Which is better to accel. while Gear in 'D' or using the 5-speed manual?

Play around with both transmission settings and find what's right for you, post up what you have for 0-60.

All modles have a governor, the RT and Daytona are set around 140 mph, stock the Daytona is set a little highr than the RT.

Well, I thought there are many ppl. around who have tried it out!

Maybe, somebody has run 0-60 or 1/4 mile already!

According to a car magazine, Dodge Charger V8 5.7, needs to get up to 60 mph is 6.1 and 14 sec to cover a 1/4 mile!

The 5.7 can go into the 13`s in the quarter stock. 0 to 60 times will vary depending on conditions and all.

I, myself have seen no difference if using "d" or autostick for acceleration.
