I agree the SRT-8 will definitely "hold its own", no doubt. Up until now I was actually thinking about the possibility of going with the 5.7 liter motor when it is finally available in the `09s, but even with 50 more horses than my stock Mustang GT (350 compared to 300) it still has a less desirable pounds/horsepower rating.
GT: 3,483 lbs at 300 HP = 11.61 (

R/T (?): 4,160 lbs at 350 HP = 11.89
SRT-8: 4,160 lbs at 425 =
9.79 (NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT FOLKS!)
I fully realize I'm splitting hairs here, but facts is facts.... For me it's probably gonna end up being SRT or bust.
PS: "sooowwweee"

As posted on the Dodge Charger Forums... An SRT-8 (stock) Charger ran at the drag strip a LS2 GTO in the 1/4 mile. With the Charger giving up 1000 lbs, the Charger out ran the GTO to the 1/4 mile mark. It was a true drivers race and the finish was close. But with the power of the HEMI and a give away of 1000 lbs... it came down to a drivers race. So with the 6-speed and a slightly lighter body (Challenger) I see no problem in the future for our little Sow. I think the SRT8 will hold its own, can somebody give me a sooowwweee
