Viper vs Hemi Challenger
And in this corner, Kenn Funk’s factory-original 1970 Challenger SE represented the old school during our Mopar shootout. While we didn’t wind the Elephant engine out in an attempt to dynamite it at every shift, we did get it leaning in the corners just a wee bit. The Goodyear Polyglas F60s are on the ragged edge here. Testing of these cars on the skidpad resulted in fairly representative numbers for the day. And on a good day, the Hemi Challenger, with about 57 percent of its 3900 pounds on the front wheels, might pull about 0.71g. The Viper? Well, it rearranged our innards with 0.96g of grip. That round goes to the Viper--hands down. View Related Article
