Usually when a magazine tests a car and states its 1/4 mile, its tough for the average driver/owner to obtain similar numbers... at least with what i've seen.

I own both cars. I'll let you find out for yourself.

What's done to that Charger? It's not an SRT-8 from what I can tell because of the hood, and it's definitely not a stock R/T either from the time it supposedly ran.

You should race him on the condition that he agrees to do an HDPE event with you too... then you can add up points based on how badly one beats the other in their respective element and *then* declare a winner...

I have driven a Charger SRT8 on an autocross course. (close cousin to the 300) It was no ballerina, but it changed direction well for a big car, and it had a lot of power.
While my Z can put down better times on an autocross course, I am sure the SRT-8 would crush my DE-motor Z in the 1/4 mile.
Unless there is a big driver-skill gap in your favor, I expect your HR Z to get "less crushed" than my DE would.

The SRT8's are no joke, I've seen a few run here in Arizona at Firebird and Speedworld. The fact that most GTO's and Mustang GT's are stuck in the mid 14's (if they're lucky low 14's) and I'm seeing SRT8 Chargers and 300's belt out mid 13's hanging with LS1 Vettes and Modified LS1 Camaros and TA's, says enough about their straight line performance to me.

besides some funny statements in this thread.....an HR Z v an SRT8 would be a good drivers race... both seem to run mid-low 13's out of the box...

That was not an SRT8, it was the R/T, but it was built, with heads/cam, etc, also running on drag radials.
Nice guy though, chatted for a while after the race. He has a real sleeper!
I ran in the slow lane too, with no prep, not like it would have made a difference.
