Re: I did the ultimate mod for a crossfire(V8)
Congrats I am sure that you will have a beast on your hands.
Recently on the Speed Channels "Battle of the Super Cars" they pitted a 2010 SL55 AMG against a 2010 Cadillac CTS V. After they put the cars through various tests (road course, 0 to 100 to 0 and 0 to 60), the CTS V won out overall. Since the SRT 6 is lighter than the CTS V there might be an edge, but it will not be easy.

Hey Jim, you told me about this plan during the Sat. night session at the Dragon. Glad it is under way.I was one of the lucky few that got to drive Pauls car and I think about that experience all the time. When business comes back hopefully I will have one too. Great news and I can't wait to see what numbers you put down at the track.

The S55/crossie is fast and exhilarating, yes, but so is she.
I cannot afford either.

I would settle for a 60-130 mph number from a v-box! Has any of the supercharged V-8 guys logged a 60-130mph yet?

Another one?
If business picks up any at all, Accelerated Industries is gonna be hiring.
