Default Re: Raced an SRT6 on the track today

See if your editor thinks a good article would be "Crossfire SRT6 vs. Porsche RUF".

I don't think so.

Nor do I think that Motortrend or any other automobile magazine would want to do such a comparison. Mainly because it's a joke.

In automobile magazines, they compare new cars of the same class.

They don't do a "2005 Infiniti G35 vs 2000 Porsche 911".

They won't do a "2005 Hyundai Santa Fe versus 2001 BMW X5".

They don't do a "2005 Mercedes S500 vs 1998 Bentley"

Even though the price of the new car may equal that of the used car, they are still in a totally different class.

Admit it, these comparisons are ridiculous, as is comparing a $45k SRT6 vs a $200k Porsche RUF.

If you want to compare SRT6, compare it against other new cars in the same price and class range. This is the acceptable standard in the automobile world. You briefly mention the boxster, thats a good comparison, and one which the SRT6 handily wins.
