Default first SRT-4 run in...

he was in one of those copper coloered ones... girlfriend in the passenger side...
He strted trailing me and did a flyby in which I tried to shut down but failed... I'm assuming he had a stage 2... an angry pisser BOV and a turbo upgrade to make it sound like a rocket ship in higher RPM's.... anyways he had turbo mods, that I know for sure... don't quote me on stages because I don't know what they are

so in his flyby the light in front of us turns red... and I'm like "oh yeah!"... so we get lined up and when the light turns green I instantly jump a half a car and when second hit it went to a car and then I slowly pulled away with my left hand hanging out the window enjoying the breeze letting him know I'm auto...
anyways we catch another light and this time he tries to brake torque it... I have no idea what this is but he diddn't go SCRRRREEEEECHH!!! like I'm used to.... when we took off it was like SCCRRR-BIP-BIP-BIP-BIP-BIP... for like 1 whole second... by the end of that run I had 3 cars with niether of us making any distance between us

anyways my hands were shaking and my feet were jittery waiuting at the lights I was so excited... my first legit SRT-4 kill... X2

any SRT owners on here want to tell me what was up with his slipping at the line... it sounded like his car got upset at him

Maybe he didnt give it enough gas when he was letting the clutch out so the car started to bip and jump a little.

Nice kill. Man I really need to start modding my GT. Mid 13's are what I'm looking for with some bolt on's.

The only time I raced an SRT-4 the driver tried revving the engine up too, it didn't go "SCCRRR-BIP-BIP-BIP-BIP-BIP" but it did spin the tires longer that he should have (if he wanted to beat me). Good kill though, especially after the ricer flyby and for being a guy trying to show off in front of his gf! [sm=smiley20.gif]

"SCCRRR-BIP-BIP-BIP-BIP-BIP" NICE! That's pretty good description of how a skittle sounds without traction!

SRT-4 are not that great off the line. Most of the owners spin out. They usually play the catch up game. 3rd gear is the strongest so if they catch you in 3rd gear there done. Just what I have witnessed.
