Back to the point. A stock R/T or 6.1 Charger is not going to "blow the doors off" an L99, if anything it would be the other way around. A bolt on tuned LLT with driver mod should run neck and neck or beat an R/T and be within a car of the slowest SRT8 6.1 auto variant.

I trapped 108 stock 100????.....lol... I know you have the G35 from another thread on here that beats all GTO's Ls'1, Lt1's, Camaros, Srt8's or anything that has a v8... I can't help you have to live with your v6 and your trying to make it something it's not. Nice try. Anyone who knows cars doesn't fall for your B.S.

I'm sure they do.... somewhere in SRT fairy land. There was an srt8 on 75 shot that trapped 109 that night though.



The car on the left is the Charger SRT8, the car on the right is manual LS2 GTO. All of the cars ^ are 6 cylinder family sedans. Thanks for playing, though.

Magazine racing......... c'mon. Mags also said the 392 was a high 12-13 sec car... They will run mid to low 12's as we have seen. I base what I see at the track, cars I have driven & raced not what I read.

Wow, so these are family sedans? Have you ever sat in the back seat of a 3-series BMW or Audi S4? I have and its not a comfortable ride and I'm only 5'11". They are sedans, but if you want a FAMILY sedan you better move up to the 5-series or at the very least the S6. So you're not exactly comparing apples to apples. If you want to fit 5 passengers of my size in a car comfortably it won't be in any of those that you listed. But it would be in a Charger. More room means more weight, which requires more engine to move the car. Its simple math but I expect that you know this already. Now, load a few passengers in each of those cars and then a few in the SRT-8 Charger and you'll understand the importance of displacement and low end torque if you want to keep going fast with more than one person.

By the way, the cars that you posted times for are called "Sport Sedans".

Srt8s are low 13 sometimes even high 12s stock depending on track/weather the same as the Ss

"My g35 is fast"

The magazine clip and time sheet you posted means you'd lose if the G37 S did

Here's some math I like, 8>6. Case closed. No chance that a V6 hangs with the SRT8, even if it's in a heavy car with the 6.1.

I guess you've never heard of the VQ?
268 ft/lbs of torque, DOHC....I could go on.
Suffice it to say, that's the motor the GM wishes it had for the Z06...instead they've got some junk dinosaur pushrod v8 in there.
My dream car is a a Z06 with a VQ swap.
