You saw the run? Perhaps you were the guy in the Porsche's passenger

stuff up out of whole cloth? You make a definitive statement on an event
you can't possibly have observed, and call another a liar while having
absolutely no evidence to back up your charge.
Let's see, straw man, ad hominem, ad nauseum, how many other logical
fallacies can you fall into?
You say you are here to pull this forum back to reality... yeah, right.
In reading through your many posts, I find not a smidgen of evidence
that you have any other intent than to be a wet blanket and a troll.
Your only purpose here seems to be to denigrate other posters and
attempt to start flame wars. If you have information to provide, please
do. If you can't do that without resorting to character assassination,
baseless accusations, or rancor then keep your mouth shut. It is better
to keep quiet and let people think you a fool, than it is to open your
mouth and prove it.
BTW, the Carrera S is listed on Porsche's web site as performing the
0-60mph run in 4.6 seconds. Road and Track clocked the SRT6 at 4.8
seconds performing the 0-60mph run. With only a 0.2 second difference,
a reasonable man would conclude that the driver becomes a key element
in determining which car will come off best. Other important elements
are when does each car hit it's top torque load and how wide the power
band is. And, although the Carrera S comes in at 355hp its lower torque
load and more narrow power band reduce it's acceleration rate.
Also, though I have made no statement as to what model of Porsche,
other than a Carrera S, was losing the challenge when we had to back
off (see SRT6 eats a Carrera S), I've done a little research (you should try
it Bullseye) and found the relevance of 996 or 997. Yes, it was the
newer body style, so I guess it was a 997. Too bad Bullseye, but your
icon did fall.

Not calling you a liar, per se. Just saying you may be ill informed or lack for better terms embellishing. You claim you beat a 997 S in your SRT-6, that would be like me claiming I beat a C5 in my bone stock SRT-4 or a guy in a magnum RT said he beat an SRT-6 It's not possible unless, A. he wasnt racing, or B. He was in the wrong gear. You talk about manufacture's claims 0-60, dodge claims 0-60 for the srt-4 to be at 5.8 yet many magazines have gotten around 5.3. ALso they claim my car has 230hp at the flywheel, which in fact it does have 230hp at the wheels. You really seem to be into magazine racing, so here is another example, Motortrend: 2005 911 Carrera S 355hp 0-60 4.2 1/4mi 12.6@111.1 2005 Crossfire SRT-6 330hp, 0-60 4.9 1/4mi 13.3@107.1 And on a road course it wouldnt be close. The 911 is the superior car nuff said.
And where do I misinform about my srt-4 enlighten me. Telling me to do research? You had to do research to know the difference between a 997 and 996 LOL. Please. Incase you didnt know a C5 is a corvette from 99-04.
