I know what you're saying. I watched the show- have it TIVO'd - I'm not really impressed with much they've done. I like how he says the SRT8 had a "violent stop"- like what do you expect when you slam on the brakes- the beast stopped on a dime as it should have. Perhaps it yanked his double chin too hard! Sorry, don't care for their style.

Ok, they plan on showing how they added parts to make the car better right. And you're surprised that they're inventing poor performance and characterisitics that they don't like?

Thats horrible. I ran a 13.31@105 in our bone stock SRT-8 Magnum. Those guys should hire a real driver if your going to televise the performance numbers.

I watched the show and noted two things: 1. that guy is about two people's worth of weight, and 2. It looks like they were running the beast in high altitude. Additionally, who knows what kind of "heat soak" they were dealing with...
