so you agree with me then?
Yes. When the LX line showed up Chrysler rated the 5.7L to do 0-60 in around 6.3 secs, but the magazines got them to do it in the mid-5 second range. When the SRT-8 version came out, they clamed it would do the lower 5 seconds in the 0-60 and it has been found to do around 4.6-4.8 with the 300C and Charger SRT-8. Chrysler likes to underrate because they know the audience will already be impressed with the numbers they post and will be even more impressed when they see that it is better than what they claim. By doing this, they establish credibility with the customer, as well as create high expectations, which will earn them more customers in the long run. I think the Challenger is going to impress us with the 6.1L model, by being able to beat the GT500.
