To get an N/A anywhere near an SRT you would need to spend so much more money, you may as well buy an SRT and not work for a year! The manual gearbox of a 6 speed pales into complete insignificance when compared with an SRT!
I can't let this go unchallenged. There are a few SRT's out there who will tell you that you are wrong. Not braggin, just sayin. Been there done that.
And done it more than several seconds ahead of the Srt's behind me.
I love my wifes SRT but I accomplished no better times thru the Dragon in it. Hellbender, Oh yeah.
Although Boilerup, I will admit I was exxagerating about the cigar, but not by much. You have apparently never ridden the Hellbender with Jane Bridges.
Honestly,riding with her was the best I've seen an SRT driven in the twisties. And, seen thru the passenger side of the windscreen, an absolute rush. Most excitement I've ever had with a woman and kept my clothes on.
Doc's right though, these "I'm Badder than you" jests don't help friendships. I'll be at the Dragon this fall with both the SRT and the wimpy NA. Be happy to chase anybody thru the turns for Shiztangrins.
