SRT-8 = 1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 13.48@105.31
You should be able to beat that.

RE: Charger SRT-8
the 300SRT8 is actually faster than the charger...not sure how, or why...but they are!
I raced a modified 300SRT8 at the track and he was running 13.2...EVERYTIME...with the sunroof open...and it was modified...
So if your running the power you say with better gears, etc...and assuming he is unmodified, you will beat him, thats if you can drive...
These cars are powerful, yes, but they are not fast...they have poor gearing and have to pull around ALOT of excess weight...
the R/T's are slow...and a stock GT blows them...but the SRT are quick...but if your modified and he is stock, then i would say its all you..and your driving...

RE: Charger SRT-8
uhhhh noit wasn't an RT. Its kind hard to mistaken the two. TheSRT-8 looks like a totally different car with the hood, front end, rims, exhaust, andspoiler. He even had the hood popped trying to cool it down and it said HEMI 6.1L. I wouldn't post if I wasn't sure.

I think you were racing a charger RT, no, i know you were.

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
on the highway, last one I raced, which had an intake and exhaust, I put 2.5 lengths from 60-125~, then went to 5th, and let off., and watched him roar by, and keep going.
They have hellacious top end with that 6.1
they are a good car, but too fat for the muscle.
Me and a friend with a 2008 SRT-8 are going to line up on camera when I get my new tune in.
Ill keep ya updated on that one.
But I have a lot of bolt ons and gears, along with a 26" tire making it almost 4.56 gears.
I have raced the entire SRT lineup now, and (besides the viper) the jeep will give you the best run.
i had to play catchup from a dig to the 2nd shift, and then it was a steady pull after that, but he still hung in for a lil bit, I put 2-3 on him...
but as to your question, the only thing holding you back on a dig run with him will be your 20s, and the lack of sidewall for bite, a roll will eb a good race, and you should get him by at least 1.5 cars im guessing, if hes fairly stock.

RE: Charger SRT-8
There is a guy in my complex with a srt8 and he says his car will loose against mine. He raced2 other s197 body styles at the same time and lost to both of them, he said one of the stangs didnt beat him by much but the other blew them both away,my guess is one was stock or mildy modified and the other was s/c or turbo.
He thinks my car is fast because its loud
