be careful...I own both and run them against each other all the time. If you go from a dig, you WILL lose. from a roll..pretty damn even, just depends on the "jump" and temp of the Hemi...I've been actually calling out my shops STS-V, haha ...but we try not to promote or encourage street racing, although I think I can take the STS-V with its upgrades, not so much the XLR-V since we upgraded the pulley and such.
Your sig denotes a 300C, do you have an SRT? We just dyno'd our STS-V at 416 at the wheels, with intake, meth injection, exhaust, and ECU tune ...sounds freaking mean, I raced a customers STS-V from a 20mph roll with our intake and ECU tune and slowly pulled on him, our shop car is another story ...hopefully with the diablo sport tuner, I will have a chance.be careful...I own both and run them against each other all the time.

thats been my experience too..my bro and I take them out to play all the time. If you stayed with him at the very beginning, you did a very nice launch.I had the chance to race a STS-V a couple of weeks ago, not knowing much about what he was packing. After small power play we come to a red light. Once green we launch neck and neck until we reached the next light. Hard to tell who would,ve won. only more footage would tell.
Thank you, nice collection of cars you got there by the way! ...our shops STS-V ran about 366rwhp on the dyno stock, then did all our mods and got about 55rwhp ...heres a vid:wow..thats awesome. You guys are on the leading edge witr those sts-v mods. most are just stock and dyno around the same as a stock srt8 (somewhere in the 370 range, but they do have a bit more torque and it presents itself in the low end)
Yes, I have a modded C, (heavily modded :lol: ), but also a Plum Crazy charger (see pics below), and an sts-v. Your experience sounds about right:
this is my second srt8 and both start off trailing the V from a stop, but catrch it in the very top end. That V is a wicked launcher..I once raced a Grand Cherokee srt8 in it an beleive it or not..launched almost dead even (was behind by 1/3 of a car)
