Definately takes a great tune and cooling to maintain that kind of performance for that amount of time. Have you ran against any of the higher hp ferrari's or other exotics? I bet you give them a heck of a run. Now I'd love to see that on video.

If I can get enough traction from the start I think a time a tad under 12sec. is also in my car. Would be interesting.
We here in Germany do Performance and Tuning Comparisons more from a rolling start and at higher speeds. At higher speeds traction, reaction time etc. are not so important. Only the Real Power of the Engine counts and there are no excuses. The engine has to work much harder at WOT in 4th or 5th gear. But I also like the Competition Spirit in the U.S. with Drag-Racing in the 1/4 mile very much.Thumbs up. Must be fun !!
By the way, I mailed with Brian Brave, who did the "Texas Mile" with 169 MPH = 270 KM/H in his SRT6. Next time he will take times for his Mile run. Than we can compare his and my times. This would be great!!!
