Have you guys not heard of the new roush super charger? Apparently not.

Like my finance teacher said: Things look nice on paper, but making things happen is different.

Those numbers are nice, but why is the smaller engine tearing it up?
His weights are pretty much right on, +-50 lbs. maybe depending on options. By the looks of it, a stock SRT8 Challenger is going to end up ripping you a new one eventually when you come acros one. Maybe then you will open your eyes.

It's not the supercharger (which is an OK design although KB's and Whipples are the way to go) that would hold back the power. It's the engine.

It was built for this engine?

You've got me confused. How is an SRT8 going to "rip me a new one" when I had 5 people at the latest car show out here tell me about the motor trend article and when people have quoted straight from the article here.

It's a mess, but I'll have it cleaned up this weekend and take better pics. Let me know if there is something specific. I will get the ambient lighting at night - that is one of the coolest things.

With the Camaro, Stang, and Chally on the cover? If so they tested an RT Chally in that article, not the SRT.

The 4.6 from the Mustang GT's just aren't up to the task of holdin up to much power past 500 rwhp.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dogging the new Mustang GT. I think they look better than the camaro IMO but I would never say that on this site

But I think even the RT's are ahead of the Mustang GT's through the 1/4 more often than not, regardless of what happened on that article.
