I have a 2010 XF Supercharged, assuming I have the car tuned to or above XFR (500+hp) levels, can it best one of the newer (2015-2018) stock Dodge SRT or Scat Pack Challengers? I am thinking yes. Just wondering if anyone on here has ran against the newer Dodges. Thank you.

 

Went to the drag strip a few times with user "2010 Kyanite XFR" and "Bigg Will".

A tuned 2010 XF Supercharged should have no issue running away from the 6.4L Hemi powered SRT Scat Pack cars. The Challenger 392's were running on average of about half a second or more slower in ET with traps speeds 5mph or more down from our cars. Though we were in tuned 2010 and 2011 XFR's, a tuned XF Supercharged should perform near identical.

 

Me vs a Hellcat. It was one of my slowest runs because I had wheel hop and I ran a 12.8 but my fastest time stock is a 12.47. He managed a 12.1 that run and got around me at about 1000ft.
In this video my car was BONE STOCK

 

What are you guys using for tires when you go to the strip? Are you using drag radials or just your regular street tires?

 

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06.

 

It boils down to lbs per HP and traction. Driver skill helps a bit, too.

The SRT-type cars are better suited to drag racing. The drivetrains and cooling systems are very, very strong and overbuilt.

I don't know if that can be said of the Jaguars.

I have both. And both are street cars only.

You can bet the SRT has a larger aftermarket support and will be cheaper to repair than the Jaguar.

Talk to guys like patrickw813 and don't try to re-invent the wheel. It'll save you time and money in the long run.

Good luck and have fun.

 

Thanks. I have owned BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, also old American muscle/pony cars. I certainly understand cars of the Euro variety are more expensive to maintain than our American cars. My question is will my 2010 XF Supercharged , beat a SRT/Scat pack Challenger in the 1/4 mile? The conclusion is Yes, it can. Both cars are terribly overweight. I have seen a 335i N54 outrun a SRT, when it was tuned up to around 400whp.

 

There are plenty of sleepers out there. Like the Subarus and the GT-R's.

 

You are absolutely right. That is what I love about my XF Supercharged, its low key sleeperness. Most people around here (Oklahoma) don't know much about them, or the power levels. Tons of Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers and Chargers, thats what we have here in this area.

 

I can definitely say that your car with a proper tune and pulley, and good tires, should be able to beat a SRT8 or Scat Pack variant.

Hellcats forget it... unless the driver doesn't know what they are doing.

Demons, even with a crappy driver will roast a properly tuned car...

Both cars are heavy, and both will suffer with traction off the line... Tires alone made a huge difference in my 1/4 mile times. I went from 12.5's to 11's just by going with a slightly wider and more importantly better tire (Michellins in lieu of Pirellis). I detail my drag strip escapades in this thread: 1/4 mile drag times for XFR-S

Most SRT8's and Scat Packs will be running mid to low 12's with around 114 to 115mph, and even with a tune and pulley, and tires, I would expect you to be running low 12's or possibly high 11's depending on your track conditions and location (elevation), more importantly your trap speed should be significantly higher, so 117+mph (if not more).

Best of luck, and keep us updated on your progress

 

I ran my car stock (2010 XF Supercharged) vs 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 at 1/4 mile track and won. I ran a 12.5 just a hair under a 12.6. Challenger ran a low 12.7. This is what I noticed- in low to mid range speeds the two cars are almost identical. It's in the top end speeds 100+mph where the XF seems to edge out the Dodge.

 

I've left so many SRT's and Scat Pacs on the freeway (In Mexicali..lol), I just don't even challenge them anymore. At the strip it would be all about knowing how to drive your car, traction and RE action.

 

I have a 2011 jaguar xf supercharged and i beat 392s and scat packs by like 5-6 cars from a 50mph roll my mods: upper pulley,custom cai,high flow charge pump,catless,xpipe,and no mufflers on drag radials. One of my friends has an m5 f10 and he only beats me by 1 car from a 50 roll. I also beat a 2011 cts v from a roll by like 4 cars

 

I'm with Bill Will that i don't waste my time anymore w/ any of the Mopars! My stock SC walks away from them all the time. I've ran 12.6's @111 w/ my car at track so it's a little faster than most stock SC's I've seen timeslips on. Not sure why as I'm not even a good driver at the track!
But I think a SC Jag should easily handle SRTs and Scat Pacs...

 

One of the guys brought their stock Hellcat to the track recently. We didn't go head to head but his best time was around 11.6 so I just pipped him with 11.5 but his top end was 3 mph more than mine.

He was struggling with traction though so probably could have gone a lot quicker.

 

a well tuned xf would dust a 392 and would be really close with a hellcat.i beat hellcats with just basic boltons from a roll and digs.

 

Don't know about racing, but as in terms of quality i strongly believe the Challenger srt 8 is better i own both a xfr 2010 and Challenger SRT8 2013, that thing is superb, incredible brakes, the xfr brakes are really bad in comparison, the hemi engine is much better built, very reliable, never ever had any sort of problems, just oil change and that's it, on the other hand we all know what the xfr engine involves. The mileage on the Challenger is just mind blowing, if driven normally it shuts of half of the engine runs on 4 cyl.

 

You did pretty good on that video against the Vette. Did you ever get tuned after porting the supercharger?
