Even though it has a lot of things I would like to see changed I still really like it and would love to own one but I wont be able to for that kind of money....

I don't think the SS will get totally embarrassed by the SRT8 in the straight line. Just going off of the G8 GXP specs, the automatic did 0-60mph in 4.4-4.6 sec (depending on the magazine).

-The SS has slightly more tire, 19x8.5 fronts & 19x9 rears compared to the G8 GXP's 19x8 all around.

The SS has the weight advantage
SS-3,975 lbs
Charger SRT8-4,365 lbs

The Charger will most likely win the straight line race, but it will be closer than some think.
