Also it's true, the Magnum SRT8 would be behind you after he takes the off-ramp, loops back on the freeway and passes you AGAIN.
The Magnum was on Aero Dr to Mission Center Rd to Friars east. I work at Montgomery Field and this is the way I mostly take going home. Due to traffic I was always a couple of cars behind but at least I was able to see the SRT badge on the back.
No doubt the SRT-8s accelerate through the 1/4 mile faster and quicker than a 6. They also brake several feet shorter and I suspect top out around 5 - 10 mph faster (assuming the rev limiter was disabled in the 6). It's kind of embarrassing when Chrysler's "halo" and "premier" sports car is out performed by a group of family cars. But then that's the beauty of the 8s - you don't suspect that they are capable of that kind of performance. Well, at least I get better gas mileage.
