13.950 @ 101.09 mph (2.196 60ft)
13.957 @ 100.69 mph (2.209 60ft)
13.934 @ 100.30 mph (2.158 60ft)

Pretty impressive! Looks like stock SRT-4 numbers.

Shiv@vishnu:
"I'll post the dyno graph when i get back to CA. IIRC, here are today's tuning results:

Stock: 240whp, 280lbft of torque
w/Xede: 290whp, 315lbft of torque

It's a fast car. Wheelspin in 3rd gear! Whoo hoo!

-shiv"

If EVO tuner's are saying its a fast car, damn!

I believe it's 1st and 2nd for the torque reduction. As far as an Evo tuner: www.vishnutuning.com
