Why didn't you go to first? You would have gotten a bigger jump on him. Good race.

Good kill. Those SRT-4 owners are slowly (no point intended) learning there lesson. If you aren't a good driver it doesn't matter what you got, it's not a sure win and they'll have to learn that. Got to love the Food Chain...

45-degree uphill is still a very steep angle. It's half of a 90-degree angle ---> | . Are you sure it's not like 10 or 15 degrees?

Anyway, an SRT is way underrated at 215 hp. Most of them dyno 220 hp AT THE WHEELS. Add 10 or 15% on top of that (for powertrain loss) and you'd have much higher hp at the crank than an S2K, and they weigh less too. No wonder an SRT is a freak; because they have about 260hp at the crank and weigh like 2600-2700 lbs.

You guys are hilarious.

VIrus, how many people did the other car have??? I read the post on the SRT forum, wondering why the facts are so different.
