The Caprice SLP has the advantage in power, gears and weight. So the results?

How about that! The SRT8 wins basically all of the major performance categories.
This probably proves the previous posts about the SRT8 being underrated, with the
"392 HEMI" making more like 500 or more horsepower, rather than the stated 470.
