No no, you're incorrect. I've run with 3 SRT-8s before; one 300C SRT-8 from a 60+ roll, one Jeep GC SRT-8 from a 60+ roll, and one Charger SRT-8 from a stoplight to ~ 110mph. I beat ALL of them without a problem! :rocks: The Charger SRT-8 was the most challenging...he got a better launch than me, but we were dead even until I hit 3rd gear, when I pulled on him and ended ~ 1.5CLs ahead when we shut it down.

I've documented all these runs in older threads, but no videos.

A stock 335i could have some difficulty with the SRT-8s (could be a driver's race), but a PROcede 335i does not. Yes, they have 425BHP and 420 lb.-ft. TQ, but they're very heavy (>4,000lbs.)...kind of like flying bricks.
