Kevin you really wouldn't say shit to me in person trust me punk.

Ask my daddy who just did a year and a day in Palm Beach County.

You better hope I don't run into you i'm not hard to miss 6'5" tattoos everywhere , so i'll be more then happy to entertain any problems you may want resolved in person.
I don't bring out the Colt I bring out the H&K .45
C'mon, man. Use your head before your mouth / fingers........
*Spending time in the lock-up doesn't mean someone's tough - it means they make stupid choices.
*6' 5" just means a big target.
*Tattoos provide an aiming point.
*And posessing a handgun is a violation of the law for a convict, right? So making that statement is another demonstration of poor decision making. See 1st * above.
BTW - I'm 5' 9", 195. Doesn't mean I'll take a beating or walk away from anyone. Pitbulls don't back down from ANY dog, and we all know It 'aint the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!
I could say I'm 6' 7", 350 here and who would know?
"Did I mention I'm the heir to the throne of _________?" (fill in however you'd like)

Now that we're done with the pointless posturing, I think once spring / better weather breaks, we'll see some verifiable time slips for all of the trim levels.
I'm going to make some passes with my SRT8 Challenger AND Mama's Charger R/T this spring and see what numbers come up - stock. Then as I make modifications, I'll make more passes after each one and note the performance differences. I don't think I'll get the same numbers as someone in Denver, or Death Valley, but I'll assume the increases (decreased e.t.) will be pretty much applicable to baseline times for those conditions (atmospehre and altitude).
Again - all external things being equal (weather, location, fuel, driver, etc. etc.), and both cars run STOCK, the SRT will pull away from the R/T as the distance run increases. The 1/4 mile may not be an overwhelming advantage for the SRT8, but as the distance of the race grows, the margin becomes much greater between the two trim levels.
