Yea, I wouldn't worry all that much. They're what, over 4000lbs and the same HP rating. The SRT8 has 425~ I think but seeing as you have a bunch of mods, it should still be pretty close.

is it an SRT-8 or an R/T? i believe the R/T is rated at 350 hp and the SRT-8 is rated at 425 hp. they may be pigs but the SRT-8s still run bottom 13s stock. what are your other mods? are you sure he's stock? an entire paycheck is a lot of money to throw down on a race if you're driving a bone stock 5.7 charger.

Is your Ws6 M6 Or A4?

If its regular Charger he won't stand a chance

If its the SRT-8 he might.

Tell us, does it have the Hood scoop on the Charger? If its a SRT Hemi, you might have some problems. It's cool your cool with your boss like that. Let us know the outcome!

What all mods do you have. If it is the SRT-8 you might need to be full exaust and will the race be a dig or a roll.

Yea, if you have an A4, do it from a dig, if you have an M6 do it from a roll

I didn't think about the SRT8. It'll be closer to you but if you know what your'e doing, you'll beat him. The R/T is the one you would/should skull drag if you can drive. I see you're an A4 so that's a plus in you favor...less to go wrong on your end. And when you say "every mod possible"...go ahead and list those so we can give you the best answer on the outcome.

And a vid is required after said race has taken place. How old is the boss? Did he just get his car? Has he had anything done to it?

Try to make sure that he doesnt have a kit on it somewhere. Tell him to give you two lengths since he has two extra doors.

Those are some heavy shitboxes- I don't know if I'd bet a paycheck on it, but I think you'll take him.

Here's an idea- if you beat him, he has to refer to you as "Daddy" for a week in staff meetings, whatever- any time he has to address you.

If it's an SRT-8 and you can hook from a dig you'll smoke him, if you spin it will be closer but you should still beat him. They are heavy beasts and he doesn't know the LS1, give it to him good.
