Exclamation Just got smoked by a white Dodge SUV thing

I was just out cruising back to work after grabbing a bite to eat and I got pumbled by some newer 4-door Dodge wagon/SUV looking thing. My 02 SS has been 12.90's with Drag Radials and now it has Blizzacs on the back but everything else was the same.

It was behind me and then beside at a stop light. I did not intend to race the guy but my lane ended about 10 yards ahead so I punched it when the light went green, his fender was at my door m so I banged second and went WOT and he friggin passed me. I merged in behind him and then my turn came up and I got off that road.

WTF. It wasn't a Cherokee SRT8 and it certainly wasn't V8 because it didn't sound like it. It had 5 star rims and quad exhausts..thing was white ?

Caliber SRT4's never came AWD. Only FWD 6 speed. The motors are BUILT and can take a **** load of boost.

They make 285hp at the flywheel and weigh 3200lbs.
I'm not sure how far the stock turbo can take them.

I just noticed, there really isn't a SINGLE good angle for that car...

I bet it was a caliber or a nitro. Tho I have a hard time thinking it was nice. I have driven many of both and they are junk. Guess you have mitsu to praise for that one if it was a caliber. Mitsu/dodge/hyundai share that engine. 285bhp not to bad. Probably something very close to what the evo has under the hood.

Is this a joke? A dodge journey. A Fu***** crosover kicked your ***? The dodge version of a pacifica? Really? Death by mini minivan. I hope this is a joke.
