Just admit you dont like them, its okay, but to make statements that cant be backed up in reality just doesnt work. You asked other SRT-8 owners how their cars handled and they old you it sucked? Really? Man, just give up already.
my friend is in auto-x hes a great driver. and i've asked ppl with chargers and 300cs they said it doesnt handle well its more of just a straight line car

I cant speak to the normal models, only the SRT-8s. If your friend only looked at it from an autocross standpoint, that would explain it. See, theres a world of difference between autcross and real world high performance driving. No 4,000lb car is going to do well at autocross, that's not a good environment for it. Taking high speed corners, and by that I mean 70-100, thats a whole different story.

Dont get me wrong, autocross is a blast, Ive gotten to do some of that with the whole SRT line including the Viper, which, shocker, doesnt really do well there, fun, but not precision stuff. The SRT-8s were never intended to autocross. Thats like complaining that your screwdriver sucks because it doesn't chisel well.

so this tells me that the R/T I ran with the other day has some serious buisness going on under the hood or my car was just running shitty that day. Both cars were auto, so hmmm..
You got more HP then is listed in your sig? You better be pushing 340 or so whp to pull 3 cars on a SRT8 from only 40-100, that is short race!

Question J....Are you running a really conservative tune? Those are really odd numbers for a tune? How much boost you running?
