A 300C SRT8 in the high-12's? All stock? That seems a bit excessive maybe?
Last year, me and my son were down at Englishtown for what was "supposed to be" a day that a bunch of guys from the Cadillac Forums were going to be there. I brought my FTS and ended up being one of only two that showed up. Great day we thought, until we saw a couple MOPAR's in the pits. One SRT8 Charger and one SRT8 300. These were the first ones I'd seen on the street so we went down and checked them out. They looked nice of course being brand new and all. Then they hit the track. The Charger pulled a 12.8 and the 300 pulled a 12.9 E/T. We immediately ran down to the pits to see what was going on. When the cars returned to the lanes, each driver popped their hoods to cool the engines and we were surprised to see that both were "bone-stock" down to the factory air filters! I have since driven a couple SRT8 300's and I love them! No way will I disrespect these cars on the road.
Wow a 300C... Gosh, nice kill there mang
The other day this 18 wheeler revved on me... I taught that biotch to respect the stang just like you schooled that 6000lb war wagon...
Check geoffsgt's sig. He drives a 2003 GT with a best 1/4 of 14.41.A regular 300C Hemi or not present absolutely no problem whatsoever. If it wins against a 99+ GT then the driver needs to be punished badly.
It's just a car. You don't have to be afraid of cars.....although not enough to instill fear!
So basically everyone in a Mustang who runs slower than a 14.48 should sell their Mustang? I'm sure you'll find lots of those on Stangnet. You should get started, telling them why they should sell their car.blubullett said:Are you guys serious? If you loose to one of those you need to sell your car and stop embarassing mustangs.
I ran against an SRT8 on an open track night, and it was a solid 14.00 car.
Geoffsgt:
Best 1/4: 14.412@98.12 w/ 2.298 60' and 1/8: 9.409@77.64
Undercover:
Best E.T.---14.48@93mph w/2.67 60ft
Anything stand out to you besides the so so 60' times? What this tells me is that the GT with a trapspeed of 98mph is considerably faster than the 300C with a 93mph trapspeed. Traps speeds are more important factor than ETs when you are referring to a cars capabilities. So what it is really telling me is that the driver is leveling the playing field, not the car. So again I state, a GT SHOULD have no problem with a 300C, 5.7L hemi or not.
Ummm... no you didnt. Those cars are low 13 second beasts.
That still doesn't make sense, by your argument then that means s/c Mustang GT's that are putting down 400rwhp and running low 12's and trapping 115mph are just as much of a car as say a 900rwhp Supra that is also running low 12's at 150mph. Just b/c the cars run similar times doesn't mean that one isn't a faster car. Regardless of the ET, tranny type, cylinder number, EFI or carb'd, FWD or RWD, green or blue, etc... the trap speed is more indicative when determining the vehicles potential and power output than the ET.

That is true. I ran 13.2 at 112mph. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true. I have the slips. Those Gatorbacks didn't have any bite. My cousin ran a low-12's in that speed range with his Mustang.
