Every time I run into another SRT8 owner all they want to do is tell me that they have the fastest 4 door around. I think that it is a great vehicle to lease, but it is by no means a sports car. I guess I am fortunate enough to own a few cars so I am not infatuated with any one in particular. I would rather have a four door car instead of the Corvette and I'm not a Mopar guy at all...........

Hey Jean, I've read tons of your posts and know you know your stuff.

Problem with what you suggested here, is that I don't have access to a stock ECU and I don't have a hand held GPS

As for your bet. Does this mean you think the FVD numbers are accurate?

I think the car feels very strong/fast, but like I said above I don't have much to compare it against. It's certainly faster than my M5, but given the power to weight ratios of the two cars that's no surprise at all.

DM993tt:
The outcome was two out of three races I out-ran him. The third time he left the traction control "on" and it was not fun watching him pull away. The Z-o6 with the better driver will win.

Sorry about interupting your thread, but any vehicle is only as quick as the drivers skill. Hope this helps.
