Always cool to hear about the comparison's. I was watching Battle of the supercars w/ a Caddy and AMG both rated at 518hp. The Caddy blew away the benz on the 60 to 130mph run. I mean blew it away! That is why dyno numbers don't always tell the story. The tq of that TVS blower on the Caddy really pulled hard!

I saw that episode as well. However the the Cadillac had 556 HP vs. the 518 (or about that) for the Benz.
I had a Thunderbird SC w/ a 5spd. After playing w. her, heads, cam's, intake, IC and more boost SHE FLEW! A boosted 6 can really go.
Gotta love boost! It is always fun to play a little.
ptoumov, you might have been able to get away w/ the knee elbow technique in my car, but that could be real hairy w/ your POWER!

A S/C 928 can beat any SRT equipped Dodge/Chrysler, I have beaten up on my roomates SRT-10 viper truck in my bone stock S4.The 300 SRT-8 you raced is the fastest of the SRT breed in stock form.
The new C6 Corvettes are quick cars, a S/C 928 should be able to beat the LS2 model years, but the newer LS3 motors are definitely quick.

Here is some performance data on the 300 SRT-8 from Car and Driver.
Pretty impressive for a big sedan especially 0-60 at 4.7 even an S/C 928 would have a tough time on that one. The acceleration does diminish at high speed just like anonymous said, 8.8 seconds from 100 - 130 mph and 10.7 seconds to go from 130 - 150 mph. The guy I raced said he with his mods he has no limiter and he has seen 310 km/h on the dial.

I've beaten slighly modified SRT-10s at the drag strip Both truck were pulling low 13seconds and I went against them at least four times. The Viper powered trucks are not slow at all.

Luckyjackass Check out SCCOA. It is the supercoupe forum and if by chance you want one it is the place to look. Like being here w/ a 928.
I will buy another SC for sure. I had my heart broken when it was stolen.
I would eat SRT 8's or 10's for lunch in my Thunderbird SC, unless they run high 11's, low 12's stock!
I will have to watch the show again in regards to power and the caddy. I still stand by my statement in regards to dyno numbers. The proof is on the street. track!
According to the dyno my 220 plus 79 928 shouldn't be able to compete w/ a GTS on the Highway, but in two different races I had the GTS by a 1/2 a car. Go figure!

The Caddy is 556 hp from the factory. Not the most refined car on the planet but it does haul ***. They managed to put the cheezy push button door openers from the Corvette in the CTS-V Coupe how ghey!

The caddy is pretty cool. For the money, I could put 1000's into my 928 and still have a lot of money left over to do a lot of cool things and still have a car faster and better habdling! I love moding cars.
