Default Fun little run in with an SRT8 Challenger

Let me preface this story with the fact that I lost by about half a car. Anyway so I am at my sort of local cruise when I stop at a red light next to this challenger. Now I had two extra people in my car and I think he had one passenger. So we probably rolled off from a 10 when we both really got on it and I honestly feel like I could have got him if I just had a little more going on under the hood, but the real payoff came after the race. He looked over and said out the window "Things pretty fast for a V6!" And that is why I love the LS4. It has SS badges but it's still a pretty decent sleeper.

I would be lying if I said it wasn't me who followed him around a bit just to see what it had.
