Also, have you ever seen how slow Mustank GT's are at the track? They are a joke. There were a couple at the dyno day yesterday and one that was near stock(only removed mufflers) put down a heartstopping 281rwhp............pathetic. Even though my Charger is slower than the Crossfire you just don't get the same feeling from a refined blown v6 as you do from a loud seat shaking v8.
i could not agree more.In my book nothing replaces the v8.I like my srt6 alot but from a marketing stand point they are probably the biggest flop of all the srt's ever made.Nobody wanted these cars until they were half price.The challenger might not be the dragstrip king but i wouldnt mind having one in my garage.
