Default New Charger R/T Hemi Daytona got spanked.

Last night i saw one when i was running to Walmart so i decided to play with him. Got next to him and gave it some gas and he looked over so he knew i wanted to play. As far as i know it was stock. It was red with the daytona badging and appearance stuff and the Hemi. Anyway i couldn't get him at a light so i decided to give up and went down an off-ramp and he was right behind me. Just missed a light turning red so we paced each other from about 35-40 mph and i rolled down my window. He got next to me and i wasn't sure if he was gonna punch it and then he did. I downshifted from 3rd to 2nd and we were close until the top of 2nd gear and then i started to pull. I hit 3rd and pulled even harder. Went to 4th and kept pullin' until about 90 ish when i shut down . I thought maybe he let off but as soon as i hit the brakes i could hear his car still WOT and he did a stupid ricer fly-by . Didn't wave, nothing. I'm sure he was pissed my old LT1 spanked his $40k+ Charger. It was the first race i'd gotten against one of these. Makes me not worry too much about the SRT-8 one's or are they a whole lot quicker then the regular R/T's?

Seen a SRT-8 at the track a couple of weeks ago and it did real well. 13.0 and maybe a 12.9 but I cant remember trap speed. Much faster than the R/T.

The SRT-8s are no joke, but the R/Ts are.

They are still what, 345 HP. I figured it would have been better for him from a roll then it would be for me but i guess not. It was a fun race though
