Default A srt8 charger......1 kill more to come

I live in ft myers, and last sunday (it was a cold moring for florida anyways) a older man prob 40 or so pulled up next to me in a srt8 charger. (nice car) He rolled up his window and pointed to me at the light. I wasnt sure if i wanted to race this guy im sure it was all stock, but he's got to be pulling close to my horespower. But what the heck i wasnt scared to lose. Well surprise surprise, i get him on the take off at the light by the time i got to 3rd gear i was a couple of cars a head, then we hit 120 and the road got a little curvie, luckly no one was on the road it was pretty early on sun. thats when i left him in my rearview........ When I rolled to the light he gave me a thumbs up......at least he's not a soar loser.........anyway thought it was a good kill..........

i think with a good run i can get the saleen to mid to high 12's with the s/c and re tune that i have, ive been driving drag for a while (mostly up in north georgia) so to the guys credit in the srt8 there no way he was getting me on a dig nor rolling in curves.............i would like to get this car in the high 10's or low 11's with out changeing engines........ first i need to get rid of those 20" tires, very overrated couse they do come in handy around curves..........any advice on how to get 500+ horsepower and high 10's or 11's without totaly gutting this car remember its a saleen.

Good kill! My dad has a 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT-8(the gentlemen's HEMI, haha) and that cars runs circles around Corvettes. Good kill, and if the damn thing didn't weigh 5,300 pounds, it would run high 12s no prob. If a stock '03 Mach 1 can run mid twelves on DRs, I can't wait until pappy gets some street slicks for his car. Can anyone say low 12s? BTW, very nice car.
