Damn!!!! Thats one hot looking car. And I have no more data than what I've given you. Note the top drivers name on the Charger, that's Ralph Gilles, designer of the LX vehicles.

Dan Knott, the top driver of the 300C is the head of SRT. Also note the sponsors, you can assume these guys have worked closely with SRT.

The Charger looks more like a Daytona to me. Maybe they just dropped the 6.1 into a Daytona body. Still looks fantastic though, I hope they do well.

The new Unlimited division is seeing some great action as well, although no competitors remain penalty free. The race is tight, with the top two spots going to Ralph Gilles and Eddie Alterman in their 2006 Dodge Charger SRT 8 and Jim Kenzie and Brian Bourbonniere in their 2004 MINI Cooper JCW

Just saw this on the Targa Newfoundland Site...

Hmm... bodes well for the SRT8. :happy:

I just saw my first SRT-8 Charger. We had one for the autoshow my college/Program puts on for automotive marketing. I wasnt on the DCX team (wish I was, as I guarantee I know more about their products than anyone else in this entire school) Anyway it was red and on a platform roped off. Insane car.

No quite, but closer than youd think, given the amount of stickerage:)
From what I know they did to that 300C for the One Lap, heres what I sumrise. Facts are bold, suppositions are not

300C
SRT-8 Charger suspension setup
Quaiffe l imited slip differential
Intake and exhaust manifolds "smoothed" *
One off fender flares custom made
Custom BBS wheels
Three way ESP setup tested


I assume the Charger has similar mods.

Hey my06chargerr/tandse, how high an octane does that thing take? and post some pictures and could you give us some details? I would really apprieciate it, You guys that got them already are so lucky, (sigh) Febuary will be here soon right? Sorry about cutting in but I am just really curious about that car.
