I would hazard to say your SRT6 was one of the more potent ones on here... and yet you had similar results.
Do you think my original suspicion has something to do with it? (IATs)
In other words, the longer you stay in the top of the RPM range, the hotter the IATs and therefore the decrease in acceleration? Our overall gearing in these cars is very low... So I can't see the ratios playing with the outcome much.
