That's slow for a new 5.0? I know I seen one on slicks run 12.6 at sar with nothing done to the motor.

Full bolt ons and 150 shot and only going 11.6 is slow. My full bolt on car went mid 11's there. Wbt's full bolt on auto just went 11.00 there.

And some slick only 5.0's has went low 12's. Nothing done to it at all but tires.

Why did Dodge kill the srt4? they had finally made a small compact car that could out run all the other imports and then they let it die..

Dodge almost never gets it right, and when they do, they run away from it. The neon had a bad rap from the early years of issues with head gaskets and things. In '03, Dodge had a decent economy car with all the problems ironed out; a good deal for the money in all trims levels, and in my opinion, the best deal in the SRT trim - cheap, not too slow, moddable and reliable. It was selling well, and then bam, they went to the caliber (a shed with wheels). Idiots! They bring back the charger with a hemi, yay we all said, but no, it only comes with 4 doors, an IRS and weighs 4200lbs. Stupid! I could go on about the chally, but we all know how badly they screwed that up.

A case could be made the same way for GM when they cancelled the camaro. Yes, it was dated, but it was still kicking trash out on the streets. Then when they bring out the 5th gen, they make it too heavy with an IRS. Eww...

Hmm.. Damn never seen a 351 run so good. Yeah we found alot of stuff wrong with his suspension caused his tourqe arm not to make his car plant but already told him he needs to run what his car is built for and stop running it off the bottle

Yeah I like to see the rematch when he finally runs all out. I like to see what his little 350 is capable of. He should be ready real soon.
