Default LT1 death - But made other guy feel dumb

Ok... so im following some "friends" to watch a fight whe na balck SRT-4 drives by. This one i had never seen before, and had out of state plates (cali or something). I quickly made sure i had my friends numbers and then gave chase.

As soon as I cought up to it we both had a light. He knew why I was next to him so no words or real looks exchanged. He gave a lil rev when then other light turned yellow. We both took off and I immedietly had the jump. I stayed ahead through first... hit second and jumped ahead a bit, then he started pulling me.

By the end of second he has his fender in front of me and we shut down. He was driving next to me and wit ha lil cocky tone to his voice he says "I run 12's". I smiled big and said... "I run a 14.9" and then i started laughing.

I know it was jsut a SRT-4 with minor mods at best and very very far from a 12 second car. Im gunna give it low-mid 14's.

Why are people retarded and say stupid **** like that?

Chances are his car has never been to the track and he doesnt know how fast it is so he asked a friend.

Him "How fast do you think my car is?"
Friend "Dude, its fast, its probably like 11's."
Other Friend "Nah, not 11's, thats like Fast and Furious Fast, he's probably 12's."
Him "Ya, you're probably right...12's"

Some of those cars are quick though, actually nice cars IMO.

But anyway, who won the fight?

They run low 14's stock. He might run high 12's on slicks, so that would put him at mid 13's on street tires.

Ok the guy is from South Carolina or whatever. Supposedly he has the Stage 4 kit made by the company that makes the special SRT-4 (the one with adjustable suspension and ****). He claims he runs 12's. But i really honestly run a 14.9 and street tires (at our elevation), so he is far far from it. id ive him low 14's at best.

You guy have to remember to take elevation into account. We are way up there. I have talked to people who have moved her from like Cali, and they say it is hard to breath up here. REALY thin air.

Neon SRT's don't hook real well at launch I understand that, but did you think putting on slicks will drop him 1.5 seconds?
