Default SRT4 Kill

This was a few weeks ago but since they are watching I'll post my kill.

I was in my SS heading out to one of the car GTG's with a buddy of mine Joe followong me in his 95Z. We get onto the highway and I notice some headlights come up fast and slows next to us dragging a gear like he wants some.
I couldn't resist so I got next to him and stayed in 4th at about 70mph, I could have gone to 3rd but I didn't think he would have much, I was right. I got next to him and he waves like "no thanks I don't want none" kind of motion. I just kept patting the gas, so he hits it and I pace him at half throttle to entertain him and then I mash it. I slammed it into 5th and about halfway through 5th I let out with him waaaaayyy back, it was like fighting a retard with a bag over his head. Hell Joe was behind him and he went around the SRT4.

I slowed down and he got next to me and was giving a very high thumbs up with a big grin, I returned the gesture he seemed really cool.


Moral of the story:

Size does matter!

427 > SRT4






Peace,
Craig.

The problem with that is that there aren't too many 427ci SRT4's running around these days.

Funny how you didn't post this after it happened, that just goes to show these SRT dorks that we really don't care much about "killing" lame neons. Not even enough to post about it when it happens hahaha.

I would say nice kill but lets face it, finding a worthy neon on the street is like trying to find a loving and faithful bride in a whorehouse. ....I dont post escort/neon/civic kills either, I have never found one I couldnt beat with the accell button on my cruise control....lol
