I do not have the hesitation you speak of... but with that said I now know that my mods to the R/T put me in front of a stock SRT-8. I got the chance to kick it off with a stock SRT-8 300. And I pulled away steady until I shut down at 120. Really nice 300 silver and very classy. If not for the Challenger I would look hard at an SRT-8 300. That said I cannot run with an SRT-8 with the same mods. My oldest son has an SRT-8 Maggie with the same mods and he pulls me like I pulled the 300. Boy I am looking forward to driving a 6.4 liter SRT-8.
