Good story. I have had my car at Hallett for an SVTOA track day. GREAT time. Jeff Lacina thought the car had a nice powerband. It was bone stock at the time. :coolman:

Glad to hear you had it out to a road course, where they were designed to be run. The cars are a blast on the road but they really shine on the twist tracks. That Watts link setup on those cars is sweet. The car does have a great powerband over all, that's why I said it wasn't a biggie. I didn't want to come off a couple of the corners at around 5k in this guys new car so I was a gear lower than I should have been. This put the car down around 3k coming off the corner and it just lacks a little grunt right there. Otherwise the car is just a hoot to drive.
Yep; 4k is where it really starts to pull. The SS should cure that...:-D
Definately!
How so? are u kidding me, look at the numbers.
srt8 charger
6.1 liter v8 425hp,
4,000 + LBS
automatic
VS
pj mustang
5.0 liter v8 400hp
3,300-3500 lbs
5 speed
power to weight ratio, the mustang has the upper hand sorry to tell u :bash:
oke:mustang is 400-600lbs lighter and its auto vs manual.
This is like corvette vs mustang, corvette always has upper hand cause there so much ligther, look at 03 cobra videos even 100rwhp more 03's dont always beat the corvettes

he is 400 RWHP. I believe the SRT's 425 hp rating is at the flywheel and through an automatic you're losing 20%.
Am I wrong here?

My bone stock 300C SRT-8 ran a 13.0 flat in 85 degree weather @ 109. And it is a 4 door pig w/ 20" wheels. I also was talking on my blue tooth phone option as I made the pass in my 6 way power adjustable memory seats.
Good kill OP

True, anything can happen on the street.
I know the numbers like the back of my hand. It's not 3300lbs either and his track times and race against the 6.0 GTO tell-all.
Same automatic that was in your E55. 16-17.5% loss depending...

FWIW my car also has LT's, o/r h-pipe, tune, and aluminium DS.
As I said, the results surprised me as well. I called a buddy right afterwards to brag and that's what we talked about. Seemed odd that it was so ugly. The guy rolled up beside me and rolled down the pass window to say something, but I couldn't hear him. There was someone in the pass seat, and POSSIBLY in the back as well, which could account for some of the diff...
