I think we were talking about racing here. I've seen lots of fast cars get beat by going up in smoke at the line or missing a gear. Drivers are an important part of the equation in a real race setting. I am not arguing that in stock trim, the SRT-8 is the clear winner if driven capably. Remember, I said stock.
I agree!! There is much more to racing or even getting the potential out of a faster car. Simply dropping the cash down on the counter for the "top of the line" does not guarantee you are going to win in a real world race. Now if you just want to dyno race or pound keys on a key board....then that's a different story. What Rudy refuses to realize is the performance in these two cars are close (in a straight line)....and it COULD be a drivers race whether he wants to believe it or not....especially from a dead stop. I have seen RT's runing low 13's to mid 14's.....why is this? Because there are many other factors than just the car itself. I guess some-one should shoot me next time I am at the track running my RT running low 13's. LOL.
