my dad doesn't race at the track and the was his 1st time running the car, he just blew the tires off the line. When I drove it I just used the brake like a clutch and got much better traction. Needless to say he wasn't too happy.

I ran the SRT-8 with my buddy Joshua from work last week on the empty e-way , easily kept 4 cars on him up to 130.
We shut down then. Also I was sliding sideways and had to be very carefull .
That's all my 4:10s are good for, 125-130 mph.
The top end of those do mellow down in the triples QUITE A BIT from what the driver said after I asked him , I don't know if its tuning or the engine itself?
In any case, lets remember, to be sure the hemi and SS would put out some sick numbers modified with HCI, NOS, BLOWER, or just a PLAIN 93 TUNE.
The 5.0 Coyote will come at the right time

Yeah, raced the Mopars but not any new Camaros yet(only a matter of time, there are a ton around the central Tx area). In my Cobra I've raced and beaten a R/T Challenger and two Srt-8 Chargers(all by about 3-4 cars at 120). My Cobra does trap 108 in the summer heat though.
I've also beaten a R/T Charger in my GT, but got beat horribly by a SRT-8 300C. My GT is dog slow though. Runs 14 flat at 98.
