Trust me, I have no delusions about our limitations.😁 I messed with dudes in my 350, but my philosophy is if you’re going to beat me, you’ll have to work for it. The 500 makes it sooo much sweeter, because the ‘what the hell?!’ looks on unsuspecting faces are priceless. 😈

Out of all the cars I've raced the only one I lost to is a 2022 BMW M550i xDrive. Not surprised though because the BMW is V8 twin-turbo. Nonetheless the dude in the BMW was cool as hell & mentioned at the light he wanted a used GSF but ended up buying a new BMW.

That car is fast! I was looking at them before the IS 500. If they were reliable I would buy one. It is 523hp and 553 torque at 1800-4600 RPM!

That car is in a whole different league than ours... until it breaks down lol

Charger and Challenger V8s are all Hemi's. The R/T's get the 5.7L, while the Scat Packs and non-Hellcat/Demon SRTs get the 6.4L, which is the 392 you are referring to.
