2001 Lamborghini diablo =12.0

please feel free to list any others i have not mentioned......

amazing that our 'affordable' sports cars run so strongly against supercars!!!!

 

That is pretty amazing.

We always talk of drag racing against other vehicles. I'd like to see how our cars stack up against the others listed on a road course or auto-x.

It seems to me the SRT-6 is just inherently good at drag racing because of the power to weight, when its real specialty is railing in a not so straight line.

 

It's a good thing these new Mustang Cobra Jet's won't be on the street, at least for a while. They are the new race ready factory hot rod. Only MD on spray would be able to hang, or maybe not. Taking the elevation into consideration they are running low 10's at MIR. This was at Pomona on Sunday hot weather.

Be kinda cool if you could sneak one (or a SS Challenger!) out on the street.

 

Mopar was doing the same thing for the NHRA but rumors are they held off the project. Would be nice to see a race version of the mustang, challenger, and new camaro like the old days.

 

J-fire out of curiousity what ever happen with the exhaust systems you were working on?

 

.....has not been a 'pleasant' experience. there are SO many variables, and we may have gotten over our heads. i love my fellow SRT-6 drivers, but you all want something different. it is no wonder this particular project has not had good results for any who have embarked.

if it isn't stock tips, then it's too loud, if isn't borla, then it should be magnaflow, some want ansa mufflers, some want remus, some want flowmaster some want muffler-deletes, some want 3" piping, some want 2.5." some want aluminum, some want steel, even some asked for titanium!!!! some want just axle-backs, some want headers to the bumper, some want hi-flow cats, some want straight pipes, some want resonators, some don't, some need to meet inspections, some don't have to, some want front pipes, some think they are useless, some want a true DUAL exhaust, some think it's a waste of time......

i don't want to alienate myself from the forum by saying SRT-6 enthusiasts are 'fickle,' but i will say this:

"the exhaust choice for the SRT-6 has too many variables pertaining to each drivers tastes, we probably should all just build our own according to what suits us best."

please don't think i'm irritated with all of you, i'm irritated with myself. i feel defeated. i really wanted this project to work out.

cheers.

 

Your first mistake was asking people what they want. Ask 10 people and you will get 10 different answers! Just pick a performance number to shoot for and make that happen. That will speak louder than everything else. The muffler since they bolt up can be to what the individual wants.

 

J-fire, I had a custom one built straight back true duals here is the link, https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ad.php?t=29634 and to be honest I think it would be too loud for most people. I like it but I made the decision to go as performance oriented as possible and was willing to take the louder exhaust note that comes with it. But as a precaution I kept my stock exhaust intact. I can always change mufflers or add resonators, but then it starts to defeat the purpose of what I originally went for.

 

Too late man, your goin down for this one!

 

That about sums it up. Anything cosmetic or subjective is a VERY tough nut to crack. Dont feel bad about it man. You at least made an effort to solve a request. As said above, you would be better off to pick a design and build it. Post your results and market it. Options could be available, but cost added. Awh heck, just drive your car and have lots of fun!

Yeah, don't sweat it dude. Us SRT owners are fickle. Everyone has their own idea of what is cool and what isn't. Don't let it bother you. Make what you want, and see if you can sell it to others. If not, you still got what you wanted.

 

i appreciate your positivity. we are still going to try a few different combos and DYNO them. i really enjoy the sound of my intake and supercharger more than a violent exhaust, so i will likely choose a setup that gets me a few more ponies AND is close to stock sound. so far we have found replacing the front pipes and putting in high-flow cats is most effective. i will be sure to keep you all in the loop. i have so many other projects going on with this car right now! i can't wait to show off pictures next spring!!!! i'm doing a pretty sick Forged wheel/suspension setup and some custom bodywork as well.(all subtle, but very cool) and the SPEARCO intercooler is next on my performance list. i LOVE LOVE LOVE this car!
