Update: I checked, and Motor Trend recently tested a Charger SRT-8. They ran a 13.5 @ 106 1/4 mile, while when they tested the C32 some time back, they got a 13.24 @ 107...but fwiw, this is a bit quicker than other tests I've seen for the C32, while the Charger is a bit slower than, for example, the 300 SRT-8 has been tested...
So, bottom line is, it's a driver's race, although I still predict the C32 would pull at higher speeds thanks to its more-slippery shape and significantly smaller frontal area.

There was just an aftermarket SRT-8 (a 300, I think) featured in one of the mags, dropping something like 600 HP for not much $$$. I would be really tempted if I were in the market for a new car.

Thank goodness I don't like asian women
In my experience I only care about how I feel about the car, not what others think...

Mine, too (I happen to be married to one). However, I've also learned that Korean women in particular seem to dislike Caucasian men, no matter what they are driving. Not a racist statement - my close Korean female friend confirmed that it is a cultural taboo for some reason... :shrug

Actually I see a lot of Korean women going after Brothas... A person of African American ethnicity.

one of thoes SRT-8 Chargers with My C55. the benz won by 3/4 length. I thought that the charger would be faster with that 425HP/425TQ Hemi.

C55/SRT-8/C32 will be a crapshoot, with slight advantage to the SRT-8 (I feel like a parrot). The race will depend on the usual factors that favor one car or the other (temp, gas quality, gas amount, spare or no spare, passenger or no, quality of launch, state of tune). Blanket statements that one car will mash the other (when both are close in their power/weight ratios) prove only the ignorace of the declarant.

Happened to run a 300C SRT8 last night. It was windy with temp. around 110 F. First run was from 30 MPH roll. I pulled away fairly easily up to 110MPH. He was quite a distance back. From Dig the result was a little better for him since he got better traction with his 20" Rims (He still lost though).

yep, the 20's really add to the look of the car and detract from the performance. Especially stock 20's that come with the SRT8. If you run a smaller, light weight 18's from the Magnum/Charger you shave off almost half a second from 1/4 mile.
Also, depending on the production date of SRT8, he may not have the thermostat update and software update. With those the additional temp would not make that much of a difference.
Still a driver's race though. Thanks for sharing Cobraq8!
