I don't think anyone puts much stock in manufacturer marketing numbers. They may be accurate, they may not. Independent reviews will provide a better reference.



The numbers add up all right...

MotorTrend: 0-60, 3.7sec; 1/4mile 11.7 @ 125.4mph; 4449lbs automatic
Car&Driver: 0-60, 3.6sec; 1/4mile 11.7 @ 126mph; 4488lbs automatic
Edmunds: 0-60, 4.8sec; 1/4mile 12.5 @ 118.8mph; 4454lbs manual
Did they get a 6.4L SRT8 by mistake? Or did they just mash the gas & assume tire smoke meant the car was going fast?
