Yeah. For some reason I feel like it will be close.

Vette sounds good to me!

This is 67goatman455 racing a mach 1, TA has lts duals cai and hot cam as the Mach 1 has cai and borla exhaust. pretty even from a 2nd gear roll(ta has no traction with tiny 245 tires but is a low 13 car i believe)



with that i think the Mach 1 will be close depending on driver and that youll have to jump out on the srt8 and hold him off.

So i was on my way home sunday and i got exhaust fly by'd by a Chrysler 300C on a streach of hwy98, it had exhaust and a K&N sticker on the rear lower right of window so i catch up to him at a light and there was driver and a passenger... light changes and at about 15mph i nail it and go around him so he can now hear my exhaust...he nails it and stays right behind me about 2links till about 120 and i start pulling away...i was like WTF?? that biach was quick...at the next light i punch it from a dig getting all sidways an ****.. and pulled a link or two then it stayed behind me about 2 links again till about 120...i just looked the car type up and it has a 5.7 hemi w/360hp 390 rwtq ...So wow..i stayed in front and didnt realize those were that badass...i thought maybe it was a 6cyl with a power adder...i didnt know it was a v8 5.7....

Ive raced a Mach 1 it was real close. On the other hand with the Charger SRT8 it would really be how good the driver is. I put 10 cars on a Charger SRT8 because he couldn't hook with his street tires.
All the races were from a dig.

The srt8s are heavy and slow from a stop. My hotcam lt1 is a lot faster than my aunts srt8 challenger from a stop. You will have no chance from a 40mph roll, so be sure you go from a stop the srt8 will be trying to catch up and will if the race is too long.

The 300C comes in the srt8 6.1 version and the non srt8 5.7 version; the 5.7 is not fast at all.

When I had street tires, 3.73 gears, and a basic tune, I put about a bus-length on a 5.7 Hemi Charger... The 6.1 Hemi is 13.2-13.3 AT BEST! With that being said if he's not a good driver you should take him easily in the quarter. On the Hwy. I think that you'll jump him and he'll slowly start to creep back on you. Hopefully the race is over by then.
