Default Run in with slow locals. Mercedes..new durango and a turbo v6 5thgen

Last night I went out to test my car for driveability issues I had from my old driveshaft. Along drive I come across a couple cars that quickly learned this clapped out looking turdgen aint no carbd 305 with a loud exhaust. The guys in the durango tried to talk **** after till I tossed a flame at the lights.

Why do slow cars pick a fight..lose and then act like the race never even happened.

That video was an abortion, and you're in no place to call anything a slow car.

I was nowhere close going full boost while testing out the drive train. And if half pedal in second gear is already pulling on them. I see no need to push the car any further. If they aren't keeping up with that...they are slow period. Wasn't out to beat on the car just yet. I'll pick on hellcats again shortly.

Looks to me like that Dodge put busses on you before you did the ricer flyby.

Lol must be blind to see it was a 2nd gear pull and I hit the brakes for the parked car in front of me. Look at my rearview mirror..he wasn't pulling any distance on me.

Lol Im not saying the car itself isnt a pos..its a 3rdgen..thats what everyone epxects. Like I said..I wasnt out to run the hard too hard since it had a major driveline vibration just fixed and I was out making sure it was gone. Low boost without c16/meth and short half pedal pulls was all I was after last night. With the **** roads I was on I saw no need to push the car all out against the durango or anything thats was driving around while cruising the hwy. I dont claim it to be fast...but its not slow. Ive never had issues with the vettes ..stangs or hellkittys running around here. It does surprise everyone no doubt and Im looking forward to warmer Canadian weather to get some traction and run c16 and up the boost to 18psi.

Lol not quite ready to track it yet..but very soon. I just got done breaking this thing in and have to retune on c16 and a few more suspension mods. I got a few runs in today Ill be posting up shortly. Im getting more comfortable with it as I take it out and have fun.

You can track it and at least get some idea how it really runs. IMO that turbo is entirely too large. Mph at the track does give you Info.

You might find the lag from shifting with that big of a wheel hurts more than it helps. On3 is a cheap tuning turbo, but can't compete with smaller good brand billet ball bearing chra's.

I tried to track it last yr and ended up breaking the car in multiple ways.Popped the motor..blew the rearend and hurt the transmission.Im only now finally able to get back out and have things figured out.When i made my last pass and the motor fucked off it did 12.8 @121mph.

Now i have et streets,rebuilt rearend,fresh motor/turbo.Just need to rebuild the trans before I go get a time slip.i know i got low 11s or better if the car runs well and hooks up.
