Google couldnt have taken that long... The cars are well matched, I dont doubt that, but.... Its comparing a factory freak 4 door to a base model..... Run a berger or a Factory SLP camaro....
Besides you already admitted that you havent beat EVERY ls1 which is why I started in on you in the first place.

It's hard to say that honestly...I went 13.1 @ 108mph on a 2.1 60ft... F-Body cars have been seen in the high 12s with 108mph traps as well.......
It's a very close race but I don't believe the SRT-8 is vastly stronger on the top end. Anyone have a slip to compare numbers? I would be curious to see where they are at the 1/8th vs 1/4 (to compare top end if you will)..

You are correct sir.
When my wife and I were playing around it was pretty much a dead lock anywhere under 80mph. Its about 75-80 where the 300 with her in it would start walking away from me in the SS. Im sure the SS is a high 12 car with the few mods so it makes perfect sense. The cool thing is go drive the 300 SRT8 and then jump back into an F-body. Thats one reason for me just selling the SS, it was slower and far less comfortable and people are shocked when you give them a run in the 300, where they expect the SS to be fast, they are totally shocked to get beat by a big black 4dr with massive wheels and no exhaust sound whatsoever CAI/tune only), Its really fun actually.

I bet.... Kinda like a sleeper, for the people that dont know. I actually prefer the ride in my car over the wifes TB, just because the seats are more comfortable, havent even driven a 300 yet but the wife has. I know if I drive it, it will be parked in the driveway...

Well its nice that you went back and changed this to make yourself look smarter than you are. Did it take that long to figure it out?

About the factory freak part. SRT-8 Engineers say hp varies by 2% in production. As far as timeslip variance, the big factors are: heat soak, 2-3 start-up shift, ESP fully off and obviously conditions, 60ft, roll-out, etc.
Because of that, SRT-8s tend to be faster on the street than one would think. And stock to stock, beat an LS1 98% of the time.

Ok special vehicles... Sorry for the wording there. If you raced a berger or another packaged LS available from a dealer like your car, modded from the factory, I think you would be singing a diferent tune... Whatever.. Buying a SRT is like buying a bolt on Camaro. I actually would be more impressed by an R/T or Hemi 300 if it wasnt a factory hotrod, and built after the fact.
98% of the time... Sure if you say so.. I just think its funny that you are now proof reading your posts, and changing them to make more sense. Like you had to google the information to make sure it was correct.
I am not worried about it, because right now, I have beat factory SRT 8 cars 100% of the time. 1 for 1... And as soon as I run into one thats not driven by some poser yuppie who wants to feel more endowed than the other sheep that work with him, I will be 2 for 2. So go roll around with the other neck tie bandits you ride with, and feel special..

Not sure what your point is in your first paragraph except now you're talking about comparing to cars with mods beyond bolt-ons or google for that matter. Best-ever trap speeds of 109mph vs. 111mph and more variance in LS-1 power outputs from the factory.

Sometimes job and/or family requirements dicate a 4door that's far superior to a subpar SUV. You have a real problem with success, don't you? I'm surprised you haven't posted a "Killed a rich ******* in a nice car" thread yet.

No, I don't really keep an eye out for that. LX forums has a large vendor listing though.

No sense getting upset because SRTs actually pack more than just a badge.

I love the look on SRT8 owners faces when they get worked by a mere 10 y/o LS1 Camaro...Most seem to think their 2 ton boats are invincible..It's probabaly the fastest car they've ever owned, so I understand...They are the latest car to in come equipped with a 'chip-on-the-shoulder' standard..I enjoy knocking it off whenever possible.

I can't believe the attitude by some of you guys... I have seen so many SRT-8's(300s, Chargers and Magnums) trap 107-108 almost every time. The only time I've seen a stock LS1 do that is here on the forums in your guys' sigs. I'm not a dodge guy by any means, as you can see from my sig, but get real dudes..... The SRT-8s aren't F'n around. Dodge got their act together this time. But we will always have the edge when it comes to modding.
BTW, they are certainly low 13 second cars off the showroom floor. Barring traction, they'll run a 13.3 in the dead heat of summer at a sea level track. I've seen a couple goin 12s stock. Old TBSS owner now in a 300 has went a best of 12.36 w/ a intake and diablo on DR's.....
