Angry Loss to 300 SRT8

raced a srt8 300 yesterday and lost he had k&n intake and a chipon it. we race 4 times each time from a roll and lost all four times (had the cut outs on)
took the cut outs of and raced him a couple of more times. we were dead even each time
i got to admit these dam cars got some real power coming from that 6.1L engine

how many others have fallen to these cars? just wondering

They are pretty strong cars. Don't feel too bad.

I haven't had the chance to race one yet.

Haven't ran one yet but I know it's going to be a war when it happens.

Nice death!

well dont feel bad, me and my friend ran into a srt8 charger with his car, its an 00 ss m6 with just a lid at the time and we barley pulled a fender on him top of 4th from a 30 roll 2times. they are supposed to have 425hp stock. but he now has LT's, full exhaust,tune,crane wires,tr55's,ported T.B. and im pretty sure thats enough to pull one by about a car or car and 1/2. anyway more mods as quick as you can then.....

Nice death, they are very strong cars with Cai/tune (400+rwhp). With the Diablo tune alone, they become totally different. My 300 is MUCH more responsive than my C6. I bet from a dig to 70-80mph my 300 would actually be ahead of my C6. Im trying to get my wife and I to race them, since the 300 beat my 02 bolt on SS.

I've seen a Charger SRT-8 run a 12.9 at 108 stock so they're tough. Most of them average mid to low 13's though.

I raced a 300 SRT8 from a dig.

We were dead even all the way up to about 65ish, then i started pulling.

Shut down around 115~ with 2 cars on him.

Only had lid and true duals then.

We both spun pretty hard out of the hole (dusty road), so I count that as even on both sides (although its fully possible he got traction before I did... **** my tires )

if his car wasn't impressive then neither is yours since you only beat him by a fender

Yeah, it's not impressive at all for a 4,000lb+ pseudo-luxury car to run 12s... good call

I think the boys at APS could help you out with that.
