Default small run in w/ SRT8 Charger...

Had a lil run with the "Super Bee" SRT8 Charger...

Very small run, due to a truck trying to switch into my lane but it turned back out as it saw us coming but it was enough to make me wanna brake and not risk anything.

From a 30 roll, he honked it off. I barely heard the honks, he got the jump on me and i ended up at around his back wheels atleast. He didnt jump very far ahead, but in about 10 seconds or so. I had to quickly let off and hit the brakes because of the truck. So i didnt get to see if i could pull him back in, but i do know for a fact. This guy's got a Nitrous Shot. He beat a cammed, longtubed, T/A with it, and lost without it. I was there, friend wanted me to help his car club out and run a race for them. So i know, he'll beat my *** on the shot but without it. Should i be able to take him or hang with him?? I believe only other thing he has, is a tune from one of the handheld programmers.

after you get all your other mods installed and get a tune you should beat him regaurdless if all he has is spray....if hes got more itll be tough but with your mods now all you got is weight on your side and with that its not lookin too good....what the Superbee is is an SRT-8 with badges and some upgraded trim FYI lemons12

Thanks for the responses guy's, and no offense taken. I dont mind racing/losing to a car i should lose to. I was just curious, since it was so short of a run. I didnt get to see if i could pull him in or he would pull further on me.

Im hoping to see him again and get a good run. Just to see the outcome, and then run him again once mods are installed.

and this is just IMO so dont get mad, DONT LET LOSING GET TO YOU, you have a beautiful car one that i will only dream of having, and your having fun! look i can understand losing to a dick would get you upset but as long as your having fun and you run into nice people along the way you shouldnt get upset. There is a sad reality, there is always gunna be someone thats faster even by a little bit, so do what you wanna do to your car to make YOU happy, dont worry about everyone else....but thats just the way i see it

Just read it, nice kill & death. I havent had anyone like that but ive seen a guy call bullshit and have my friend pop his hood to see what he had. All because he said & i quote "i spank hemi's all the time". When my friend told him, he just had gutted cat's & dumped exhaust. He then said, your lucky i dont have my nitrous shot. Idk the weight difference between a single cab chevy or ram but i laughed & wanted to give him the excuse of.... Maybe it's the extra 200+ lbs you have with them 2 gurls in the truck lol I guess he was pissed because he lost infront of them gurls.
