Default Just raced a srt8 300c

Hey guys i drive a 2010 is350 and on the way home from school a srt8 300c Chrysler (i think it was a 2006) pulled up next to me and wanted to race.
So i agreed and we did a 20 roll (I pulled from second gear) and i beat him by atleast 4 cars.
I was wondering if it was a real srt8 or not... i was doubtful that i was even going to win to be honest

The 350 is about 5-600 pounds lighter than the 300c SRT8, but, it's got an extra 100 HP over our 350s. I imagine the 300C also has some horrible gearing. Keep that in mind. Don't mean to rain on your parade.

Could have just been the 5.7 Hemi.

yeah i had no clue i saw his srt8 badge so i was kind of scared no lie, but yeah i can imagine his gear ratios were horrible from a roll since i down shifted down to second to take off on him.

There is a trim line for them too that is just an "SRT Design" in which it just has all the visual cues of the actual SRT-8 minus the engine. The SRT badge looks similar, but I think it said Design somewhere on it as well.
