Default challenger run..

Raced an orange SRT-8 Challenger, put about a car from a 40 roll. He started about half a car ahead, no "three honks"... he just took off when I wasn't even ready lol. I slowly reeled him in and started to pass him by half a car, then a car before he shut it down. From what I could tell, it was an AUTO. Looks like we both shifted into 5th when I started pulling.

He followed behind afterwards, but I couldn't think of where to go. So I just exited.

Was gonna flash the hazards to see if he wanted to run again , but he didn't seem to want to take the bait. Went our seperate ways, would have been interesting to see how well I would fare from a dead even starting point.

(-:


It was fast but it wasn't "that" fast. I was expecting to get wasted by the hemi lol.

Nice kill. I see them run at the dragstrip all the time. They are generally not that impressive except for this one SRT. It runs 12.0 consistently.

I have raced a few that ran 13.2s with something or another. They were possibly stick shift. The autos I have ran hit 13.4s pretty consistently.


on the street-

Damn auto.. with only a few mods, once 5th gear kicks in (or 4th, with the OD off), that's where the fun ends. It's either pull away slowly or lose quickly! lol

Those cars, when done right, looks sick! Closest to the retro theme out of any cars.

Nice runs, even it does weigh a million pounds.
