there are quite a few guys around here who have they're r/ts inot the 12's and 11's......a stock regular cab is low 15s.......they sound badass stock, but they aren't too fast.......i just helped my brother-in-law pull a twin turbo 408 set up out of his r/t today......he just got it done and the exhaust needs coated and a new tranny is going in.......here are a few pics....http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jdu.../ph//my_photos.

Those trucks run like they're tied to a tree. When my Challenger 340 was a stock smog engine it would pull 8-9 car lengths on one. It's a shame the sacred R/T badge has been dragged through the mud like that! They can be modded to run pretty fast though.

I raced one once when I was stock, he had a 2-2.5 car lead because I wasn't planning on racing. As soon as I punched it, I was at his door by 60, and it got embarassing real quick.
