Bone stock, and we've been told by Ralph Gilles (he's had one for a while now, google him) that after 6K or so, the power picks up, kinda like -4s do as they break in.
I would not be surprised to see some 12.9s after owners get some experience and some miles.

Srt-8 are supposed to put 425 whp right? I think the weight is curb weight is around 4160 lbs? That is weak track times imo. I know some reg. 300 c's come all wheel drive. I wander if the srt-8 come in all wheel drive? I only like them because you can put some 22"s and change the front grill and Dubb them out. Even the reg 300 touring are nice without the Hp.

Hey, leather, thanks for surfacing my prediction. Oddly enough, it came true not long after this. An owner did indeed hit 12.9 bone stock. This same guy did a run with spray just recently and hit somewhere in the 12.5 neighborhood, I think.
And leather? How the hell is very low 13s weak? Feel free to show me other cars of this class that you can buy and run 13.1-12.9 right out of the box on stock tires.
Yeah, a low 13 for a 4,200 lb 4 door sedan is pretty impressive .. and it is not 425 wheel horsepower, it is crank power. Most guys get 360-370 Wheel Horsepower on a stock car.
My car ran the 13.3 .. and it just ran a 12.6 recently .... of course, it had other stuff done to it ....
As far as I know, until the supercharged guys go to the track .... this looks like it is the fastest SRT-8 in the country ... (at least that has been publicly posted about)
