Especially if you're racing the one armed man apparently...

Its not that its just the R/T guys always try to justify why there is no need to buy an SRT8 and that the R/T can beat it with just an intake and tune

this is me vs a 2011 Charger R/T

There are some high 13 - 14 second stock LS1's so I can see it happening

We did a race a while back with my girls 350z a 2v GT and a Charger R/T and they were all about dead even.

Rant:

I've been working on my Mother in Law's Jeep Cherokee; and can say that I'd rather swallow a knife than own a Chrysler product.





That is all.

I raced an 03 Porsche Carrera a few years back but a Charger R/T was also trying to race us... needless to say We would only see him when he would catchup to us while we were sitting at the light we raced to for 5 or 10 seconds... the lil guy judt didn't wanna give up! The carrera driver at one point said "I think that charger is trying to race us too".

crazy thing is... seen a dead quiet R/T pull a 12.8 last year at the track. I was impressed actually since my first run was a 12.9.

And TPI. I've kept up and beaten some R/T's, lt1's, 2v's. I'm still impressed what the v6 stangs can do. Power to weight is on the money with this one.

Just got into a 2 lane onramp race with a new Toyota Tacoma. Guy surprised me, from a 10mph roll we got on it and it took me until at least 60mph to have enough room to get over (thought my lane ended but it didn't). By 100mph when I noticed his headlights drop near the end of the onramp I had at least 5 or 6 cars on him. Just had me worried on the uphill start of the race.

Don't know what they run, but they must be fast enough that this guy was confident he could stop me from passing him in the right lane.

The 5.7 hemi is very much like the 5.7 LS1 so put that in a car that is 1000 pounds more and that's why

I rented a 11 V6 convertible last year and just tore it up the whole week. I actually really enjoyed driving it, and being a convertible it still seemed to be very solid. I never got the chance to race anyone but I'm certain it was faster than my A4 LT1.

Sounds like your average pickup owner to me. Extremely aggressive driving.
