To me a 12 sec car is not fast, but fun.

I suppose "fast" can be subjective. It's all a matter of perspective. If you are used to driving around in an LS7 I can understand not viewing the SRT6 as "fast". However out of the 100 or so cars there for street night only 3-4 of them were faster than me. A few of them being a boosted LS2 Vette, and an E63 AMG. Again thumbing through the back of a Car & Driver and skimming the 1/4 mile times of several hundred cars only a few are faster and they include the likes of Ferraris, Lambos, and Bugattis- though maybe ET doesn't count for you?

Considering "fast" is a matter of perception- what other car(s) do you own which make you feel the SRT6 "unimpressive"?

PS My traps ARE admittedly quite low. I should be over 115, but yet again, it's a problem with the tune.
