I'm assuming the ESP and ASR systems are the same between our cars also.

Either way, if you look at the fastest documented (i.e. Dragtimes) C32 (fongflex), the trap speeds are very similar. Where y'alls SRT-6's really shine appears to be in the first 1/8 mile.

Take MDSRT6's documented non-nitrous run:
1/4 mile is 12.103 sec at 115.25mph. 1/8 mile is 7.884 sec at 92.22mph. 60' time is 1.885 sec.


Take the fastest documented C32 run:
1/4 mile is 12.388 sec at 114.05mph. 1/8 mile is 8.018 sec at 89.98mph. 60' time is 1.863 sec.

While acknowledging that the degree of mods may not be directly comparable, and that we can generally agree that the trap speeds and 60' times between the two cars are kinda similar, the SRT6 is picking up about 0.2 secs in the first 1/8 mile.

Awesome stuff!
I know it's just a G-tech meter, but I agree the SRT6's 1/8th time is where it really shines. The thumb I just copied from my gallery. When I use the G-tech, all launches are done exactly the same - TC on & stomp it, no letting up. You can see in the 3rd graph how much I'm loosing from the TC kicking in and it also reflects in the rotton 60' time.
