Yes, there are now three in the world. 2 in Germany and 1 in Texas. One was built by Brabus/Startech and two are do it yourselfers. Both of the other two oweners and been in communication with me and I appreciate their support. MAXIMUSQUO is the other do it yourselfer and has been contributing to this thread. One interesting thing is that all three cars are Saphire Silver Blue, so keep this in mind when arguing about which color is fastest

Hey Bob, I just had a curious thought. Would an E55 AMG engine fit under the hood of an SRT? It might be a great mod to swap a SRT engine for an E55. I wonder how much the cost would be to do this if: 1. you could find a decent deal on the E55 engine, and 2. sell the SRT engine. Now that would be some killer HP as a baseline to further mod... CAI, Pulley, ECU tune, Meth, etc.
I bet we could see an SRT in the 10s with the E55 engine. Hmmmm..... makes one think!

That is true Mike. Maybe I should specify.... In the 10s anytime... anywhere.... and not just one shot or bottle at a time. Does nitrous really count? I guess it is all in how you want to look at it. I like to know that the time I run at the track is the same power that I have when that overly optimistic badarss pulls up next to me at the light.
This could be argued ad nauseum in a thread of its own, but I did not overlook MDSRT6's time when I made my statement. I just did not consider it relevant to the question I was asking.
