What converter is he running?
If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?

I was thinking closer to 10.5 - up, but lot going to depend on how good a driver he is.
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.

I'm guessing 3800 - 3900 lbs with driver. With that converter it won't go that fast. If a real 585 hp (dynos many times are somewhat inflated) 7.30's - 7.40's in the eighth. In race trim with a good converter and slicks 7.0's.
At 3450 lb in race trim at 535 hp I went 10.80's.
