SRT8 goes down... Old Lt1 "1" SRT 8 "0"
So, I'm coming back from picking my car up, just minding my own business. I turn on to 2, and I just happen to glance in my side mirror, and low and behold there is a silver SRT coming up next to me. Next thing I noticed is the nose was coming up and a could hear the sweet sound of WOT. It's a woman driving, and I guess she saw me and was going to do a ricer fly by to show me how fast she could go when I'm just cruising in the right lane. I could not handle it and floored my old tech. In a flash of a second I matched here pull, and then pulled away (while spinning and leaving big black stripes). I then pulled in front of her (on the floor still) to avoid the very slow person in the right lane. After another second or so, and many car lenghts ahead, I let off to avoid traffic in front of me. I look back and she is still on the floor trying to catch up....I played nice and got over to the right lane to kind of give her the thumbs up and instead got the straight ahead stare, like I was not even there (that's also when I noted the SRT8 emblem on the trunk)...... I'm sure she was thinking "how did I get the smack down laid on me in my fast expensive car," to that old tech pink car with a obvious fake roll bar. The straight-ahead stare thing was funny....Here's to you Miss non thumbs up
All testing here happened in Mexico...they have the best races...!

Silver car, brunette/blonde could not tell maybe 30's/40's age. She did have a smokey cover, over her rear license plate.. I doubt it's the same person, as she in no way gave me a glance when she drove buy me very slowly this time....

Lol funny because the first week I had my new motor combo a 300 srt8 wanted to play just west of highway 9 on highway 2. Slapped him over and over like a redheadded stepchild. 
He was cool about it tho. At his turnoff he gave a quick flash of his headlights as a courtesy.

So it was on Hwy 2 out of El Monroe Segusta in Mexico? Sweet! And vs. a Charger SRT8, yes? Which are a lil bit faster than 300 SRT8s if memory serves me....either way, NICE KILL Jimmy!!!! Gotta love those truck motors.

Women hate to lose, they wont acknowledge it at all. I totally trashed a Vette one day in the worst way. She kept it up even after it was blazingly obvious her car wasn't in the same league. No appreciation for the faster car, just the I'm a pms'ing bitch stare straight ahead. I loved it!

)I do like how it hooks even with these 275 17's at night at "PR." Not great, but atleast it does not totally blow the 60's like before. Still could use more rubber but I'm very satisfied with the 1.53 60, just as it came off the street. I might be going this friday and try some skinnies and such. I really would like a 1.4ish 60 foot for the way heavy chevy.

Well bummer I was expecting to race CCC at Pacific this Friday, Pacific lists Road Course Test and tune and no drag racing. Looking at the STICKY it lists May 16th at pacific
