I played around with a two-door Challenger R/T with a Stage 1 and just walked away from him easily. They would probably be a better race for a stock GTI for sure. I know a stock R would still walk on them.
I just traded in my 2014 100th anniversary charger RT for my 17 GTI SE. Weight was close to 4500lbs. The 5.7L hemi is rated at 370hp/395tq. I had the 3.06 rear end in mine, so it was rated at like 5.2s 0-60 and like 13.3-13.4-ish in the 1/4 mile. Not slow, but much more of a cruiser. It moved pretty good for a big, comfy car. I loved it, just missed having a hatch and more nimble handling in traffic. Absolutely in love with my GTI. My first German car ever.
