Default GTO vs Cammed 6spd Challenger SRT-8

Once again MMOB driving I notice a Purple Challenger coming up on me pretty quickly. I thought nothing of it at first, I mean the car was "Plum Crazy Purple" whatever though. He pulls up next to me and revs, this car was LOUD. I kinda laughed like wtf is this guy thinking...

I obliged as I usually do in this situation and we slowed from highway speeds down to about 45. I noticed he was rev matching on his downshifts and was like ok sweet, a 6spd. I'm glad I can race one of these because I always destroy the autos by who knows how many buslengths from a roll.

I started in 2nd beeped 3 times and we hit it. Much to my surprise this car hung right with me at the hit. Going into third we both barked our tires, it was pretty neat seeing that car actually ripping gears, and not having the owner simply reading a book while the car shifted itself. However the fun (for him atleast) was short-lived. As 3rd gear went by and I shifted to 4th I had put about a half car on him. Going through 4th I started to run away with it. By 135 where I shut down I had a solid 2-3 carlengths on him.

I slowed back down and gave him the thumbs up. The guy in the car gave one back, pretty cool since I normally only run into douche bags so it was refreshing to have a good clean race and thumbs up at the end. But it didn't end there. 20 minutes later we both got off the same exit and stopped at the same gas station.

Come to find out the car had every bolt on you could think of AND a cam tuned obviously. Once again (this is a rather common occurrence) the guy looking at my car was astonished by the lack of mods. I said to him as I've said many a time it only has headers and a tune, with a small amount of weight pulled out, and once again I was met with a "wtf" look on his face.

Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you don't believe it, my car has 2 pipes on the end of it, so I can have 2 of you at a time suck on them.

Nice kill, did he mention the power that 6.1 makes with a cam?

If he can drive I don't see how he couldn't beat you.

good kill...not sure of the gearing in those cars, but that might explain the gap on the topend side of the race. You car probably makes 375 to 385 at the wheels I guess?

Why do you get so defensive when people give thier opinions?
You post a kill, and even ended your post expecting to get flamed?

You won, good job...its a street race...ANYTHING can happen...

Because he's always getting flamed, everytime he post a kill against a car with more mods/horsepower then him. Some guys on here just havent got the fact that his car is just plain fast and he's that good of a driver.

Nice kill!

To be fair though..... GTO owners are the biggest douches around if you ask me. I've only met one cool one. Every other one is a complete monster douche.
