Seems interesting, except I'm not stupid enough to make that run in NJ...or spend the money on the box to record that info.

It is interesting to see some of these guys verified times...real quick.

I hang out with a few guys and the 60-130mph is all they talk about. Although I have never logged my time, it is safe to assume that a pretty heavily modded SRT6 will run a low 10sec 60-130mph. When you compare that to other cars, it is not impressive. I have a friend with a HPF Turbo M3 that runs a 5.53 60-130mph and is spinning the tires at 80mph.

Our advantage for the most part is the pretty good traction we have in these cars. For the most part, the 1-2 gear change has very little traction issues and with a good set of tire, we can get a dead hook from the launch. This makes us more suited for the ¼ mile times.
