Charger SRT 8 Anyone know much about these....I just ran across one on the freeway. Still had the dealer's paper plate on it so I know it wasnt modded. We started playing around at about 65-70 bad spot for me (A4). He pulled on me pretty good on the top end. Tried to get him to slow down but he maintained 65-70. So I figured ok lets go again and same thing he pulled me again. Not making excuses but I could hear my car pinging in the upper rpms so I'm working on getting that fixed now so I'll be ready next time I see one. Only mods I have are cat back, lid and bellows.. Was looking on the Dodge web site and the say 425HP and 13 second range in the quarter. Should I have taken him?

I have a friend selling his 4L60E out of a totaled F-bod, I will let him know you will be needing it after a few thousand miles if you do that.

Charger/300 SRT-8's are capable of low 13's/high 12's trapping at 107+ stock. There's a guy on chargerforums.com that only had his Charger SRT-8 for a week and went to a 1/4 track and ran a 12.8 at 108 bone stock.

Maybe you should do a search on stuff and learn what you're talking about before you go giving advice that's going to make someone break parts ...

just like you won't see everyone in a c5 z06 go 11.77s (current record IIRC) theres a bone stock 300c that went 12.56s at Atco back in December/January.

Shoulda pulled her down in second, with 323's you'd have at least 10 mph more or so to go in 2nd.
