Well it's possible that he tried too hard to launch and just sat there spinning and you got a jump, but I doubt it took until 100 for it to catch up. I just don't see that 239HP on a Dynojet is going to be enough for that.
Exactly how did you determine it was the SRT exhaust?
And they do make an "SRT Design" package which has badges very similar to the SRT ones, and the cars look very similar.
But hey, what would I know??
The SRT's are auto-stick...HUGE difference in just punching it while driving down the road and actually downshifting into a lower gear. I would agree that they have the same deadspot feel to them if you just punch it though.

im serious guys there are so many bs stories here it is unbeleivable. This may not be bs just a misunderstanding, but god damn some of you guys are just relentless.
"i just beat an 03 cobra from a roll"
"he wasn't racing"
"no man he's my best friend, and i asked him after the race if he was racing, and i have a signed document saying he was, and video, but awwww man my usb cables aren't working you guys are just gonna have to go on trust!"

if it was a short burst like 20-80 or something like that i may agree if he was caught in a higher gear or something, but how the hell do you beat the driver in a car that will out trap the balt by an easy 8mph average, and can run 12's bone stock with a 5-speed auto in a race from 0-100+.
