Hey man I'm on spring break all this week so once this snow clears up middle next week we should get out. If you took the camera man I'm sure we could get some interesting runs on film, and try out my theory on getting other people to play on the highway

if i remember correctly he had intake, exhaust, and tune. he claimed 380rwhp. when i raced him i had everything in my sig minus ls7 clutch, ported tb, underdrive pulley, and all suspension mods and on top of that i had a fucked tranny which is currently getting rebuilt, 3rd and 4th gears were broke and it had a lot of other broke peices in the bottom of it from the previous owner. when they rebuilt it last time they didnt clean it out. im also gonna get it re-dynoed to see how much of a diff the tranny rebuild made.

you cant take anyone beating your mighty srt8's can you? its not the op fault someone wanted to race him while having 4 people. maybe the srt8 guy shouldnt have raced with 4 people.At the light they yelled over asking if I wanted to race, which I wanted to anyway. I must've missed the rule sheet on my cam about not racing cars with 4 people in them. My bad. I even mentioned to them after the first race "It's not really fair.. your car is loaded and I'm alone."
I'm just posting up a fun experience.. my first SRT-8 race yet. Some of you get bent out of shape quick.

Only when warranted. Hey, even if it was a CTS-V with 4 people in it, I would still state the same. And yes, I probably would have bothered to read it to!

Personally, I don't look at any race as a waste of gas. Like PSM said, it's a good excuse to go WOT. If racing a slower car is a waste of gas then I hope you never punch it when your not racing...that'd be like an offense worthy of execusion

Assuming he still has those mods, you should take him. I know a guy who has Heads & Cam, Bolt On's & i really dont know everything else he has done to his T/A but he would kill a SRT8 Super Bee Charger with Full Exhaust, Intake & hand held tune. Super Bee's only win against him was on Nitrous. Idk about now though, the Charger has been Cammed & Tuned. I dont think they've raced since then but i would assume you would take that SRT8 if he has the same mods.

im certain i will. i didnt know why i lost, but now that i found out how bad the tranny was i know that was robbing quiet a bit of hp. i should have the car out this week and then i gotta break in the clutch. after that i will race him and post it in this section, probably with a video.

I suppose you're right. It's a matter of perspective and/or mood I guess.
