Friend of mine has a 84 Hurst Olds with solid rear axle he is running a 520ci Olds Big block and runs a 10.50 at 140mph with 850hp and 800tq with out a tub he has gone past what the car should have on a 28" tire, I think of the GT 500 like that to much power that is not getting to the pavement, and that is the reason that it is in the 11's.
The Challenger is a bigger car and at the track this may help it in the 1/4.
If this car runs 10's is anyone going to complain that it is too big or to heavy, we will just wait and see.
I am happy to see the big three with a group of cars in the same class, comparing the SRT8 to the GT500 and the ZR1 was a bit like comparing apples to oranges.
The SRT competition is the Camaro SS and Mustang 5.0, the RT was for people that didn't care to be the fastest, until 2015 with the RT Shaker 392.
Question is, how much better would the Vette be at the strip when equipped with a SRA?
