If you were to run them flat out, it would only get worse for the 300SRT8 (I was pulling him pretty good on the top end).
I'm surprised he only trapped 107, you have a good trap!

I just have basic bolt-ons; longtubes, duals, lid, ported tb, maf and a tune for spray.
I was going 70 and he punched it from behind about a car and a half. So he was probably going 60 when he tried to fly by

They DO! They run 175-176 mph stock.

This is what Im getting next (after I sell the Cobra) and they USUALLY trap 109-110mph. 12.90 - 13.20's @ 108-110 mph stock is insane! You just have to learn how to launch them with the ESP.

There will be a few vids of a Black 300C SRT8 here in Ft. Lauderdale soon....

First of all DON'T sell the Cobra and 2nd, get a Charger SRT-8! IMO The SRT-8 Charger looks the best.

Im not selling the Cobra for an SRT8, I am selling it to free up money for my Father's retirement. I am trading in my wifes 's Mazda and getting one car. The Chargers look ok but I think the SRT8's are the biggest sleepers. With the bolt ons and a shot, I will have it running 11's.

You know the 6.1L cylinder heads flow 318cfm stock! CNC'd they flow 340+.

Lol, what I meant was, even though the Chargers look sweet, the 300C SRT8 is the bigger sleeper and even has smoother lines than the Charger. I dont care for the Magnums or the Chargers but something about the 300 is awesome. Even though they are the same car underneath.

Yea, I see most of the guys run 107-108 and a few guys (broken in cars and better 60') who run 109-110. Im optomistic.

Good kill! Actually top speed is 172-173mph but with the tuner, could be higher unless there is a hidden limiter (possible w/ Mercedes-Benz DNA).

I've trapped at 108mph w/ a CAI but others have hit 108-110mph stock under ideal conditions.

The Charger has 25% stiffer springs than the 300C and handles better - I've driven both at Laguna at the SRT Track Experience. The 300C leans over in turn 3 and really bounces out of turn 6.

Nice Kill bro!

Those things can move. Too bad there still aren't too many modded ones. ..But they're still fairly new though.

I guess they are all over the place. 171-176mph.

"My CSRT-8 has less than 200 miles on it, but I had the urrrrrge to try it out on an open freeway.....and voila, I was doing 176mph with absolutely no adrenalin rush, that is how the car made me feel like I was driving 120mph{except for the engine sound of course )
The car IS speed limited to 275+kph (around 176mph) because the throttle started going up and down to prevent me from going faster...Damn steady car at that speed that you feel you can do it again and again and again
"

I cant wait to get one for my wife and I. You know Ported Performance Deuuuce? Awesome place. Here was thier last run with thier 300C SRT-8!

http://powerported.com/

"We finally got around to installing the converter this week and the results last night were astounding.
60ft: 1.584
330: 4.606
1/8 et: 7.179
1/8 mph: 95.65
1000: 9.393
1/4 et: 11.280
1/4 mph: 119.12
This is the fastest LX car in the country and we are still NA
."

They offer the ported intakes, CNC heads and many cam choices! I cant wait to have an 11 sec SRT-8. Then I'll pick up a used LS3/A6 Vette and my wife will have the SRT-8 to herself.
