If you get a good launch and shifts you should be able to win easily. I was at Firebird raceway in a couple months ago and it was really hot around 90% at night and there was a total of 5 cars there. One of them was a new Charger SRT-8 and we raced 5 times and I beat him by 5 CL or more every time. This was before I had an O/R h-pipe and Delete plates too. I was running 13.9's @ 101-102 and he was running 14.4-14.8's @ 97-98. The heat really hurt both our times. People see 425hp and think they will get smoked, but they are over 700lbs heavier than our cars and have worse gearing.

RE: Charger SRT-8
Dont take this the wrong way but he will eat you up pretty bad if your dont have a s/c or turbo. I know this beyond a shadow of a doubt. We have 2 srt8's in the family and they dyno at 385 on a mustang dyno. The factory claims 425 at the crank but the tuners will tell you this fiqure in low.
