Ronin,
I have seen you on other forums, but WTF are trying to prove here?
All I have read is that you are the one starting the arguments... lol
I would certainly hope that the Jeeps have a much better 60' time, after all, they are an AWD monster. lol
But like Larry asked, what do YOU drive, or even own? And my the way, WHO CARES which line is faster? We are ALL in the same family and ALL have monsters from the factory.
And by the way, the SRT10 RC or QC are not faster than the LX platform. They are a drivers race. And yes, when my Charger was bone stock, the wife (mrssrt10) and I had 4 races. We are tied. hehe
I'm not trying to prove shit, other than the comment that
"...a Charger SRT will walk the Jeep SRT in the 1/4, every time..." is just simply not true. I can't help it if it hurt some people's butts, that statement is not an incontrovertible fact. I started this thread and put up the facts that prove exactly my point, but I guess since I'm new here I must not know what I'm talking about...
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and will NOT interpret your comment
"...what do YOU drive, or even own..." as calling me out as a poser. But since the comment's been made;
Current rides are a 300 C SRT
DESIGN, which is not an SRT (for the umpteenth time!). Mods, zero, 'cept for tint. It's a lease so I won't be dumping money into it. My bride typically drives it. My '05 QC is a whole week old now, with its extensive mods in my sig.
It's a third (4-wheeled) vehicle (I have 4 two-wheeled if anyone cares) so it's not likely to get any real "mod attention" for a while. I typically drive my '04 Ford Excursion that's heavily modded, inside and out, top to bottom. Haven't dragged it yet (because it's a tow vehicle, and I don't need it breaking down in the middle of no where 'cause I trashed it on the track) but @ about 600 RWHP and 800 and change torque, that'd be good for sub-14s...no? :burnout:
HAD an '07 Jeep SRT. (Traded in an '03 Navigator and a '05 Avalanche when I bought that, if anyone's keeping track). Had an '05 Magnum R/T that was moderately modded (bolt-ons), and sold that and the Jeep (which was lightly modded) and got an '04 Mercedes S55 AMG; the only mod on that was a Mann drop-in air filter. Didn't need anything else, since it could hand about anything its ass from a dig...roll...whatever.
There, that about covers that...now where were we? Right, me (the fuggin' new guy
) posts that the comment, made members that have been here a whole lot longer than I have, so they must know better, that
"...a Charger SRT will walk a Jeep SRT in the 1/4, everytime..." is simply not true. Even though I said I wouldn't, I went ahead and put up stock 1/4 mile runs from Drag Times, and a video from You Tube with a stock Jeep SRT walking a lightly modded Charger SRT. I'm not MSU'ing (Making Shit Up), it is what is, and if someone's pussy gets hurt in the process, tough shit.
What ever happened to respectfully disagreeing, stating your case, and, if necessary, agreeing to disagree? I did just that and got jumped on as not knowing what the fuck I'm talking about, 'cause, well, I'm new. Don't plead that kind of case if you're a defense attorney, your client will get the death penalty for shoplifting.
All in the SRT family? Sure, absolutely. I can't tell you how many times I've given a thumbs up to someone in a SRT-4 (in one of my aforementioned rides) and gotten the "...huh?..." look, but more often than not got it returned. I don't care what you drive, the same as I don't as far as 2-wheels are concerned. I'll wave at a Honda, Harley, or a fuggin' Vespa for Christ's sake when I'm on my custom chopper (300mm rear tire, 18-inch seat height, air ride, nitrous, 53 degrees of rake, etc., etc., etc.).
Didn't say shit about the SRT-10s 1/4 mile times either, RC, QC or ABC... I know from driving both that my Jeep SRT would have stomped it off the line, and most likely eventually would have been reeled in by the 10. My 9K pound Excursion sure pulls a whole lot harder than the 10, especially when the boost gets up there (around 30 PSIs) and the water/meth dumps in. But that's comparing stock to HEAVILY modded, which is, well, retarded (I'm a poet and I don't know it!). Since they're all my rides (at one time or another) despite the fact that no matter how hard I try I can still only drive one at a time, I can say what my own personal experience is, period. If my observations hurt someone's feeling (no "s", purposely), again tough shit.
GTG's? Don't really do them for two reasons. (1) I'm in RI (we're actually a state now) and the NE GTG's typically require travel and (2) it's just really not my thing. I did participate in a tiny, local GTG (4 whole Magnums!) and it was OK, but it was time better spent doing something else, no offense to anyone there. Guess I'm just not much of a people person. Oh yeah, I'll include the SRT Experience that I went to in Watkins Glen last year as a GTG. It was decent, but more than one person there struck me as an over the top chest beating keyboard warrior, and made sure everyone knew what a 1/4 mile king they were. That's why it was great that I beat every student that I dragged race, and the only close one was a Jeep versus Jeep for the "championship" where I squeaked a very experienced (in his words) drag racer. Hmmm, not too shabby for a "new" guy. I would have taken up my instructor's invitation to attend the next day, for the bubble, as their "guest", but I had my fun and had stuff to do...
Any other questions?
Thanks. That's all I got. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming...
