I dont get the arguments about weight and engine size. Dodge decided to go with more horsepower and not shed weight down....its all the same as going light weight with a smaller displacement engine.
There are lots of other things to look at aside from horsepower ratings, like actual torque and horsepower curves. I know the new RT's are really underated because they run low 13's but are only advertised at 390hp.
And stopsign...you post so much bullshit i think your actually starting to believe it.

Also, I haven't completely rules out unicorns, leprechauns, or some other sort of magic happening. Anything can happen on the street

+1. Srt8 is a 110+mph car bone stock on a bad day... an AUTOtragic lt1 pulling him from a roll? He either wasn't racing, was in 5th gear, was humoring you, or your car breaks the laws of physics.

i was just bumping around on the challengertalk board and they were talking quarter mile times with an srt8 and a 6 speed. there were some nice numbers but on average, with a stock car i kept seeing 13.6 @104.

and dietcoke...autotragic? really? cause a stalled auto is as fast if not faster than a stick car...with less driver error possible.

. Stock Mach is dead bait for a 392, obviously. Radials, geared and breathing? Might be a different case 
If the SRT can launch on those street tires that Mach won't stand a chance.

nice ricer excuse....boo hoo who cares if its $10,000 or $100,000 pull your skirt down you vagina. Its 4200 f*ckin pounds, with leather seats, touch screen, rear seats and the size of a tank and it still smokes your lightweight bolt on geared mustardstain....
Bolt on mach 1's are a joke just like their owners. I was suppose to race a full bolt on geared and tuned mach 1 this past weekend but he sold it for an ls1....i wonder why

people that put down automatics just have never really raced with a good one. i used to think they sucked. till i drove the shops camaro with a turbo400 and trans brake. that ****** launched just as hard as a clutch car, and i was a LOT more consistent on my reaction times.

. They would rather under shoot than end up with what happened to Ford so few years ago I guess. Never aim high unless you can plant it, probably a good motto to go by.people that put down automatics just have never really raced with a good one. i used to think they sucked. till i drove the shops camaro with a turbo400 and trans brake. that ****** launched just as hard as a clutch car, and i was a LOT more consistent on my reaction times.
