Default ... So I ran a Challenger SRT8 Today.

I was out and about today after getting a haircut... I was looking for some fun... I found a Honda Civic Mugen SI, which I had never heard of before so it peaked my interest. He wasn't doing anything so I got bored and headed a new direction and I saw a big orange Challenger... I was getting on the highway and he was pretty far up the road on the access road. I lost sight of him for a minute and started to get sad cuz I was hoping it was an SRT8, then I caught a glimpse of him and made my way to get behind him.

He must have noticed me because I went to get over to get out ahead where there was room to run and he jumped in front of me right when I got over (we were going the same speed tho so he didn't cut me off) Right when he was in the other lane he punched it and so did I. He was already about 1 car ahead of me when we started going, but he wasn't pulling on me... it was pretty much even through the rest of 2nd and part of 3rd but I SLOWLY started reeling him in until I eventually got my bumper ahead of his when 3rd was about to end. We were going about 110. The second my bumper passed his he got HARD on the brakes, got in the turning lane and turned off lol

Now... I know a lot of you are gonna call BS... "The Challenger has 425hp... blah blah blah"

Well, I already raced a Challenger R/T and I walked away from it pretty good. The SRT8 only has 49 more HP. The R/T and the '10 Mustang GT are dead even on the 1/4. The SRT8 is .3-.6 seconds faster... and I already know I can beat a '10 GT. I was pulling one in pretty good before I missed a shift :-(

Anyway... Let the BS flags fly :-)


Cliffs: Raced a Chally SRT8, he started about a car ahead of me from about 45. By about 110 I just barely had my front bumper ahead of his. I am expecting BS to be called :-)
