.nyc_srt8, there aren't a lot of SRT6s out there. Finding one in your neck of the woods with an owner who wants to race their car is going to be difficult.
Why don't you consult with some other SRT8 fellows and find someone in SoCal, Chicago, VA, or even Michigan (
) to try set something up?

Re: Nobody wants to race me!
well if you come to colorado and pull of a few spark plug wires i'll race you with my 04 lmtd. lol but afraid no srt 6 here. lol I just can't believe no body has gone and put it to the test yet ?? Win or lose, its just fun to have a great car and get to race it once in awhile. what kind of reaction times are you guys getting on average? and do you run on a .4 tree or a .5 tree back east?

I love the whole SRT line-up and would love to see this match-up.
I was so impressed with the handling and balance of the SRT-6 at the SRTTE that I came very close to buying one. I love the straight line grunt of the SRT-8s but I too live buy the motto " Happiness isn't around the corner its in the corner". But I like to add that " if around the corner is a long straight then DAMN I'm mighty happy there also".
That and the fact that I need to shift to be truly at one with my car made the C6 the logical choice for me.
Either way you all have wonderful cars and should be very proud...
Stay safe out there...

P.S ... Don't mind the SRT-8 killer sig... I did that to **** of a few of my SRT-8 friends who think I'm a traitor for buying a Chevy.
I do have a Nitro and a PT Cruiser now though... Doesn't matter they are still pissed...

Re: Nobody wants to race me!
most "amateur" drag racing is done on a .5 tree, most pro is on a .4 tree, but i have had a few people that say they use the "other tree" so was just wondering, as it effects who might and does win in a race, simply due to reaction times. Here we race on a .5 tree, most of the time the biggest clue is the .5's run "down" the tree, red, yellow yellow, yellow, green. and of course your staging lights and dq light. most the .4 trees i have seen, light all the yellows at the same time. I manage to impress everyone with my reactions in the crossfire, but am not always the first one to the end of the strip. lol I have even gotten in the heads of people that own super expensive cars that go way faster and quicker than my crossfire, and then they always make the comment, "damn, i wasn't sure if i was going to win or not, cant believe how you get off the tree" pretty fun, but obviously doesn't compete with vipers, newer vettes, nsx's and or srt6's, not that there are any here to race with. Just enjoy my track time. PS, sorry for the off topic tangent. lol.

- Water Injection
- EvoSport Intake Spacers
- Needswings Intake (when it's released to us)
- Removed Resonator
- Two of the cats removed...
I'm hoping all that will put me in the lower mid 12s.
Re: Nobody wants to race me!
Have been reading this forum for a short period of time due to the fact that my wife has been asking me to get her an SRT6 Crossfire, so I thought I'd read up on them. Looks like a pretty good car and would possibly be suited for her. I'm 6'2" 225 so Im not sure I'd fit well. On the subject above so I don't get accused of hijacking the thread. I have a 2006 300C SRT8 and live in S.C. and would love to get with an SRT6 owner to see how they compare in several categories and Silver Fox I will be in Sevierville Tennessee on 7-8 Sept. for the "Shades of the Past" hot rod show if you are in the area!

They are terrible 1/4 cars here in the US because of this (with there given hp). From a roll is a different story.
Now about the video, let me ask you a question. Would you believe a stock m6 can run against a viper with a supercharger and keep up all the way to 196 mph? (please say no). I can show you video of this. So in other words I'm saying don't believe everything you see or hear. So now I know you're going to say well I guess I shouldn't believe the vid you posted... that's up to you. My buddies on m5 board and mbworld came down to the track one day when we had a srt8 event. The fast the m5 could muster up was 12.6 at 114. Now the fasted stock srt8 was 12.7 at 110. I can get him to vogue for this too if needed. But again, don't believe what you hear !lol. The only way this will be settled is when a srt6 runs my stock charger. End of story. So please stop internet racing. Get some of your srt6's here in ny to step up and end this whole thing. Thanks again.

Wish I could take you up on your offer, but I won't be going on the road that weekend & Sevierville is 2.5 - 3 hrs away.
My Best to you!

Leg room isn't a problem, its got plenty of that, its the head room that is tight, I have about 1 1/4" between the noggin and the headliner. Wearing a Helmet touches the headliner, but just slightly. You won't be disappointed...

My opinion is about the same as fflores, talk all the smack you want (on both sides) but until there is a heads up race at a track with both cars dressed the same then all it is, is idle chatter.
