I'd hardly call it "smoking him"...looked pretty even for about 2/3 of the race. Could have been the camera's perspective though.
BrApple-its all in the way it is presented...but everythign on my resume is all me

If you get beat by a 4x4 in a quarter mile run, consider yourself smoked, thumped, waxed, yada, yada, yada.

So the type of vehicle it is dictates what a smoking is? WTF x11000000000000000000000000000? The SRT8 has 420hp. How else was the outcome supposed to be?

And 5000ish pounds.
Edit: And aren't the 6.0 GTOs 400hp?

...and the GTO has 400HP. The SRT8 should get mid to upper 13's and the GTO should get low 13's. The GTO got "SMOKED" because he should have easily beat him, he just couldn't drive.

I aree the Goat driver sucked, but the Jeep is capable of mid 13's without an issue. During joint brake testing with DCX, I recorded multiple 13.2's on the V-box. But 415ft-lbs and a killer AWD will do that. We were pulling 1G+ on the launch....and -1.3 in braking.

SRT-8's are actually running more than 420hp stock. They dynos show them running a good 440-450hp. Very impressive stuff.
