There are a few SRT owners who will attest to my claims. And their names might surprise you. In truth, the SRT did not do as well on the slalom course as the NA. NA 69.6 vrs SRT 70.9
Once your extra power breaks the wheels loose, you can't use it anyway. A Viper's power margin is insane but I doubt one could catch a decently handled NA thru the Dragon.
There is a lot more to driving the Dragon than point and squeal. Push and go guys just don't get how useful a stick can be in managing the forces of a car thru a tight road course.
If you have a light foot and quick with an auto stick you can get through the dragon quicker with an SRT than you can with a 5speed NA (lets face it, the 6 speed is really just a 5 speed with a useless 1st gear). In fact I'd say an auto NA is quicker through the dragon than the manual version.
