Kicked a baby seal.. Well to start off with, I'm extremely disappointing! Drove all the way from Dallas TX to Orlando FL...AND BACK... and only got ONE race!!!
Anyways...
I was on I20 heading out of Texas when this Chrysler 300 Hemi C flew by. Him and this poor little Cadillac STS were playing around, with the Chrysler constantly raping him (it was an older model with the northstar v8!!!)
I kinda felt bad for the STS and waited a few cars back for my precise moment to strike.
The Cady was in front, then the 300, then me. All of us in the left hand lane to pass a slower car on the right side. As soon as the 300 could, he flew around the Cady into the right lane. I followed suit. This was about 70-75 mph, so 3rd gear was amazing! As the 300 flew to the right lane, I was on his ***. As soon as he could, he jumped back to the left lane in front of the Cady. I stayed in the right lane and passed him right as i shifted into 4th. While in 4th, I would say that I gained a good 3-5 cars on him. Finally slowed down at about 150 with at least 7-10 cars between us.
He flashed his lights, and i was going about 90 while slowing down as he tried to go around me. I waited for him to be at my bumper, and nailed it in 4th. Again it was bad. He pulled up next to me and just started laughing. Cool guy.
Keep in mind I had me, and my 400+ lb gf (not really) and an entire car full of luggage and various other things.
Now I don't know whats in them, or how different they are from a srt model. But given the outcome of this, could I expect to easily beat an srt model from a role?

The srt8 models are quite a bit quicker than the regular hemi models, but they are still mid 13 second cars stock from what ive seen. So i wouldnt say a modded ls1 car should have any troubles.
