Nice runs from the charger... Looks the their weight disadvantage is most apparent from a dig. He did walk pretty hard from a roll... I havent been able to get one to run me from a roll. I'll try harder once the new clutch goes in and I get it broke in... Spec 3 is done for. And that eclipse didn't even try lol Good runs man. I have ran an SRT8 magnum... it was a very bad outcome for him.

As I said turn the volume up and you will hear him blowing off. He brake boosted too. I didnt get video of the 2nd race but I let him jump a car or 2 ahead and walked right past him.
Yeah, they also do that when they upshift.

Regarding your first question - they are fun, but too heavy, too big, needs more gears/manual trans and an LSD. The CTS-V is/was better for track days.

Won't be any different with a Charger or 300C either. Maybe 1-2mph difference in trap speeds. Those gears are a deciding factor, not to mention bolt-ons/tune vs. same.

Thats about what it looked like when I ran my 6spd bolt on 02 SS vs my wife driving our 300C SRT8. She beat my azz.

I love the SRT8. Thats one car I will payoff. Ive said it before, from a roll (traction sucks more than the weight) it will run with a bolton or mildly cammed F-body and such a nice ride. Amazing.

Point is you have to be in boost to blow off. What's with everyone coming in here with attitudes? You srt8 drivers must have little pp's.

The SRT8s are really nice cars. I dont know about running with a cammed f body, but it will definatley give a bolt on car a run for their money.

Is the 300c your wifes? If so good job bud.

No, the point is the posted video against the ricer is worthless because he didn't try.

I bet his after market 22's did not help from the dig,not like the factory20's are much better but still. He was coming on hard in the vid from the dig.My old car (04 mach1) that had 430gears would jump out on my 300srt like four cars from a dig. But the big four door would always catch up back up and pass it up high. This car has given alot of guys the what the hell just happen look Good runs anyway.

Good kill/loss. SRT8s are great for a family daily driver. Definitely outstanding performers for 4 doors. I just don't like them.

Nice vid's man. The 2nd run against the Charger though, seem's like he just got the jump on you. I mean i see u do the 3 honk's, but i also hear a 4th honk in there. Then you hear tire's spin a bit, and he pulls ahead. Idk if you wouldve taken him, he pulled a good amount on you but probably wouldve been alot closer.

I dont think that Eclipse even tried though lol

I could see it being a 1/2 car closer.

I was just on Chargerforums and found an awesome 1/4 mile run!

CAI/Tune/Diablo and it ran a 12.49 @ 113. Very impressive.

I ran a SRT8 on the highway form 70 to 140-144 three times and beat him by a car each time. I would pull the length each time in third and he stay at my back bumper all the way to end of 5th gear and we both would let off.

Damn dude that was funny ****! I didn't notice him post up either after that. Haha, that was awesome!

I wonder to myself if he really thinks weight doesn't matter...
