    Last night some of the Chrysler reps were at Irwindale running a new 2008Challenger SRT8. The vehicle had Michigan MFG plates......I have to say it embarrassed all of us wearing the SRT8 badge. The thing never ran better than a 9.8 and every Mustang had there way with it!!!

    I told them they should have stopped by House of Power before bringing it out!!! LOL!!!

    Interesting bunch!

    WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!...........should of at least had a 6.4 in it label as a 6.1 to quote "bring the funk". IMO not smart on their part and disappointing for the SRT8 communtiy.

    That's sad!, I ran 9.0's all day long with my 5.7 and F1's. Who ever is responsible for this should be shot!. :bang::chair::bottom:
