The srt8 charger isn't that quick, it's a low 13 car.
Honestly, with his current mods, all it will take is traction and/or driving. I think the car has it in her, but those tires i see in the pic don't inspire confidence.
As far as running shortbelts, ditching weight, i think that is kinda silly in a bragging rights street race. IMO, that puts an asterisk next to your name on the list, people will always say "but" when speaking of the race. Any idiot can start unbolting stuff and lightening the car.
If that's how you always drive around normally, that's fine, other than that it won't really help prove anything.
A money race is totally different, that's the race where you do what it takes to win.
They are by no means slow!!! I lub my Hemi's!LOL...low 13 second with a person who doesnt know how to drive them.......I have an 06 300 srt8..NOT slow at all.i do have a tuner and bolt ons ..And someone said there slow off the get go they do 0-60 in the 4.5 range i would say thats pretty quick....
I'm with f8tl. If your car is running right, it should have no trouble beating an SRT8. Those cars just aren't that fast. I guarantee if I was driving I would get him on a street tire and with a clutch. I'd put money on it. Put a better cam in the car and a bottle and it would be a sure thing.

How long you been racin' my man?Damn another 14 second SRT8 on youtube.
My point is this. Everyone looks at the fastest car they can find like theirs and compare their car to that. Everyone assumes that since it's an automatic you can just mash the gas and it should run a 12.6 every time. In the real world, for every one person that takes their SRT8 to the track and runs a 12 second quarter mile, there are 50 guys who go to the track and run a 13.5 or slower. Mid 14 second quarter mile is slower than a stock Fox can go. If you want to win races I have some solid advice, practice practice practice. If you can drive your car consistently and cut a good light you will win most of the time regardless of who or what you are up against.
Anyone cocky enough to talk crap about an HCI Mustang when they are driving a stock Dodge probably has little or absolutely no track experience. If you want to win a race, get the edge on experience. If you did two test and tune nights before you raced, and he has never taken the car down the quarter mile, I don't think you would just win, I think you would embarrass him.

Back in the day (1998) we took a 86' 5.0 stang with 4.10:1 rear, Tremec TKO, HCI 5.0 with all of the exhaust stuff done, and went 12.7 in the 1/4 mile and EVERYONE at the track thought we had Nitrous or a blower on the car. Even the announcer at the track said that the car must have Nitrous or a blower, "cause a N/A 5.0 dose not run that hard". It took launching at 5,500 rpm on slicks to get the car to run the number tho. My how times have changed.
