Default Another srt-4

I have been seeing a lot of srt-4's around the San Antonio area lately...anyways. its about 10 o'clock Friday morning and i was driving on I-10. If anyone is familiar with I-10 between SA and Leon Springs they are doing construction so it is quite bumpy so no racing yet. This guy comes flying up out of nowhere and right away i hear his wastegate as he gets beside me. we cant doing anything just yet because there is a car in front of him and a semi in front of me. A little ways down the road and the semi moves over and no more construction so i hit it and the neon is going too cause he is right on me but i start pulling and i short shift into 5th and he catches back up. We have some open road ahead so we slow a little and i point at him and we go again. i was in third and i shifted to 5th again and he comes around me and puts a 1/4 car on me. we slow it again and i down shift to third again and this time i punch it and i pull even harder than before,i let up a little to see if he is coming and he is, so i punch it again and keep pulling all the way midway through 5th so we were crusing. we give each other a thumbs up and he exits and i take an exit a few miles down to go home.

Cliff notes:
Friday morning crusing back to my house
Srt-4 flyes up beside me
Start in 4th, shifted to 5th catches back up to me
Slow down then punch it again, shift to 5th he comes around me and gets me by 1/4
Slow down again in 3rd, accelerate hard and keep pulling midway through 5th
Thumbs up exchanged, guy exits

And no video. My bad.

They used to be all over my area ~2yrs ago. Now I've only seen one in the longest while.

They only made 25000 of them to start with and I bet kids have wrecked a 1/3 of those already.
