We are talking about a streetrace here. Not some pussy ass dragrace. Streetraces through regular traffic will need much more than a lot of horsepower. Handling and stability of the car are almost as important. And since Chrysler doesnt even know how to spell these words it will have its ass kicked for sure. Check out what i mean in this video where an old M5 (E39) is hunting an RS4. If u do this shit with a Chrysler u will end up somewhere in the trees.
Sorry, here is the link.

You're talking out of your arse here mate. Sorry, but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. And WTF has a race between an M5 and RS4 have to do with the original post?

Out of my arse?!?! I dont know where your from but here in Europe we dont talk with our arses, but it does explain the smell that comes out of your mouth by the way.
And what i wanted to say with my post is that your "super fast" Chrysler might do ok in a straight line but thats about it. It has no stability, no handling whatsoever and its everything besides a driver's car so comparing it to a bmw is an insult. But i am glad that u do know where your talking about, mate!!

Very mature! If you don't have anything useful to say, don't say anything.

Georgos - awesome video! It is taken in Moscow, Russia btw.

You are right, and I apologize. But for the purposes of the original question, the SRT is actually a monster and will give any 5 up to the M a run for its money. It's a better car than it's getting credit for here.

Edit - but having re-read your post #10 it looks like I'm not the only one who needs to clean my mouth out with soap

I think some of you might be a bit surprised how a 550 might do against a 300C SRT-8. Less power yes, but the 550 is also lighter, has more efficient manual transmissions, and a much better aerodynamic profile. If you get it up to high speeds I bet a 550 could pull on a 300C because those things have the aerodynamics of a house, lol.

I'm a big American muscle fan too, so gotta give respect where respect is due. They're awesome cars too, but just not for me.
