SKittles... Smash the rainbow 
.
If getting too many races is the biggest of your problems, i'd say you've got it pretty good man. Just be careful, one day a stranger will show up and smack you around, then the rest of them will never stop pestering you.

First of Unless they are even worse drivers than you there is no way in hell you could pull even a stock srt4 from a 3rd gear roll @3k rpm. What did they start in 4th or something?
Second why the hell would you be in 5th doing 120? My C5 with 3.42 would do 115 @ the top of 3rd.
I know your car isn't that fast that you can pull a car like that.
You make them stop by not talking **** and trying to make yourself look like a badass on the internet. But thats just my opinion

I just pointing out that his story has so many wholes in it i'm suprised the letters didn't fall through.
Do you honestly think he could pull even a stock SRT 4 that can drive from a 50mph roll if he was at 3k in 3rd gear?
Even better that his car makes so much power that he can skip 4th and pull in fifth gear?

Maybe some of the work to his car includes gears. If he has 4.10's, 50 might be a little too quick for 2nd gear. You never know.
**EDI** I just reread his first post and saw the 3000 rpms thing, I'm with you now.

well i dont know how true his story is, wasnt there so im not gonna bash him. but i can say i raced my boys 05 srt when we were both stock and i raced him from a 3rd gear roll at 60mph and still pulled on him. so it can be done especially if he has mods done to his. i dont know about the 120 mph in 5th though.

I was just there yesterday. I didn't see a blue SS.
I am the black T/A mixed in with all the SRT-4's.
Stop by and say hi next time. Could use another f-body fan to hold the conversations vs the SRT's.
