You should be able to take him.

The fun would be cars more closely matched. Not a low 13 sec car and a mid 12 car. :beer:
I get what youre saying and this is getting so over done, but I wouldnt think someone would plug in a 31" tire combo just to show an SRT8 would run 180mph since they are for forums and the sharing of info, but who knows we do have some crazy people.
As far as being off on the speedo, oh yes but not by 25mph. Im sure these days w/o a speedo cable/gear they are much more accurate than you can imagine. On one of the chats with the SRT engineers on Chargerforums, they actually said it was closer to 1.xx of accuarcy on track tests with the Evics, they made it as accurate as possible so the guys can run 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 miles and top speeds with a great degree of accuracy. But actually who cares, you with 562rwhp should be able to run the number too, though where are you gonna try? :rockon:
This was also a friendly invite for Machs to have fun, this is my wife's car, not my 2.8KB Cobra.

what ever happened to good old GPS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shr should be with in 2mph
Excuse me? Im sure you are totally aware a C5 Z06 is a mid 12 car @116+.
There would be no point in running that with a 12.80-13.20 @110-112 car (not talkin track prep, the street) . Im sure you see the difference. :bored:

If we had some roads like Texas, I would jump on it myself. :coolman:
You said you had a mid-high 12 car "for sure" in your other post. Then you said there would be no point since it would be a mid 12 vs low 13 car which contradicts what you said before. I was just pointing out the humor in it.
I see, but we all know even a 12.50-12.60 can end up being a 13.0+ on the street without any prep. Now from a roll, the Mach and the 300 would be much more fun (reason for invite) than a roll with a C5 Z. :coolman:
Actually I did a PRC valvespring swap on my buddies 2000 Z28 this afternoon, and we will swap the cam (MS3) next Sat. SOmetime this week, we are going to run it aginst the 300 (A5 consistant) instead of my SS (6spd inconsistant) and see the real world before and after. Ill post it up, the first race will be fun, the 2nd wont be. Lol

Im wondering how a the 2000 Z28 will do. Lt's, 3:73's and a converter should really well but it really doesnt feel that fast, we will see. He should trap around 111-113 so it should be fun. Now with the cam/TSP tune, we are talking closer to 118+. :thumbsup:
true that :beer:
I wouldn't try that though, there's no place to run safely, beside my body kits might fall off,lol :rockon:
The only gear option the Diablo offers you right now is 3.06, so no, you cant just set a ratio you dont have. And, if you did, the car wouldnt just run with a bad speed displayed, it would go into limp mode.
You cant get higher gears, they dont exist. You cant reprogram for higher gears, Diablo says they wont offer other options until other gears are available.
Now, about speedo accuracy, get with the times, modern systems are much more accurate. I know a lot of folks tested the Neon SRT-4s speedo at 145-155 against GPS, and it was always dead nuts on. So has any test of the SRT-8s speedo.

Not to pull the :bs: but it would be nice with a radar gun or GPS. Just my 2 cents. When you go past 140 mph aerodynamics comes to play. You can have all kind of HP but if your car has a lot of drag, it will go against you. The Viper and Vetts and other exotic cars were designed for that, not my car or 300's.
How many miles (10 miles strech) will it take for the car to reach 180 mph. How about the HP needed to overcome the 4000 lbs car to reach that speed. CAI and a tune are not going to cut it, at least IMO. That's all I'm saying, it just doesn't make sense to me.:shrug: However, I do believe the 300's, Magnum and Charger are 12 seconds cars, no doubt about that.:rockon:

Speedometer readings do very per car but my ZR-1 is very close at 185mph, gps verified and also 1 mile challenge verified. It matches within 1-2 mph what the gear charts say I should be doing at that speed.
The variance comes from the tires growing larger at those speeds.
Jayplayss,
I just like to race. I think your right, a stock Z06 would not be a good match for your car but when I saw that you lived in Ft. Lauderdale I couldn't resist. Send me a PM and we will hook up at Towers sometime.

Hold on. So, we've discounted and dismissed the arguments against the gears and the programming. We're now down to not believing the speedo. Id say if its accurate to 173, which is what Car and Driver found (and if the speedo was off, I think they would have mentioned it, dont you?) then Id say its likely accurate out to the limits of the car.

Whats left?
Good read man. Ive seen the stock ones run everywhere from 171 to 176. Our 300 gets a bit better milage than that too. Right around 15 city and 21 Hwy, excelent for the weight/power. :read:
