that simply means those designers still have NO FUXKING CLUE of what the market wants. They still believed in their kid's dream of having v10 with 2000 horse and ultra ugly styling ... argh ...

who cares if its ugly ? some morons from the 60s-70s-even 80s will buy it

who cares if it has a lot of drag ! just snap another 2 pistons to it and the hp itself will take care of it !

He was not racing you, I have lots of kids come up to me and try to race while I am just driving along minding my own business... They take off and run to their forums and post kills...LMAO

Unless you put a 3 rotor in the 8 you are not going to stay anywhere near an SRT8...

Its a Big heavy pig.

The G8 GT is a much better car.

Have you ever seen a Challenger at a car meet?

It even dwarfs the the Mustang.

Excellent job for style of the retro, but 41k for a big pig and then pay gas gussling tax........

Mine was 42,000 and change out the door and you get a lot for the money... Go drive one they are not that big and SRT8 feels smaller than it is behind the wheel... I have the Mopar adjustable coil overs and sway bars and the car handles even better than when stock... I have hit 1.02g on a turn, stock she would hit .92...

OK maybe you didn't see my post. It was the one sandwiched in between the two you just replied to.


So I'll ask again...

Nice time, with long tubes, high flow cats and slicks the SRT8s are running high 11s... See link above, the SRT8 ran a 10.25 with a cam and ported heads and intake + long tubes, high flow cats, TB, cat back intake and tune and drag slicks...

Here are a couple pics of my 2006 Mustang GT that I sold a while back, built motor running a Roots SC at 9 psi... 700 hp at the crank /625 RWHP... She looked a little different when I sold her with a few more mods... And another toy, my 2007 VRSCX limited edition Screamin Eagle V-Rod...

/\ Who gives a ****? Can it turn? No.

Anyway, the only reason why I like the Challenger is all because of Top gear! So funny when Jeremy Clarkson randomly started the car and parked it in the middle of the road!! D

The SRT8s actually handle pretty well stock, I am running the Mopar/KDW adjustable coil overs and she handles quite well... I used to track my RX8 from time to time and my SRT8 will keep up in the twisties and run by it in the straights...

Ok so he can' t drive and the car was not up to par...

Facts are that the car can handle, stock it will take the G8 and with the basic mods I have on her now she is performing very very well...

Nice of you to finish my homework for me! Daimler sold off about 80% of Chrysler in '07.

So sensitive!

Sorry if the original comment came across sharp... In the end there is enough blame to go around...
