I almost feel slow in my LS1.

well... if you raced it or not I can tell you i trashed one from a dig. from the people watching they said it was an easy 4-5 cars. Whether its an R/T or SRT8 it should be the same ending. BTW I have an A4.

Maybe, once he realized the fury of an LS1, his boss took the op's car in exchange for the op keeping his job

Op where are the damn results of this race?

Don't buy into the hype. A stock LS1 F-body is just as fast in the quarter mile as a stock SRT8.

Was anybody else surprised at how slow the chargers are the first time you raced one? I felt let down after hearing all the hype about them, and then pulling 4 car lengths before halfway through 2nd gear.

And maybe none of the guys can drive, but of the 3 SRT8's I've watched at the track, not one broke 13.6 all night.
