Default The V vs a Super Bee??

So I was just cruising home last night when suddenly one of the super bee chargers pulls up next to me and does the 3 honk thing so I pulled for a little bit but I slowed down (Can't afford another ticket I need money for mods). It was a 3rd gear pull and I think I was pulling on him. How much faster is a super bee than the V?

From what I have read, the V is faster than an srt8 and a Super Bee is just an Hemi powered R/T. Thus, you should beat them both.

I believe the super bee is a srt8 also, but should still have no problem with them! I love when they try to mess around!

The Super Bee does that the SRT8 engine in it. They are a few hundred lbs heavier than we are too. Your brief race sounds just about right.

Didn't realize it had the 6.1 from the SRT8 (looked it up)...according to wiki, seem to be pretty rare (~2425 total: 1k yellow, 1k blue and 425 orange)...I forgot the gearing they have or the weight, etc. but in a straight line I remember the SRT8's being close to the V, from that article vs. GTO also...However, everything else it was less (the srt8 vs. V)...

I like them, but unfortunately hate the hemi in respect to the engine PCM (ecu) over compensating for everything, making it feel in nanny mode; least that's how it was in my Jeep WK (grand cherokee)...Shame, cause it had potential and second to the LS' of course

I stand corrected. Good to know though in case one rolls up on me (so I can hand him his a$$).

Yeah I killed an Charger SRT8 and a E55 at the same time 75-130. Running a V1, longtubes, high flow cats, Corsa catback, CAI and a twin disk.

I raced a SRT-8 chrysler with the same whp as me, he did have more TQ.

And from a roll It wasnt even a challange. Theres a video on youtube if you want to search.

Maybe stock for stock it would of been better but V is alittle faster stock .
