Default Lost to a s r t4. Time to mod

Alright I was cruising home and I saw a blacked out s r t 4 and immediately i catch up see if he wants to run. I just broke in my clutch and was waiting tp run something around here. This dude steps on it as soon as I get up next to him and I was in 2nd so I smash it and I prob had a fender on him. well he gets up next to me and he's pointing to follow him. We end up getting on the highway and I'm thinking he wants to yank my *** top end..LOL

We wait for traffic to pass now so I get on the left and I couldn't hear **** since my windows were up. I saw he dropped gears and I was at 60 in 2nd. He took the hit and immediately we were side by side but bythe time I shifted to 3rd he was already 1 1/2 cars ahead and still pulling. From his 3rd to 4th gear, he pulled away pretty easily. We ran twice with the same outcome and it wasn't pretty from my view.

We ended up pulling into a gas station and checked out each rides.He told me he upgraded his turbo to Borg Warner and is pushin 405fw and 430 torque. I might meet up with him in the morning since him and buddies are cruising to new braunfels to dyno again but on race gas. It was def fun but now I say fock the new rims and I'm going to buy my cam and get a full tune by end of month. I finally paid my car off yesterday.

btw.. I'm just full exhaust lt's, dumps, ls6 intake

heh and your gonna need some decent mods too. if he is in the 400 fwhp range your gonna need quite a bit moreor more to match him from a roll there pretty light cars. i know a lot of people diss those cars. but i always was fond of them and noone can deny they mod well and can become quick fairly easily. those cars were basically made to be modded. Dodge knew what they were doing at the time. and are retarded for dropping it for the caliber.. which i guess is part why chrylser is bankrupt

It's cool man I won't win em all but I'll be ordering my Torquer V.3 either monday or tuesday. I'll get a full tune at lethal by end of the month. It's time to wake this bitch up and start feeding my money into it.

I guess we're the only ones not at BIGS.....

and I am almost positive I've seen that SRT before. side note-there is a bolt-on tuned GT-R around the I-10 and 1604 area. ****** ran away from my Mustang on the highway

You will probably need more then a cam to beat him. H/C should make it even.

Valiant death. My best friend i race with jsut got one of these this past summer and from a roll him with front mount and exhaust and me with lt's an full exhaust he hung right with me till about 120. They can be fast lil cars for sure I drive it all the time and I can honestly say it's one of the most fun little cars I've ever driven. He jsut put in a cutout an downpipe an new wastegate and stuff so he thinks he'll have me, lil does he know i jsut had a cam specd by pat g and that will go in with my stall next weeknd Throw in ur cam and either heads or spray his *** and u should have him.
