Could've been either one. 6.1 SRT have SRT badges on the grille and spoiler, R/T just have badges on the grille

Well then that changes the story. A stock 1st gen SRT8 is basically as fast if not a bit more than a bolt on LS1 f-body. I own a 2006 Magnum SRT8 (non stock) and a 1999 Trans Am (bolt on). The SRT8 at this moment a tad faster than the TA. If you went ahead by 3 cars, I seriously doubt that was a SRT8. Its perhaps a RT with an SRT8 appearance package (5.7LT with SRT8 wheels).

New SRT8 are indeed more powerful then previous gen one but with a couple bolt ons they are almost equal with an edge in the new ones of course.

Not this weekend

A stock srt8 should not touch a bolt on ls1 car drivers equal...The cars have always been regarded as a dirvers race when stock. A stock srt 8 is a mid-low 13 sec car trapping around 106-107 the same as a stock ls1 fbody 6spd. A bolt on ls1 will trap 110-112 no srt 8 is doing that stock.. Mod for mod the srt8 will edge out an ls1 but not by much.

I've raced a couple srt8's when i just had bolt ons and never lost. lol with that said 3 cars from a stop like the op suggested is a little big but I have no doubt he coould beat a stock srt 8

You almost agree with me, LOL!! But the OP saying he beat it by 3 cars....not happening, it must have been a RT.

I raced a srt8 a little while back when i was just a bolt on.. from 60 to 130... it was the weirdest race i have ever done lol we both hit it on 3 honks and i pulled on him by about a car till around 110.. then when im in the peak of my power band he starts to creeeeeeeeep by me i was like what the heck is happening lol it was a fun race.. i didnt talk to the guy but i know it had exhaust and 20(ish)in rims..

needless to say if i raced him now it would not be fun for him

It's possible he pulled 3 cars on him. What if it was a manual Challenger and the guy missed a shift?

I've pulled on a C6 Corvette before, because it was a manual. Eventually the guy caught up and blew by me, but still. Anything can happen.

Of course...but with all things been equal...unlikely.

The car was in fact an SRT-8. Early 6.1l model, my car runs a constant 13 on good street tires (without headers, y-pipe, and TB being ported). Either way I beat him by 3 cars to 75. I went and drove a 2010 challenger and they are in no way as quick as a F-body. Given a good driver they should be taken pretty easily. As for the 2011 392, I was told they are quick.

I can assure you stock for stock the 6.1 hemi traps higher than a f body...

Some guy with a Magnum SRT-8 tried to run me the other day. I put a few cars on him pretty quick. He said he had full exhaust, I could hear it.

I thought these srt-8 cars would have been a bit faster. I think srt-4 neon's might be faster.

392's will definately trap higher than an ls1.

ummm no not stock. not real close

Your mods?

chaman

Sorry, doubt it. Either way he sucks real hard at driving it or lied about mods. No way he would be at 450 rwhp so I think he was lying about mods. How sure you are that it was indeed a true SRT8?

As I said before I own both cars and have a pretty good idea of their performance. Driving one like you said is not enough to have an idea of their true performance. These cars fell slower than what they really are.

Having said that anything can and indeed happens in the street though.

OP has very light boltons. he aint sniffing 112mph lay off the homer juice. i bet he is more around 107mph esp since he is an a4. stock srt8 have trapped 110mph. and pretty sure have run bottom 13's and high 12's stock. so if the srt8 was tuned with exhaust and i bet an intake. i can see one not having much trouble walking away from a light bolt-on a4 TA. heck I can walk a light bolton ls1. obviously anyhting can happen on the street. but for arguments sake. a srt8 will rape a ls1 from a roll. 100% vs an a4 ls1. and even an m6 will not trap the same consistently. yes obviously there some that have run slow. but for ever stock m6 ls1 than trapped 109-110 mph stock...an srt8 that was driven equally good would have trapped 111-112. Good kill to the OP. but you probably should have actually lost. and esp not put 3 cars on one.
