what? It looks like the charger with the hemi is the fastest...I don't know how you even got explorer especially when both the vic and the impala ran faster then it...and basically everything else.

Unless I read it wrong, it looked like all of them did 0-60 in 8 sec or more. Then again, I didn't look at everything on the list.

Charger and magnum's did it in 6.52 and 6.55 respectively...the charger topped out at 150mph, and all 4 versions scored highest in braking.
