Where'd you drop the extra weight? I thought the SRT-6 weighed in at 3240 without driver...?

Calculating with the new weight, you laid down at least 323.89 whp. Keep in mind that doesn't include power lost to wheel spin, roll resistance, or air resistance. So you actually laid down more than that. But that is the physical minimum amount of energy required to move your car that far that fast.
