into details on how I got to do so, but I did get to take a 2009 5.7L Challenger for a spin today. WOW. Definitely has more get up and go than a 300C. I was very impressed. However, I cannot compare it to a 6.1L as I have not yet gone for a ride/driven an SRT-8. From the butt dyno I'd say the estimated 380hp is right on the money. The exhaust note sounds great for stock. I can only imagine how good it would sound w/ and aftermarket setup! The only complaints I have are that the plastic dash looks cheap, the steering wheel does not look like it belongs in an American muscle car, and the placement of the rear windows causes big blind spots.
