SpeedFactory tuners have taken claim to a world record for the Chrysler LX/LC Platform running the quarter mile in 9.453 seconds at 143.38mph.

SpeedFactory set out to accomplish something never been done before at the South Georgia Motorsports Park, push a late model Charger literally to its limits.

The 2006 Dodge Charger uses its infamous 426 HEMI that gets some help from a V7 YSI supercharger to pump out an astounding 900 horsepower. The car weighs in at 3,750 lbs due to the stripped interior.

SpeedFactory 426 Charger Again Sets World Record Quarter Mile Time for Chrysler LX/LC Platform Vehicles

Atlanta, GA, January 27, 2010- On January 23, 2010, SpeedFactory’s 426 Charger completed the quarter mile in 9.453 seconds with a trap speed of 145.38 mph at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, Georgia. According to records kept by the LXForums.com moderators, SpeedFactory bested all previous quarter mile times set by actual production LX/LC-platform cars- modern Dodge Chargers, Challengers, Magnums and Chrysler 300Cs. SpeedFactory driver Eddie Rosa piloted the Charger.

SpeedFactory, in collaboration with partners Landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep, Vortech Superchargers and Paramount Performance, built this car from a 2006 Dodge Charger platform utilizing a unique combination of heavily modified stock components. The SpeedFactory R&D (Research and Development) Charger is a test platform for high horsepower technology destined to power SpeedFactory’s production vehicles.

A GEN III 426 HEMI stroker motor is boosted by a Vortech centrifugal-style V-7 YSi-trim supercharger and is controlled through factory electronics, producing over 900 HP. The car retains modified factory components: transmission, IRS differential with 1000HP half shafts, suspension and shocks. A curb weight of 3,750 pounds was achieved by removing the interior.

“We are all very proud of this achievement, which showcases our continued commitment to the development of our brand and ultimately carries over into our customers’ vehicles,” said Mark Brucks, general manager, SpeedFactory. “With the introduction of the Drag Pack Challengers, we knew that records would be broken, and to achieve this with a modified stock vehicle that still utilizes the factory components makes this even more exciting to us and our partners. We believe there is more that can be done to produce even faster times.”

“The Vortech V-7 YSi-trim supercharger supports up to 1200HP with 78 percent efficiency,” said Gil Cormaci, director, sales and marketing for Vortech Engineering. “We are very pleased to be associated with SpeedFactory and Landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep. The application of our YSi-trim compressor to this HEMI Charger was done with the highest expertise, resulting in this impressive time and speed.”

The latest Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is truly a remarkable car and what most car enthusiasts would consider “fast”. The video that we found today redefines “fast” for the Z06 putting it in another class as it is able to run the quarter mile (1/4 mile) in 8.8 seconds at 154mph. That would make it the world’s fastest C6 Vette… that is until you find a faster one and post it in our comment section below!

AWD Motorsports built a serious E60 BMW M5 monster. This beast runs 10.57 seconds in the quarter mile. That is pretty serious in my book for a 4-door sports sedan!

You have to see this video! Sit back and go get a paper-towel to wipe the drool off of your face.
