Yeah, the SRT is a nice SUV but they gotta weigh 5200-5400 without driver. It's funny--I tried explaining power to weight ratio in racing to my nephews and either they were extremely ignorant or kidding that they didn't understand the physics. I'm sure they had to be kidding because no one can be that dumb.

Speaking of power to weight ratio--the Hellcat is another example. THE CAR IS TOO HEAVY! We were at Rock Falls and saw one running low 12s. I sat by his family in the stands and they were commenting that he wasn't getting traction. The frickin cars have traction control--which is one of their technological advantages! What's sad is people go out and buy them and think they can automatically run lo 11s stock or hi 10s with drag radials. When that doesn't happen, they mod their 707 HP car to get it to perform better and claim they're "stock". If I can run well into the 11s with a street driven car with 19 year old technology with A/C and no power adders, in my opinion, a car running 11s with s/c or nitrous is a joke. And...if those cars are modified on top of that, I'd be embarrassed.
