As for the TB SS vs GC SRT8, no surprise really. SRT is more hardcore (when it comes to performance) than SS so that is to be expected. Outside of performance, the TB SS is the better truck/SUV/DD when you take into account fuel economy, tow rating, etc...

Chrysler's SRT, as almost policy, has a (shall we say?) conservative way of rating their horsepower and torque.

Everyone talks about how underrated the Hemi is, but the numbers don't back it up. Every dynojet dynograph I have seen for a stock 6.1 Hemi has them making about 360-370 HP at the wheels. Perhaps a little underrated, but nothing that is blowing my mind.

Edit: Forgot we're dealing with an auto tranny. Still doesn't seem like it's underrated by that much.
