I'm not an average owner and if my engine fails then I will spend the big $$ and have it built totally race. My money My car. But these engine from AMG are stout; I have no doubt about that - it's the tranny and rear axle I am more concerned with.

It's not so much the 1/4 mile speed or time but the pull off the line I am looking for - I doubt I will track my car other then to document my times for the forum and for my curiosity. I might get the bug and go road racing but I'm not sure this would be the car. I just want my SRT to pull hard when I step on it. If you had access to all the canyon roads as I do - you would understand.
