I don't know what you are talking about, the SRT8 vehicles have a damn good top end.

Ever watch Top Gear Skillz? SRT8 Challenger had issues getting over 150 mph in a mile long course. For something with 425hp, it should be able to reach that number considerably easier.

Hmmm...ironically... I just read a death thread yesterday that occured from a roll and all of the SRT8 guys were telling the guy to go from 60mph next time and he would leave the other car behind.

They seem to have a VERY large deadspot..My run started ~75mph and I was told that was their deadspot.

Any of the SRT8 guys here know what the 'good speeds' to run from are? I was told 55mph by a well respected SRT8 owner so that's one... any others??

i run the SRT8's around here from a 50-5mph, that gives me a nice jump on them, just enough to get to the top end and shut down before theirs kicks in.

i haven't noticed any dead spots. the dead spot is the driver sleeping when they need to be going. there is ALOT of stuff said on here about SRT-8s that is BS.
