Raced a modded srt
So im heading on a 4 lane road that leads out of town and into the valley where there is pretty much nothing. I see this srt4 up the road a ways. So i get next to the srt. Now im not sure what this guy has, but this was about the fastest sport compact ive ever raced and that includes the sho.(Raced a stock srt4 in my old taurus sho and lost) Looked like he had a few aftermarket gauges, the car was loud and you could hear the bov from a mile away. I think he might of had the boost cranked up to because you could hear that thing build boost from a ways. So im thinking this guy has a possible chance of beating me.
Race 1:So we go from 20mph, i dont get traction at all on this slippery *** surface, so its pretty even thorugh first, second comes and i shift to hard and have trouble finding traction in 2nd. Once i do i start to pull finally, by the top of 3rd i have about 4 cars on him.
2:Same situation, 20 mph roll, this time i get a little bit better traction in first and am able to pull half a car, 2nd comes and i gain a couple more cars, go into 3rd and put another 2 cars on him b4 i shut down around 85.
Now we stop at a red. Hes got his girl with him and shes smiling and hes like "that thing sounds badass." And i say "Thanks man, that thing is awsome. You can hear that thing spool up for miles. Looks like its time to see what happens from a stop." He laughs and were off. I am actually able to get a good launch and run through 1st, so i got about a car on him, 2nd comes and i put a few more cars on him and thats enough for me.
The guy gave look at me and says "Ill see ya around" and i give him a .
He seemed to get really good traction, not really spinning much at all. I know those things have quiafes but maybe he had better tires? Or maybe he just doesnt have the traction issues i do.

a stock GT, probably blow right by....possibly. depending on him hookin up was a once in a lifetime thing, and how good the GT driver is. but, either way, congrats on the win(s). if she looked good, shoulda raced him for the girl. j/k. youll see him around. and everytime at least in the side-view, if not the rear-view. GAWD I LOVE MACH 1'S !!!! theyre gorgeous and sound SOO DAMN GOOD !!!

I would have thought that the srt-4 would have put up a better fight ...but then again he might have just had a BOV and exhaust ..who know's....u should have gone from a 60mph role would have like to c how the srt-4 did from a high role...still good kills!
