02' WS6 & 06' GTO vs. 06' Charger SRT8
So in the thread below an encounter on the highways of Mexico went down a couple weeks ago.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/street-ra...s-6-0-gto.html
I was able to coordinate these cars the best I could and get in on the action as well. The WS6 is my car.
WS6 has: mild cam, headers, and other standard bolt ons.
GTO has: headers and tune and bolt ons
SRT8 has: heads, cam, bolt ons but not a very good tune.
Race 1 GTO vs SRT8
40 - 120 mph.
Charger spun a bit and the GTO won by about a car length, but the Charger was pulling up top just before they shut down.
Race 2 and 3 WS6 vs SRT8
Both runs were from 50-120 mph and the WS6 won by about 1.5 car lengths both times. The SRT8 stopped my pull and stayed 1.5 cars back on both runs until we shut down.
There was 1 run from 60 -120 mph, I was at the bottom of 3rd gear, he jumped out by about a car and held me off by 1-1.5 car lengths.
Video of the run of the GTO and SRT8 were recorded on SRTboy's Go pro, but the Gopro died on the clean runs with the WS6 and SRT8.
Hopefully he can load up the GTO video by tomorrow.
All in all this was for fun and it was nice meeting you Sean (SRTboy), you seem like a pretty stand up guy. Now get that proper tune to maximize your power.

the best thing you can do to that 06 charger is just yank the motor out and bore it out and then rebuild the motor that way it saves you extra money than buying the 392 version brand new. These chargers are the heaviest in the group so its already at a major disadvantage thats why a very mild build on a ls f-body will beat a stock Gen 5 Camaro all day long because of the weight difference.

Hopefully he gets those mods he was talking about in the thread vs the G8, so he can get a win lol and the car all dialed in.
Isn't it literally just heads, cam, flowmasters, and tune

The GoPro footage is........ shitty to put it nicely.

I know my cars a pig but I'll try to make it work.
I am getting the mods together. I did the big one today and ditched the 22's for some Challenger rims. Much lighter and I can feel the differences.
Also got a CAI installed and gutted cats going on tomorrow.
Biggest thing now is to get a tune. With the logs of our runs today I see how much more is left in the tune.
Calling forcefed on monday.

Lol my car is nearly as fat as that SRT8 So I wouldn't doubt it lol. I'm still driving a two ton sex machine and unfortunately the sexiness doesn't counter the weight. I just got the car back from the stall being put in, but so far I am not feeling it at all. I miss the responsive part throttle super twitchy throttle input I used to have. Also has totally changed what gear my car drops to when I lay the hammer. After three years of being used to the stock stall, I have to learn the car all over again. I will say that the shift extension is legit though...
