2019 3.6 V6 AWD 0-60

My best 0-60mph time was last night with a time of 5.8sec. This is my 2019 3.6 V6 AWD Challenger SXT (100% completely stock). It was 11° last night, and I launched at 1500rpm. I was also in sport mode and on level ground! I tried launching with no preload (meaning idol rpms) and the car had to much hesitation and would run 0-60 in 6.2-6.3sec. I also tried laughing at 2000rpm and did have any jump off line. 1500rpm launch is BEST!

 

Not bad for a V6 pushing a 4000 lb car down the road and I do mean that with all due respect. Go on YouTube and you can witness a like equipped car on the German autobahn running at an observed speed of around 135-140 mph. These new transmissions get most of the glory here, IMO. Back in the day with a 4 speed manual or a 3 speed auto the engines would wrap up to redline fairly quick with a lower top end due to no overdrives that we now enjoy in the modern transmissions. I would like to see one of Mopar's classic V8s with a modern 8 speed auto or the 6 speed Tremac behind it.....I can imagine a '70 Challenger 440 6 pack or a 426 Hemi running 180 mph top on the autobahn with the right tranny behind it.

Keep the shiny side up and keep an eye out for those that are sworn to protect us from ourselves.

 

So you put it in drive, held the brake, revved up to 1500 and floored it? I have done 5.9 in my Stock V6.

 

Yes sir!! Yeah 1500rpm seems to be key!

 

I’ll try it after the snow and ice clears off our roads. I normally just take my foot off the break and floor it.

 

Yes AWD! Yeah, hold 1500, then let off brake and slam down the pedal. I jumped off the line hard. Rwd maybe bee a little different, so play around with it. You will find a perfect launch, just may take a couple of tries!

 

Mine is rear wheel drive.

 

Impressive.
My best was 4.7sec with the stock ZR's with lack of traction
Three sets of other tires and only 5.2-5.6sec spinning in 1st & 2nd, chirps in 3rd.
Waiting for Spring and will get a pair of Nitto's and see what happens.
Probably start breaking parts once I get traction.

 

Thanks! Yeah on of these days I will get myself an SRT!! They are badass! But at the moment AWD is wait I need! Btw 4.7sec if AWESOME!
