Hey guys havnt had any stories in a while, well none worth mentioning till a few hours ago.

I was driving along when I see a 300C coming up from behind fairly quickly. He gets in the lane over to the left and comes up even with me. I look over and can see some huge brembo brakes through his rim as we're rolling. We are going about 60 at this point and I downshift to 3rd. Right as I do, he takes off and I follow suit.

As I grab 4th gear I pull him back even. Through 4th gear we are pretty even... like nose to nose. I grab 5th and bring his front bumper to my driver door and at that point he hits the brakes so I do the same. The race went from 60-120ish.

I roll my window down and throw a thumbs up out the window as he rolls back up to me. He rolls down his passenger window and I notice 2 fairly large guys. They are both grinning from ear to ear. I compliment him on his car and tell him its badass. I ask "Is that a SRT-8?" and he acknowledges it. He then asks what year is my car and I tell him its a 2011 v6. As I said that his eyes got all big and he smiled and said "Thats fast as hell for a v6"

He throws a thumbs up and takes off slowly. As he does, I see the SRT-8 badge on the back. Overall pretty happy I was able to beat it if just barely. If he didnt have a passenger he would have walked me for sure.

cheers

Damn dude, great job. I'm surprised you were able to match top ends with the big 6.1 Hemi, I need an CAI/tune/gears. I'd say those mods put you just under 300rwhp and a great gearing advantage. Easily a 12 second machine with a good driver and track.

That's nuts...when I was stock trapping 108.59 / 109.33 mph I ran door to door with one from 70 to 130ish... Hard to believe a V6 with just a few mods can match that. Wow

I was suprised too. I was expecting to get walked hard. Ill be going to the track around the end of the month when i get my tires/rims.

I know right, It wasnt an expected win.

Let us know how that thing does at the track these v6 cars are kicking *** it seems.

I really need to think about dumping this turd im driving in favor of something newer... cars just keep getting better every year.

Unless you just don't like it, just drop some $$ into it..

Op, your manual must be much faster than my weaker auto. I played with a 300 SRT8 a friend of mine has and I gotta tell you the outcome sure wasn`t like yours. He left me well behind no matter what roll we used. I did try him from a dig since he has traction problems and I don`t. I did get the jump but it didn`t last long.

His is factory stock and is better than a second faster than my 13.95 at US131. Kudos to what your can can do.

I'll be tryin to track her sometime this month so I'll keep you updated.

Well, you have to consider a few things. The one i raced had 2 pretty big dudes in it so it was extra heavy. Also, is your buddies SRT-8 stock? This one sounded stock cause it wasnt very loud. Also, the race was so close that if i was slow to shift it would have cost me the race.

Besides... he cant put his top down either so dont sweat it =)
