For the heavily modded ones, my GTO has an app for that.

I agree. It's been a while since I was stock as I started the mods almost as soon as I bought the car new. I didn't start suspension mods until '06 and the suspension is nowhere near stock now. Corners like it's on rails and zero wheel hop. I haven't dynoed since I got the Diablosport Predator and custom tune. I figure HP is around 350 and torque around 370. Not the fastest on the street, but I'll shame most other rides. You're right about a lot of srt owners. They gave the car a bad name thinking, after a few mods, they were all that. Silly f****s.

I like our local srt-4 owner. He bought one in really good shape and low miles and its now ragged to hell at only 60000 miles. Its stock and yet he thinks he can beat everyone and his car is god. Should have heard the story book of excuses he gave everyone when I beat him in the SS!

I love that gauge. I gotta get that made into a sticker and put it on his car. His excuse he gave first was that the clutch was slipping. But worse than that he rides around with his intercooler disconnected from the turbo because he thinks hot air is better for it. lol.
