300C SRT-8
#12
Op, your manual must be much faster than my weaker auto. I played with a 300 SRT8 a friend of mine has and I gotta tell you the outcome sure wasn`t like yours. He left me well behind no matter what roll we used. I did try him from a dig since he has traction problems and I don`t. I did get the jump but it didn`t last long.
His is factory stock and is better than a second faster than my 13.95 at US131. Kudos to what your can can do.

Lotta little factors to look at when analyzing this race.... Not unbelievable tho....
I can't wait to see the times your mods get you..... I drove my stepmom's car ('11 v6) not long after I got mine, and it pulls a WHOLE lot harder then mine does, and this is just with cai/tune/ab. Add in the gears and I bet you're in a bottom-13sec car. With a sticky tire and 1.7-1.8 60's, I dare say it may scrape 12's (glory pass)

You also have to keep in mind his gearing is slightly better than yours and he isn't in a convertible. You being in a convertible + being an auto is probably 200-250lbs more in your car. That and the other car having 2 big dudes in it would definitely have changed the way the race looks.
- Less weight (convertible vs coupe)
- Less weight (auto vs manual)
- Less drivetrain loss (auto vs. manual)
- Slightly more aggressive gearing (3.55's vs 3.73's)
- CAI (maybe 10rwhp)

I have no doubt at all Bokeo`s car is in fact faster than mine, many are. However my point was my friends 300c SRT is a little more than 1 full second faster than mine and is completely factory stock. If his is representitive of SRT8`s then the one Bokeo raced wasn`t. Just sayin`.

The 300C SRT-8 is a low to mid 13 second car at 106-108mph stock. 11 V6 is a high 13 second car at 102-104mph. Extra weight of the SRT + bolt ons with the V6 seems totally reasonable. Its about a 1/2 second faster stock for stock. Not a full second.

On the matter of weight, I have not seen where anyone has actually has put one of the `11-`12`s on a scale. Mine was 3840 right after the 13.95 run on the scale at US131. That includes my 150 lb body and 45 lb belly. That would make the car weight 3645 with just over 1/2 tank of fuel and nothing removed at all. I really would like to see someone get a weight on a coupe.
Mine is also a Pony Package so has 18" wheels and tires and additional options which obviously add weight. Just wonder what the actual difference is in driving trim.
Anyway, good run Bokeo and continue to enjoy the car!!!
