well, and not 425hp, either. Thats at the engine, not the wheels. Not exactly data the consumer needs. More like creative advertising.
I have added over 50 hp to my R/T and it still isn't at the hp they advertise... which is 340.

Stock (360-370rwhp) SRT-8s trap 108-110mph.
Without knowing if it had heat soak or the 60ft, the I/E yet heavier Magnum posted a "typical" result.
Your buddy's SRT-8 s/b running even with you. Try taking out the Jet Chip and then comapring. His dyno seems high, his trap speed seems low. Doesn't add up.

When he ran at the track he had a 2.0 60 foot and his car was NOT heatsoaked. He got to rest the car for a while in between each run. He trailored it to Sacramento so it wasnt even hot at all.

His time and ET sucked for a full exhaust car unless it was 90degress outside. I'm heading to Sac. to race on 12/30 and I'll keep you posted.

I dont know why he trailored the car. We made fun of him for doing so. People at the track were making fun of him for trailoring a 13 second car lol.
Good luck in Sacramento. I might actually go on the 30th if my friends go. Maybe ill see you there. Keep me updated on your times.

I raced one of those 300 SRT8's, I pulled on him but for how nice and comfy there interior is, those cars are def no joke. I saw one of those Jeep SRT8's rip a 4 wheel drive burnout around west chester before and man did that thing sound mean, I fear those SUV's.
.. i pulled on a challenger8 but i think my turbo/exhaust sound scared'em

Most recognize that those things move out. Yes, they are quick and now demand respect. Did see few that moved out and took out some LS1's around here at the track, and some of the LS1's had heavy mods. For the most part, they do have the supporting power to run into the 12's with little to no mods, depending on temp, humidity and barometer! With some work, they CAN surprise even the more pricey Vette and other supercars. Still waiting to run one though not really seeking it!

My friend has an 02 SS with maf and flowmaster and he raced a srt8 300c twice and one by a car and a half each race in the 8th. I have out ran an srt8 charger in my lt1 car. So they are not that fast. They make good power though. Oh yea, saw a brand new challenger run 14.2 at our local drag strip. Not impressed by dodge at all.
