I'd like to be the 1st to volunteer to help you test your 2 cars (willing to drive either one/both for the tests).

At least in that case, it would appear that the GT500 won the day... in the second race...


But as a side note, 90% of the time, when people are videoing roll racing, SOMEBODY gets the hit (as in the first race in this video, even after they reset). The guy counting down needs some work on his timing and counting too.

I always assumed the 500 would beat a RE on a roll. It generally traps a little higher in the 1/4 mile. On the strip the RE will best it 90% of the time from an ET stand point tho. Looking forward to see you tests though

I don't trust results from anyone who wears a mask & latex gloves while racing in his own car :rolleyes:

So the Charger has 90 less HP then the Challenger RE and the results look very similar.....Either someone on the Mopar side forgot where the gas pedal is or there's some nonsense going on.

Getting the hit when two cars are very fast is a big deal no doubt. The GT500 from a roll is not going to go very well for a stock tune Redeye, and as far as the Charger, never know who is stock or not anymore...

Every time in the videos, I see the Ford shutting down at about 150+/-, and knowing just how hard a RE can pull to 150mph hooked up correctly I am skeptical. @ChargerChallenger go run them. If you don’t soon, when we can get to DC again, I’ll let you know and I’ll volunteer to pilot the RE.

I’d like to see a 30 roll with the two cars. I’ll just throw the Redeye in second gear and mash the thing with my drag radials on.. I’d bet money the Redeye pulls on it initially probably half a car.

I can volunteer to ride shotgun to count!

If for some reason, they stop me at the border, this guy comes highly recommended ...

Leave the RE in auto, press the accelerator slowly but consistently to the floor. As long as it hooks up, let the 800 hp and the tranny/computer do the rest. I have seen magazine writer after magazine writer playing with those paddle shifters and EVERY ONE of them has lost.

Again, look at the results of the MT giant drag race. From 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile the Redeye was only bettered by an Aston and a McLaren. I have seen 100’s of rolls myself on the courses, and the RE never gets left behind like those videos show, NEVER.

Here, this is the results of several pretty tough new model high performance cars all at WOT. The best gauge on a roll from approx 130-180+ is here....

If you guys recall... I listed all of the reasons this would happen in the GT500 introductory thread... I hurt a lot of feelings there... but my statements all came to fruition :p

FWIW - in the first video - there was a passenger in the RE during the race. The video guy said there wouldn't be. I believe a passenger in both is fair... if you drive a fat pig of a car you should be punished accordingly.

Can I just say one thing.. I was on the back roads the other day.. I have this one spot about 3 miles in length through the woods 2 lane road.. no cars around.. 2 straights about a mile and the other section is 2 opposite slow sweepers left and right.. I was able to take the sweepers pretty easily In 4 gear about 80mph Using paddle shifters And I’m rolling roughly around the 4000rpm mark there.. coming out of the sweepers the car just absolutely rips.. the RE I notice especially in that 60-120 mph sweet spot with the 3.09 gears. It’s just oh my goodness fast.. now this is the 3rd time I’ve hit up this spot.. now I’m not a professional track driver.. but I’d say I’m an experienced amateur.. I think on a road course scenario and Gatz you can correct me if I’m wrong.. but this car with 797hp has just the perfect amount of power on the street.. in the right settings. I use 9/10 to 10/10 of the power on the street.. you know you watch these YouTube videos you always laugh when people say well you can only use 3/10 or 4/10 of the power.. sure that’s true in normal traffic settings.. but I guess what I’m saying is I literally don’t care and wouldn’t be surprised if the gt500 pulls on the Redeye 120 plus.. but man this RE on a nice backroad setting Is literally about as extreme power wise as you will ever need. I think with 900hp like just doing the lower pulley on the car and minor mods I will eventually do that but dang guys.. this car takes the right driver stock power as is..
