Both of those are absolute monsters. Though I'm obviously glad to see the Shelby Super Snake pull out the victory. Thanks for sharing.

Although I like the Challenger and the SuperSnake I am happy with the SuperSnakes victory and respect both vehicles.

Both are formidable cars, and I'd have either.
It's interesting to see, however, that even though both cars make stupid amounts of horsepower, the suspension can't get it all to the ground.

funny thing is there were 2 Challengers at my local strip last tuesday an SRT-8 and an R/T and neither were close to running near my bolt-on 08 Auto GT.....the SRT's BEST pass was 13.55!

I like both cars a lot and I can't wait for the challenger to come out with the six speed in late 08 or 09

I agree I have seen them pull a 13.3 before and also take in mind those cars have 20's stock which will really make your times suck.

The sounds coming from the SuperSnake were enough to make a grown man weep with joy.
Ya think I'd be too much of a poser if I recorded that engine, burned it to DVD and played it as loud as I could every time I rolled up to an SRT 8?
