Default ran a challenger

well i was on my way to see about getting an account with airgas for a mother bottle when i see a challenger turn onto the street i was on(i was at a red light) so i get the green and try to catch up but he took off too quick luckily he was turning at the next light and it was red. so i pulled behind him. the light turned green and as he turned he gossed it and took off i took the corner slow so i wouldnt spin my car and by the time i got onto the other road he was 6-7 cars out i get on the gas catch up and jump in the next lane and get maybe a car on him before i have to slow for traffic in my lane and he just kept going. i tried to get next to him but with traffic it wasnt possible. im guessing it was a stock r/t didnt have any badges but i dont think a v6 would last half as long as he did.

SRT8's have the black hood stripes and some R/T's have the side of the hood decals. SRT8's also have black trunk lip/spoilers. The hood should have said HEMI though.

Was probably an R/T. If you ever line them up even with an R/T, you'll destroy it. Stock R/T's aren't much, but they're still nice cars imo. I haven't ran into a heavily modded one yet. SRT-8's can be beasts, but again, most I've run into are stock and not modded. It's a nice lookin' car, but too heavy for my taste. Good run OP.
