Did u push the pedal all the way to the floor??
You should not have sold the srt8
It was a much faster car
What were you expecting?
Try turning TC off and don't drive it like a lil bitch
0-60 can be obtained in 4sec and 1/4 in under 11.8 stock
But I guess thats slow when your coming from a super fast Charger

While I haven't dented the floor pan yet, I think so.
Man, that's lot of hate! I didn't sell it yet. Do you want to buy it? Seriously, I'm just looking for guidance here from the veterans. I don't know if I should expect jet like speed out of the box and my car has a problem, or if it's normal to take time to really fly. Chill out.
Seriously I thought the same thing but it's hard going from my car to a stock 2010.
How much boost are you getting at WOT.
mayb its still in "limp" mode.....?
I thought about that, but I've driven over five miles continously. Doesn't that kill the limp mode?
I think so...or so many start ups:??:
Put it in Sportrac mode. Apply brake, press traction control twice. I've got 500mi currently. Seems quicker after 400mi. I'm guessing everything in the motor is exactly the same as 125 miles, but maybe it's just me getting used to the car that makes it feel quicker.
If anything the car should seem slower as you get used to it not so suprized with the power.
And here I am breaking mine in progressively after 2k miles...
FWIW; between 2 cars; both of them have loosened up nicely and gotten "happy" after 1500mi. It took 1k mi. before they actually 'let go' to any degree...
And yeah yeah I know there's the crowd that says drive it like ya stole it off the showroom floor. So, good luck with that.
Also the cars don't feel brutally fast, more like electrical motor smooth but sneaky fast.

haah ok ok
a lil harsh
Actually, I know what you mean, sort of.
It is hard to explain but perhaps you are traveling much faster than you think/feel.
These cars are very big and heavy so you do not feel the speed, but also you really need to ditch the factory tune and you will feel it, and possibly switch to 373s or even 410s and if that doesnt do it, a pulley sure should help, but then at that point you will be ordering a KB.
It never ends!
I think maybe your expectations were set to high but then again, really I just think it is mind over matter and you are going like a rocket but just dont notice it. The blower is muted and so is the exhaust!
?wtf
Hey, Mike is that you? It was nice to meet you and your car looks amazing, the Kona blue and white sripes looks great. Belive me i thought my car felt slow at first but then i got a chance to line up against some other cars with simalir power and i kept up very well and pulled a few car lengths on 2 other pullies cobra's. Its the smooth delivery of power that fools you into thinkin its slow but the real test is when you get to line up against other cars is the true test. Iam pretty sure in a race from 0-100 against your srt-8 you would put about a bus lenght or more on your old car.
