Huh!?!.... I think you're talking about the old base 340 hp v-8 Hemiautomatic Charger. It's not real fast.There was a magazine comparo of those two and yeah, the G-8 looked better.The Challenger is not even out yet and the G-8 does not and will not becompared to it. The Challenger is a two door coupe. All of the 1st year Challengers will be a 425hpSRT-8 version. The second year will be able to be had with different v-6 and v-8 options as well as choices of manual or auto transmissions. The base v-8 Hemi in the Challenger in year two will have around 380 hp as well. I want the second year Challenger......bad.

GT V8 model - 361hp/385ftlbs - 6spd Auto (6spd Manual due out in 09) - 0-60 in 5.3 seconds
GXP V8 model - 402hp/400ftlbs - 6spd Manual Tremec 6060 - 0-60 in 4.7 seconds (faster then an SRT-8 Charger)
They're using the LS3 (New Corvette Engine) for the GXP model, and it's not a slouch at all...
Granted I dont see the comparison because one is a coupe the other is a sedan.....however, this is essentially the same setup that will be used on the new Camaro in late 09......so expect to see those numbers some more....altho the Camaro Z28 will have in excess of 450hp.
