I watched the video again, and I still think you can't count the SRT8 out of the race, with a good driver. The driver in the SRT8 never broke 5,000 rpm until maybe the last lap, he never had it wide open, because the engine was not pulling that hard, and he was allowing the engine to do most of the braking, rather than braking aggressively. I think equally skilled drivers would make for a very close race, especially with any mods to the SRT8.

I hope to get my coupe out on track day, sometime this summer, if it ever quits raining. If it were me, I don't think I would run an SRT8 for any money, on a road course, unless I knew I was a far better driver, and I think I'm a pretty aggressive driver.

I found out that I can run with a 2012 Mustang GT, on the way home with my 2006 SRT6, and they are no slouch either. I could pull him pretty well from around 60 mph to 120 mph on the highway, but we never had the opportunity to run stoplight to stoplight, since we were running down I-70, in St. Louis. One time, he came up behind me, already accelerating, and I caught him within an 1/8th. of a mile. He cooled his jets after a couple of tries to pull me on the highway. Darn that was fun! They are made to run.
