What's so challenging about a Challenger? Cross off yet another Dodge
Coming home I get off the interstate onto 290 and I notice some long rectangle headlights ahead. Looked like 67ish Shelby GT500. I get up closer and see its a Challenger (not the new new ones). Getting up closer I notice it's a V8. Well yet again at the same redlight we line up, but turning left...him in the inside lane. I pull up and notice the nice big 5 spoke stockers. It was orange with black RT stripes. Well not knowing if he wants to play or not the light turns green and I take the turn kinda fast, so does he. I rev out 2nd alittle and he keeps up. I shift to 3rd @ 3/4 throttle and give it alittle blip. He fell back about a car then I heard his car downshift and he roared up along side me. By the time I downshifted he had a carlength on me. I downshift back into 3rd and stop his pull, hit 4th and he hit the brakes at me at his bumper. Now I know it's on!!!!
We get a stretch of black highway ahead and I downshift into 3rd with him at my bumper. He gets along side me and I downshift into 2nd. We are at a 40 roll and he punches it and so do I. I start a steady pull and hit 3rd and put a carlength on him and he lets out. Had I hit 4th it would have been a steady bus length pulls. We BARELY missed a great redlight which is perfect for dig runs. Now that would have been hilarious! Oh well, chalk up another Dodge kill for the Mach 1!!!!!!

Yea, it's not as bad now...atleast I could take my anger out on some Dodge owner. Now he's home posting on Challengerforums probably asking how a white GT with a scoop and a stripe pulled him so hard.

Good kill! I had wanted to run an RT when my G8 was stock, but now I'd like to run into an SRT-8. I'm sure the new ones would put a hurting on me, but the 425 hp/6-speed version should be a good race.

I ran a red/black newer one once,the hemi vrrsion with the hood scoops, sounded like it ran 9s on motor. Didnt.30 punch on open hiway. Yawn. Wasnt even close. I was in my ss, it was also travelling with a 2 of the newer chargers, only the challenger stepped up and after the run. It stand down. I thought it was gonna give me a good run. Meh, I put a few busses on him.
