Default WS6 vs SRT-8 Charger

I just saw one at the accessory shop and it's the meanest looking car since the WS6. Anyone run one yet?

I ran one for a quick burst and pulled 2 cars almost instantly then shut it down due to traffic. There weight seems to be a big issue.

An LS1 TA will win against a heavy *** charger. I know that they are heavy as hell but I dont know how much they weigh

They're low 13 second cars (yes some have dipped into the 12s, but that is NOT the norm) stock. Yes, an LS1 can take one, but only if your driving is top-notch.

Stock M6 vs stock SRT-8=driver's race. An Auto will probably lose stock for stock. They might weight more but make 360 WHP stock.

They can be fast yes. They pull low 13 seconds on the track. From a dig, you could beat it. On a roll, be careful. I'm not sure how the aftermarket scene is for these cars but give a a year or two and there will be more modified SRT-8's that will kick your *** if you ain't watching.

No matter what, it is still a 4 door family car, and still looks stupid. I guess it is better than the station wagon they put out, but still not my cup of tea.
