Raced a Hemi Magnum, and a Hemi Charger, ABSOLUTELY NO CONTEST.... Crushed both of them easily. Tell you what, raced a SRT8 300C at the track and it was fairly close. That big sedan could really move. The C6 still triumphed 12.76 vs. 13.01. SRT8 Charger should post a better time than the 300C as it is lighter.

340/345 bhp and 4200-4400 lb vs 400 bhp 3300 lb.
What do you think?
A SRT-8 (425 bhp) would be a close race if you put 700 lb of Lead Shot in the back of your C6.
A 1988 L98 C4 is a even match for a Std 300C, Magnum, or Charger.
A 1996 LT4 C4 is a even match for a SRT-8.
