Anybody see any SRT8 Challengers on the track yet (stock)? A friend of mine in California has a SRT8 300 and can run 13-teens almost anytime. I'm not sure of his MPH.
There was a guy on Moparts a couple weeks ago who actually sold his new Challenger because it was only running 101 or thereabouts, and then complained because he lost $9500 when he sold it. There does seem to be a wide variance in performance of the SRT-8's.
