Default SS vs SRT-4

So I'm on my way home from the Orlando Speedway, driving on I95. Come up behind a Ford Focus and a SRT-4 that were also at the track earlier. The guy in the Focus was being a dick, driving in the left lane, next to another car in the right lane, going under the speed limit and not moving out of the way. So to make a long story short, I finally get ahead of the Focus and the SRT-4. Going about 75mph and I see the SRT coming up behind me, get into the right lane and accelerate hard. I gave him up till he got up the passenger side door when I punched it. He made it up to the front of my car when i started pulling away. By the time i hit 130 i was many car lengths ahead of him, and realised that i still had my A/C on the entire time.
My first real race and kill on the street. Sorry, I'm a suckie story teller.

Good kill. Boy, I'd hate to see what 130mph speeding ticket costs.

Nice kill...but don't be so sure that your A/C was still on while racing.

Oh wow I never heard of that before. It sure doesn't do that in all the other cars I've driven.

Your kidding right? An SRT-4 can lose on the highway, I saw it last night, it can happen.

As far as the A/C goes, dunno about it turning off by itself at WOT. But it was in the on position during the race. My friend was sitting in the passenger seat, he saw that the A/C was still on and turned it off, but the race was pretty much over by then. Anyway, i'm not one to BS, or make **** up. It was my first street race and kill and enjoyed the hell out of it. You fockers can believe it, or not.

Yeah! You tell them!

Congrats on your first kill. I've heard about the A/C thing. Thought they were mistaken. Maybe they weren't.

you know WOT on your car and the clutch disables your AC so it doesn't matter...

I'm with him!!!

The SRT can't lose from a roll and the LS1 nevAr loses so when they race it's supposed to be a tie!!!

Well I didn't know that the A/C disables at WOT, but if that's true, then cool, one less thing I have to worry about during a race. Anyway, I was just happy and posting my kill story. Geez, gotta try and rain on my damn Kill parade!

Thanks to the supporters though...
