For somebody who needs his dad to help put on winter tires, your ability to provide an accurate assessment of the 1320’s capabilities is in question.
The fact that you question the 1320’s capabilities without taking it to a track shows it’s not the car for you. Dodge said it was capable of 11.7 on the quarter mile; it‘s been documented doing far better in it’s showroom configuration. But how would you be able to asses it’s capabilities having simply driven it on a cold public road?
this is the thing,i just bought a set of rims from hellrasin to change over to all season tires on my widebody as the summer tires are not rated for under 45 degrees. i was out yesterday at 50 degrees and they were slick, id say quarter throtttle had the 305's spinning.
you cannot seriously buy a car with drag radials and try and access its performance on a cool unprepped road surface in the fall, you can also not forget the mustang is way lighter so it takes less horespower and traction to get it moving.
i think this challenger thing may just be too much for medsport, he was hoping for a stop light rocket and now finds the 1320 needs more ideal situations to put it's power to the road. thats why i picked up a widebody as to me it is more suited to street driving equipped with all season tires and it is still far from ideal it appears in the fall.
i will admidt i did not know the max summers would we limited to really 60 degrees and up for decent traction... i just dropped mine off at the heated storage till next spring. so ill likely be picking up a set of Michelin all seasons in 315's to see how they run next spring.
