Default SRT4 vs SRT8

I know theres no mustangs involved, but still a good read, I think. Any mustang guys in the UK wanna run with us sometime, pm me.


So heres the story of the little SRT4 and her big brother, the SRT8 Charger when one sunny sunday afternoon, they decided to go out and play, er... kick *** on the highway in the greater London area.
Otherwise entitled WTBriver mod...:tongue:
So this army guy I know named Brian has the only SRT8 Charger (black) that we know of in the country, and mine is one of like 5 SRT4s in the country, and the only one in my area:clap: . We got invited to a mopar show at this air field. There was also a volvo show:rofl: and a Triumph show:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: going on at the same place, along with the TVR club (that was actually pretty cool to see) Anywho, anyone under 3.5" tall loved my car, and anyone over that loved the Charger. Both got a lot of pics taken. The SRT4 and Charger sat there giving threatening looks to all the Triumphs across the way, and they just sat there, shaking all their bolts loose in fear. (me and Brian like to beat up on Brit cars... its like kicking the **** out of a 6 year old in a wheelchair) Enough of that crap, on to the race:ninja:
1st run: 65 roll. 3 honks. Charger gets a late start, SRT4 blows him out of the water, and misses 4th.
2nd run: 65 roll, 3 finger countdown. Charger gets another late start, but not as bad. SRT4 wins, but not by as much. For once I didnt miss 4th.
3r run: 45-50 roll, 3 finger countdown. This is one of the good ones! No brakeboosting or anything, and Brian learns how to count to 3, and so hes up by a fender (lousy turbo lag:zzzz: ), with the SRT4 maintaining bad-assness with a neck and neck race with the thundering V8. A slow shift into 4th puts another couple of feet on the "neon", but I cant see his taillights yet, and am starting to catch up to his front fender. 130 rolls around and we shut down.
Id say the 2 cars are as even as you can get, based on the last run. With a better driver, Amber might have even pulled him. We got back to his house and I was like "That damn things pretty ****in fast" He points to Amber and says "THAT little bastards pretty damn fast!"
We got a lot of looks running down the motorway together. Well have to have another playdate sometime, hopefully with a damn video camera:ben:
