its closer to 300lbs lighter, so if they reduce the weight a bit, those numbers could be real. again I want to see it tested and i want to reserve judgment til they do an all out press release but all im saying is that it isnt out the realm of possibility.
MDS doesn't make you go faster, and the GTR already has VVT. Its unlikely that the SRT8's would be geared as aggressively as the GTR but possible. If they cut weight, its only going to be around 100 lbs. But it still won't have AWD and it will still be heavier. I'd estimate that it will do 60 in about 4.2 or 4.3 seconds, if it gets ~475 hp. But some say it could get a good deal more than that. In which case, they might be able to bring it down to 3.9 like you suggested. We shall see. But ~475 hp and 3.9s to 60? I don't see it.
