Street Racing & Kill Stories - 02 SS vs 06 Charger SRT8

02 SS A4: SLP Air Lid, 2XLS1 Tune, DW301 fuel pump, ported throttle body
06 Charger SRT8: AFE Stg 2 Intake, gutted cats, muffler delete,170 thermostat, Diablo Predator tuner

This is a buddy of mines car, we were hanging out last night and decided to give it a go. Were going to try and get both cars to the track here soon.

1st Race: 45 roll. He honked, go on third honk. I jumped the start just a hair due to trying to anticipate my trans downshifting. At 110 I had about a car to a car and a half on him and still pulling.

2nd Race: Dig run, I honked. Go on third honk. I jumped out about a car on the launch and held it to about 100 before I had to let out because the stretch of road we were on was to short to be able to brake much after 100.

All in all good runs, really kind of suprised me. I expected it to be alot closer.

good runs. Now where are the SRT boys?

Good runs.

Hold a gear for rolls. Don't be caught slipping (possibly literally :D ) waiting for the kick down. Hold second, punch it, slide to D (not 3, D, 3 engages overrun clutches for braking, your fluid has better shit to do). Also consider not doing rolls over 20MPH. I like to keep my rolls to 10 and 15MPH rolls. This way the shitty M6 launchers are rolling and cant complain about how hard it is to launch and you'll still be in plenty of your much needed 3.06:1 1st gear. Starting out in 1.63:1 second is asking for an ass whupping. Especially against M6s and all the A5s, A6s and now A8s of the world. You need that torque converters maximum multiplication and that first gear. A4s of the world unite, stop this 40 roll bullshit. M6s wont start out in 3rd for you at 40 (which is pretty close to the ratio you'll be in) so why should you.

/2 cents

(Edit: BTW, Im aware the Charger is an A5, just soap boxing a bit :D )

Diablo tuner is like -100hp.

If he had a real tune he would've raped you.

;) talk to u on fbook.

Hes going to run me again on a 100 shot just for s's & g's. Dig race.

With a diablo tune? He's going to lose because he's going to blow up his motor.

I do admit a diablo tune does make a difference but for a good or decent tune he needs a custom tune from Johan or a reputable tuner, CMS is also very popular. Also if he doesnt already mention to him to install a catch can for sure, the oil in the intake manifold is a disaster and one will argue timing is pulled due to its vapors as its burning off, ofcourse alot of oil is still left in there. After my catch can install my car does not ping anymore. Either way he didnt have enough power and lost, good kill OP.

Good kill!!

Good post lol

op good kills

Good kill, sounds like it was a good time! Both nice looking cars.

Is the guy that own the srt8 from moore by any chance?

Yeah, Bryan. He had a silver wrx before that.

Nice Kill, With your mods and his mods it should have definitely been closer but thats not always the case because all cars run different. I have pulled full bolt on and tuned M6 LS1's from a roll and dig and then ran dead even with a bone stock 98 M6 SS. You just never know

I agree, good kill op

I always hate saying this because I always feel like I sound like a royal douche. However, Ive always felt as if my car runs a little harder than it "should". Ive ran similarly modded and a couple of full bolt on M6 cars and pulled on them. Like you said, they all run different. Im interested to see what mine runs as it sits and what'll run once I get off my ass and put my headers and exhaust on (slp tuned lengths, slp catted y, slp loudmouth 2). Also it may be time for a rear end swap, mine started making some strange noises yesterday.

Lol small world, I raced bryan and posted the vid on here too. Did you try to race james car? Those srt8s seem to run more consistent than fbodies, at least the one I've raced

Nah I didnt see the vid. And im not sure who James is.

Nice runs. Did your car have the 345 package? Your car is likely stronger than others if you came lid/cat back stock.

Nope the only extra thing my car has is the Z4C anniversary package. I put the lid and ported throttle body on it a few months ago. Exhaust system is still laying in the garage waiting on me to quit being lazy and put it on. The car dynoed 308whp stock on a mustang dyno.

Nice, 308 on a load bearing Dyno is solid.

Oh, I thought you know james too, sorry lol.

Here's my race with bryan.

And my car is H/C car so yea dude, you have a freak of a car lol

And btw is the dyno APS dyno?

Yeah it was Bo's dyno at APS. I went to their grand opening dyno day.

Was Bryan on bottle or motor that race?

Motor only, his car is stout, that's why I said your car is a freak man

I think he makes around 370ish on BnR dyno

If the opportunity arises we should line ours up sometime.

Are you sure there isnt a cam that managed to install itself in your car because he should have gotten you.
I raced a SRT8 300C with intake exhaust and a shit tune and barely held it off till 100 then it came by me like i was standing still, and i thought my car was a freak that ran good, the charger is a shitload lighter than a 300 too.

If the opportunity arises we should line ours up sometime.

sure thing man, we can setup a run sometime, that run with Bryan was prior to FAST102/92,98mm lid and 85mm MAF so i'm really curious how she runs now, haven't really got on her again since the last time Glen did the drivability tune for the 85mm, i'll pm you my number.

I purchased the car from the original owner. When I bought it, its was bone stock down an a/c delco paper filter and oil filter. So yeah, I know exactly whats done to it. Lol. And according to my understanding theres less than 100 lbs difference between the charger and the 300c. If my car was cammed and ran as slow as it does id cry.

Cool man. Im not up on that side of town much and I usually try to keep to running at the track. But lately the street has been safer than thunder valley with the shitty prep jobs theyve been doing. Ill let you know though, im always down for a friendly run.

I raced a CAI only SRT8 300C when I was bone stock from 70 to 140 and we were door to door... I lost a little each shift and would creep back just a little at the top of each gear. Ended the race dead even and stopped to talk to the guy. I ran the car twice, the second time I had FRA/Lid and managed to pull him just a little but was still a rediculously close race.

300 and charger should be about the same. They are both LX platform cars. I drove a procharged srt 8 charger. It was alot slower than my m6 camaro but a lot more fun to drive.

if a procharged SRT8 is alot slower then your camaro making 411 somethings wrong with it.

The tranny was actually going out in it. Also, it was running about 5-6 psi. It really needed a stall put in it. But when i rolled onto the interstate and layed into it, it picked up to about 100 pretty quick then kinda fell on its face.

no stall and only 5 psi will do that. Guessing it was a P1sc

I wish i had the $$ to pick it up. Stupid lottery...had 90k miles on it though.

I agree... my buddies 6.1L at 8psi is a beast... I'm not making 411rwhp but I'm no where close to him anymore.

Nice kill.

Gotta try running a 2011 or 2012 300 SRT8, those things are surprisingly quick. I've raced 2 (from digs and rolls) and only beat both by about 3/4 of a car each time, except at speeds above 130+, my car just pulls away.
