Drag Race Video: Supercharged Dodge Challenger R/T vs Supercharged Toyota Tundra – Road Test TV
January 6th, 2013 by Road Test TV
Dodge’s Challenger has been an iconic muscle car since its introduction in 1970. In 1970, the top dog powerplant was the tire shredding 426 cubic inch, 425 horsepower dual-quad Hemi. In 2013, you can still order a Challenger with a Hemi – a 470 horsepower, 392 cubic inch 6.4 liter Hemi. However, for some, a nearly 500 horsepower Hemi Challenger is not enough. The video below proves that point.
The factory Hemi engine was pulled from the B5 Blue Challenger in the video, and in its place sits a 419 cubic inch Modern Muscle Hemi stroker. Perched on top of the 419 is a 2.8 Liter Kenne-Bell Supercharger. The power is put to the ground via a Paramount modified transmission, driveshaft and rear end.
Lining up next to the Challenger is a V8 powered Toyota Tundra; however, it is not exactly stock. This bad pick up from the east, also has a supercharger. It has a TRD blower, performance exhaust and a modified torque converter. To keep things cool, the Tundra has a Killer Chiller refrigerating the air that is swallowed by the motor. The result is a low 12 second cargo hauler.
Enjoy the video.

It’s as fast as mine and I drive mine to school everyday. 15 MPG too lol

That Challenger sounds awesome. The Tundra is a daily driven work truck.
Al, hope you can make it to the next event on the 27th.

January 07, 2013 at 1:13 pm, TundraMiami said:
Tundra is street legal. It is basically stock with some bolt-ons and a TRD blower.

January 08, 2013 at 9:23 am, brando s said:

January 08, 2013 at 9:33 am, stephen4177 said:
Now it’s modded missy .
January 08, 2013 at 10:33 am, brando s said:
Where did i say mine was modded? This goes back to the whole reading thing…Try it sometime.

A modded tundra wants nothing to do with a modded typhoon.word for word by u!
January 08, 2013 at 11:11 am, brando s said:
exactly ….where does it say anywhere that mine is modded …Lol. you cant even read what you type. Sounds like your the one that needs to go back to school.. I bet you live in your moms basement though
January 08, 2013 at 11:20 am, stephen4177 said:
6 comments down get back to school.
January 08, 2013 at 9:33 pm, brando s said:
Hmm… still trying to find where it says my typhoon is modded…Could you be referring to the fact that you were showing me lots of videos of modded tundras for what reason i don’t know.. But, then in response to you showing modded trucks that aren’t yours.. i did the same.. Logic and reasoning is tough to grasp. you might get it one day. But i doubt it because your a giant douche.

Good Race…the guys at AMP did a hell of a job on that challenger. Out of respect though that Tundra Sure is fast!!!!

Man that Hemi Challenger sounds great. The Toyota….well it sounds like a Toyota…yuk!

fast truck
January 29, 2013 at 11:15 pm, Christopher Nolen said:
Poor truck? That Tundra is just about stock other than the exhaust, tires and Chiller system and its heavier. The Challenger was stroked+. No pissing match just saying.
January 30, 2013 at 9:42 am, blazzing4321 said:
That pickup would be a badass truck …if it wasn’t a Toyota lol
February 08, 2013 at 7:16 am, 135yota said:
I think both of them ran great! And that Tundra sounds awesome, so stop hating..and I think that Challenger looks awesome too.
February 12, 2013 at 6:09 pm, 800hennessy said:
Just about stock huh….it has a supercharger.
February 16, 2013 at 1:48 am, MNS720 said:
It still is a truck vs a car. Major props to the truck thow
February 20, 2013 at 5:58 am, Marcos AA said:
LMAO he even mentions the Chiller… what would be the point of a chiller with out forced induction… smh. o well.
February 27, 2013 at 3:46 pm, Mario Fernandez said:
Fuckin dumbass why the fuck will yuu say if it wasnt made by toyota it b badass

not bad for a fullsize truck to keep up with that
March 05, 2013 at 2:17 am, Arbustus Californica said:
will buy tundra
March 07, 2013 at 9:07 pm, 92ASC said:
lol and like the challenger was stock too? plus the truck weighs an extra 1000 lbs.
March 17, 2013 at 12:11 am, gabrielchattoo18 said:
Lol now do a tug of war contest lol and see which one wins O·······O
April 06, 2013 at 12:21 am, Peyton Brown said:
Challenger should have went against the white g8 at 0:20.
That would have been a better match up
April 25, 2013 at 10:15 pm, Gabedaman30 said:
Fucking TURDra owners think their crappy truck are fast. If the asshole raced the MOPAR it´s because he thought he had a chance. Nobody races because they know they will lose.
April 25, 2013 at 10:16 pm, Gabedaman30 said:
That TURDra will not tow for shit. It´s no good racing and no good towing.
April 25, 2013 at 10:17 pm, Gabedaman30 said:
Who cares. If you like shitty trucks, then suit yourself.
April 25, 2013 at 10:17 pm, Gabedaman30 said:
It is actually really bad if yoy knew how much is invested in the truck.
April 25, 2013 at 10:34 pm, gabrielchattoo18 said:
Wat r u saying the tundra was the 1st 1/2 ton truck back in 2007 to tow 1000 lb ? Now they for 2011 an one they gave it tow haul which puts it to 10900 lbs it can tow .
April 26, 2013 at 1:31 am, Gabedaman30 said:
It will not tow consistently that much weight without bending the frame.
April 26, 2013 at 2:50 pm, gabrielchattoo18 said:
Well I have a tundra that will not strain so idk wat u talkin about !?!?!
May 03, 2013 at 1:53 pm, Allen Ortiz said:
have you ever been to a race track? you dont always race cars you think you can win against. they pair you off and you win or lose based on your individual time. shut up about things you don’t know. and yes i am a tundra owner, no I don’t race it.
May 03, 2013 at 2:17 pm, Gabedaman30 said:
Nobody forced him now did they? If you enter the competition with a truck, then you should know ultimately you will not be able to compete.
May 03, 2013 at 3:36 pm, Allen Ortiz said:
Come on bro is for the why not factor. It’s something you do just cause you can

Had a gut feeling the challenger would win. Can’t deny the Tundra for effort. Not a bad show for a truck!
May 21, 2013 at 10:25 pm, Jeremy Ferron said:
Well, i’m a mopar guy, and a 12.16 from a truck is pretty respectable, shame he red lighted the tree.

that truck is fast but tundras are the gay trucks.
May 29, 2013 at 10:27 am, TundraMiami said:
This truck has no problem towing 9000 lbs. This truck ran in the high 11s without a tune.

10 Second R/T? Not bad, not bad at all
June 09, 2013 at 7:43 pm, Dino Pace said:
This was a drag race, not a tug of war. Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight, LOL!
June 09, 2013 at 7:45 pm, Dino Pace said:
I wouldn’t call a second and a half behind keeping up. Still a fast-assed truck, though.
June 10, 2013 at 5:05 am, jcot2773 said:
true, still keeping up for what it is in my eyes lol
June 10, 2013 at 2:34 pm, Dino Pace said:
A second and a half difference is an eternity in the quarter mile, no matter how you slice it. Like I said, the Tundra is very fast, as fast as a Cadillac CTS-V!

They’ve stroked it out quite a ways, that’s actually nearly a 6.9 L engine if the 419 ci that the say in the vid is accurate.
Challenger is super sexy 😉

That’s a huge engine in the challenger. I was hoping for a 5.7 to get an idea of what a super charger would do on mine.

Tundra is awesome there, wow.
October 03, 2013 at 10:39 pm, Gage Postl said:
No they don’t. They have a electronically controlled “LSD”. It uses traction control to apply brakes to the spinning wheel to send power through the open differential to the tire with traction. I own a 2011 Tundra TRD. its garbage and should have a real LSD.

i know what your saying but i think your confused by what i said,my truck is a plain jane,i dont have the vsc switch or anything,i have crank windows no option just a cd player,if im taking a sharp left turn out of a parking lot for example my left tire goes chirp chirp chirp,ive not once ever felt the right tire sping then the left,it lays down 2 tire patches,i thnk its actually a mechanical lsd at most i know 1st generations you had to order then(bought my truck used)where 2nd gen its standard

Guarantee a Turbocharged cummins would smoke that Challenger.
October 31, 2013 at 1:48 am, camraguy93 said:
so a stock 1989 dodge cummins with a glorious 160 hp and 400 lb/ft torque is gonna run 10s? yeah you might wanna re word your statement there
November 07, 2013 at 7:54 pm, ToAstYNaChO said:
+camraguy93 no, i was thinking more along the lines of a 2013 6.7 with 385
HP and 850 lb-ft torque.

that tundra

A stock cummins would not even beat the tundra much less the chally. Now a
heavily modified cummins is a whole different story

I wonder what the Haters have as a truck…probably some bulls**** old as

April 25, 2014 at 10:08 am, ldillow1 said:
Put the stock 5.7 block and a supercharger back in the Challenger and you
would have a different race…Neither of them came supercharged and the
Toyota still retains its factory internals, and is way heavier. If the
toyota was stroked to 419ci as well we would also have a different
outcome…
April 26, 2014 at 7:45 pm, Stephen watson said:
Dave suton@ seriously a 54 hundred lb truck running 11s vs a supercharged
6.2 challenger. U know that truck can tow 10,500 lbs has a payload of over
2 thousands lbs and can run 11 sec in the quarter?
June 19, 2014 at 5:07 pm, Matthew Hodges said:
If it were the srt8 it would have been 6.1 not 6.2 but it was just an r/t
so its only the 5.7
