tires have to accelerate the car. not power. the car would need to keep the tires precisely at their limit. and still no way.


give it 315/35/19 and ill change my mind.


the car is getting tires smaller than i have on my car. insane to think 245's are gonna get a 4200lb car to 3.9 0-60.
Most 6.1 SRT8's came with 255's on the rear as part of the "track pack".

I have not heard if the '11 SRT8 has upsized the tires, but traction control can mitigate that.

A really extreme example of that is the new traction control on BMW's 200 rwhp superbike that's capable of going high 9's stock with a 190 rear tire.
