Dusted an SRT8 - 300 I'm cruising down the interstate back to work from lunch and I pass a black SRT8 Chrysler 300. I'm not speeding, only going about 72. Next thing I know I get a ricer fly bye after I switch back to the right lane. Well, I couldn't stand it so I had to get some. I caught back up right behind him and waited for him to hit it. He did, I instantly started to just about run over his bumper, so I changed lanes and pulled several cars on him. Next thing I know, there's some dude in an RX8 pulling up wanting some of both of us. He immediately gets put down by both me and the STR8 as I pull away from both of them. I hit my exit and givem the thumbs up.

Dyno Dynojet - 421HP/381 TQ
Mustang - 400HP/370 TQ
On the Mustang dyno trial, several people including me had problems on at least one run where the brake would overload the car. My car on the first run hit a brick wall at 6000 rpm and would not climb another rpm. The next two runs it went to 6500 no problem. Then my buddy put his Turbo T on and his car makes around 550HP/600TQ and the dyno did the same thing to him, but his car over powered the tires and started spinning on the drum. They had to tighten the straps down for him. The next run for him was fine. Not sure what was causing it, but everyone there that day dyno'd about 20HP less than normal. BTW, I changed oil the next day and found a piece of broken valve spring on my drain plug magnet.
Ya think...

Nice kill. I had a guy in a RX-8 that wanted to run my turbo gt gp. I just laughed in his face. Those cars are slow. I think a stock v6 camaro would walk one. lol

They do, and I get about 15 more mpg then the rx8 does. Who designed that peice? Burns oil by design, slow as molasses, engine flooding, and gets 13mpg. What was mazda thinking!?

So, a 3400lb car with 200hp will outrun a lighter car with 240hp, something wrong there. Even the autos have 210hp, I thought about getting an rx-8 at one point, test drove an 06. The interior I really liked, and it was good in the corners, but the z put it to shame as far as straight line acceleration went. To the op, good kill and make the mazdas show you some respect man.
