    I bought my SXT Plus in June of 2018. It was a year old with 4100 miles on it. Looking through everything after getting it home I found it had a built in 0-60 timer that keeps track of your best time. I noticed the previous owner hadn’t even tried it, so I would occasionally try it. The best my bone stock V6 could ever do was 5.9 seconds. About a year later I put larger wheels and tires on because I like the old school look. I run 275/40/20 in front and 315/35/20 in back. No regrets, but the best 0-60 time I ever did then was 6.5 seconds. Earlier this year I installed a supercharger and have been remote tuning. I hadn’t done many 0-60 runs but tonight my tuning guy wanted me to do a couple and then send him the scan. I left my house, filled up the tank, drove about 5 miles out of town away from everyone and below was my first run. Considering the full tank of gas and that I still run the 315’s, I was pretty impressed with the result.

    That's about the best I can get with 33lbs in the rear with stock 245s on my scat pack. Once I upgrade to wider rears and stickier tires I expect that to improve. It still baffles me why dodge would put 245s on a car with nearly 500 hp. I've been trying to talk my gf into buying a used v6 and using forced air to still have some stump but be able to pass a gas station while driving normally as she puts a lot of miles on cars. Her car is just over a year old with 30k on it had 4 miles when we bought it lol

    Inside the internets! :o
    Do you have any videos of the heritage edition supercharger running. I’m thinking about the ripp kit for my 300 and wanted the louder version of the supercharger. I’d like to hear the whine.

    Nice.
    Glad you are enjoying your car! Fun working on it, right?
    Best I recorded was 4.0 sec with my stock 6.1 w/ 275/40/20 slicks.

    Did you ever get to take it to the Track?
    Would like to see what your 60' times are.

    Here are mine from "Pre-Pandemic" with my 6.1 6-speed Manual
