Re: out of my legue???
you should be able to do that as you sit now. i know bolt-on challengers, srt8 or not...ARE NOT low 12 cars. i have a 99 ws6 that's basically stock and i pulled 3 cars on an srt8 challenger to the top of 3rd, the faster we went the worse it got. not to mention i had a car to make up from spinning away 1st gear.

Re: out of my legue???
he has an srt8 special order 6 speed. when he had it tuned it was also dynoed at 421 @5300 and above 400 for torque (i forgot exact number but i read his sheet after he had it done) and thats dynoed so obviously at the wheels... im not exact on what else was special order on the car (hmm maybe i should have said that in the origional post sorry) but he dumped 63k on it witch is far above the 42 base srt8 price... anyway any car runnin over 400 wheel power sure as hell isnt slower than 13 seconds i am sure of this.
