yah...sounds like he had aftermarket rims too that would also add more weight and slow him down....22's are huge on a car
you were prolly his first car he rapped since he picked his new supercharged SRT-8 up from the dealer that had just installed it for him

How do you know it was supercharged? It's obvious it wasn't stock, but I don't think it was supercharged. They put down 360-370rwhp stock.

These cars respond very well to just a CAI and catback. I have seen (with dyno data) a Charger SRT8 reaching almost 30HP from just a CAI. I didnt believe it also until I saw the dyno charts. The CAI kit was a K&N. Maybe this are not typical results. I know my SRT8 is a whole different car with the MOPAR CAI and the BB catback.
Maybe the lead on the SS wasnt as the original poster said and the surprise factor of a family car kicking my *** make him exaggerate a bit. Maybe the SS needs a tune also!

I took this info off of a local dealers Website here explaining all of the cars features. This is for the Charger SRT8. I dont know about the Cherokee version.
In this case, it's a big-bore, SRT-engineered version producing 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque.
As an all-around performer, the all-new 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 is capable of awe-inspiring numbers unheard-of in a muscle sedan: 0-60 mph in around 5 seconds, quarter-mile time in the 13-second range and braking distance from 60-0 mph in approximately 110 feet. The Dodge Charger SRT8 is also capable of accomplishing SRT's signature performance test of 0-100-0 mph in the mid 16-second range.
Hope that helps.
