Default Beat SRT 8 Challenger

So I have been hearing about this F-ing Silver Challenger for about 3 months know. Its so fast and the driver puts money on his races. He never gets beat. This coming from friends with truck and ricers around town.

So me and the wife are at a gas station getting gas. I hear a car getting on it. I look and to my surprize its the Challenger. So I tell the wife to get in, get in, get in.

I catch him at a stop light. I get behind him. The light turns green and he get on it hard. I roll out easy and follow.

We get to a great piece of road thats four lanes and I get beside him. (I see white car coming and I had 2 thoughts at that time but see its a kid in his mom's car) I put it in second at 60 and honk it of. He hits it a little early, so I jump on it. At 85 I shift to 3rd and pull a fender. By 130 I am almost a car in front.
I let off 130 or 135 the speed O chime went off.

I look to my side its the white car and the kid tells me nice job.

We get to the next town and hit a stoplight. I am behind him and see that his license plate says CHLNGIT. I get up next to him and say I challenged it and won. He gets real mad and says he won and I let off. I told him I was not racing until the cars shut off. Then he says he will put money on it. I just drive off.

The best thing about it. I did not even have the bottle armed.

My friend and a few of the ricers around all say he has full exhaust, tune and cold air intake, and its a 6 speed.

well your 10.77 should be close to a 12.77 converted IIRC so that doesn't sound far off...especially if you are the better driver

good kill

some of you guys should come hang out in fayetteville sometime

not to hijack, but its kinda related, i egged a charger RT into a race today, but he had 26's on it, lol, i launched the F250 in 4wd at 15psi and put 3 cars on him, i went up to 65 and he wasn't catching up. i will never understand why someone would bother getting a RT if your gonna kill any power it had by donkin it up.

THX. It only made 413hp/425tq. Not bad considering what's done. Kenne Bell is callin' my name, but the other half has other names when I mention the prices. Wish I was back in VA for sure.
