Default Machinator vs. Challenger SRT8!

So today, I meet up with a buddy of mine to have some lunch and show him the car. On the way back to drop him off I spot a Challenger SRT8 with at least a catback(sounded very nice). I ask my buddy if he mind, he quickly said no, eagered to see what the car could do. So I slowly pass him and give him a rev, to which he quickly responded to with what most would call a ricer flyby. I catch up to this guy and I tell my buddy to tell him to slow down to 40mph. From 40, he honks it off and when I nail it the rear end goes all over the place, I throttle back to half throttle and once it hooks I hit it again, at this point he's a good 2 cars ahead and pulling, I hit 3rd and reel him in very fast and by the time I hit 4th, he lets off and Im about a bumper ahead. I lower the window again and tell him to hop on the highway for another go and he agrees. On the highway we do a 60mph, he honks it off and I just start pulling, he stays in it so I wind it up to about 130, at which point Im about 6 cars ahead, my buddy agrees that that is a fair calculation of the distance. The guys gets off and never saw him again. Damn that felt good, LOL. I had a camera with me but couldn't figure out how to set it up for video(its my wifes, go figure, they always buy the most complicated sh*t)

Walked him hard, awesome. Would have been a decent match when you were N/A.

Not really sure, he would most likely pull on me from a high roll.

Nice kill Dark! You walked him pretty hard. I agree with 83 that you would of been a better match for him NA.

I'm curious to see how you stack up against a Cobra, stock and/or with a few mods.

I was almost about to call BS until I read about the blower swap. Very nice first kill!

He would walk a stock cobra hard. Keep in mind they put down around 360RWHP stock... he is putting down an additional 64RWHP and probably weighs about 300lbs less. I can keep up with Cobra's pushing ~450RWHP because of the weight advantage.

I would figure but you would stay pretty close.

Both of you lost a lot of your weight advantage when you threw that blower on and all of it's supporting mods. The blower and the IRS are the two main reasons a Termi weighs more.
