Default Ram srt-10/m5 in last 4 days

I hardly ever race on the street but sometimes you just acnt help it. Espcially when your lucky enough to have a Mam Srt-10 pull up next to you. I had a couple words with the driver at a red light, then the light turns green. We both ease out and about 20 mph, he guns it. As do I. the next light was red so we both shut it down right away. Light turned green and we went from a dig. We raced to about 90. I had about a car and a half on him, maybe a little more. That truck sounded bad ***. He turned off and we gave our respective waves.
And today, im cruiin with my girlfriend in the car and come to a redlight. I see a bmw comin up behind me in the next lane. I always check out a BMW. He pulls up next to me and gives me a "look". I paid to attention to him. Thinking it was just a sedan. the light turns green and i ease out but hear him gun it. You got a good jump on me and i floor it out of instinct i guess. i had no plan on racing him. by 70 i had a good car length on him. My girlfriend was pissed but i was happy. At the next light I got a "man, that thing is quick" I gave him a thank you and went on my way.

I love my car. Cant wait for tax return.........

Shouldn't your RWHP be a little higher? That seems kinda low, but that might be because of the SAE correction. I don't know.

RWHP is about right. Mine put down 343/357 through a similar setup.

BTW, nice kills. I was kind of surprised the SRT-10 didn't hang a little better.

I think he means that his numbers should be higher to not only catch an M5 with a good jump but to pass him. From what Ive read M5's run 12.8's all day long bone stock and are rated at 400+.

Which is right about where a 340rwhp 350rwtq LS1 should run, especially with a good set of tires and a decent driver.

Nice kill.

Im not doubting you. To catch up and pull on him is pretty impressive though.
