Wow, that car is HOT, inside n out.

The only way you'll be fighting this car on the Oregon coast is if your foot is to the flloor, lol, out of control.

Haha, that should be a profile quote. This car is moving though. A 99' vette with 345 was pulling 12.98@108.85( 3174lbs). Now comparing that power to rate ratio of 9.2(vette) to that of the srt @ a power(425) to weight(4190lbs) of 9.85 and the car is clearly moving hard at all speeds.

I'm sure the vette was putting the power down a ton better than the SRT-8. I'm also sure that the SRT-8 is underrated. Balances each other out; your statement is correct.

A heavier car would put the power down better, and that goes towards the srt pushing bottom 13's, I'm sure between that 99 vette and a current SRT it would be a drivers race.

The CTS-V is more of an all around performance car but this thing is just as fast in the quarter mile even though it's handicapped by crappy tires and automatic transmission.

These numbers actually approach those of the old M-B E55.
