Default My S.R.T-4 Vs. FireHawk

First off I would just like to say I wish I had that car...on to the story:

I was cruising around Woodward last night when a lowered white Firehawk came up beside me after I race a stock '03 Cobra. He said I did pretty well for staying with him. He asked if I had a turbo and I said yes...THEN he said..."I also have a turbo." <<My face at the time.

I was shocked/amazed/happy all at the same time. I told him if he would run me just in the bottom gears to see how hard that thing pulled. We both dropped down to 1st. I got a very quick car on him in 1st but when he hit second he started to blow by me until one of his pipes blew off. So, I followed him and he fixed it. We talked for a few and he said he is putting down around 550whp and trapping 128mph with a nitrous setup and 122mph with motor and turbo.

So, we both get back on the road and we went from second gear this time. He has a huge turbo so I started pulling on him but RIGHT when he spooled it felt like I put it in reverse and went back the other way. That thing just kept pulling.....AND PULLING!!! Firehawk

I had a great loss!

Yes. I will be cruising Woodward all day and night. My S.R.T is Black with very dark tints and it is very loud. Wave me down if you see me.

Wow nice death and even nicer story. You've got a great attitude man! Glad to see you're not a "my S R T 4 can beat anything on the road" guy.

OK, after I reread it like 3 times, I figured it out "after I raced a stock '03 Cobra"

Reading comprehension owns me. On the SAT I got like 13 and 15 wrong on the reading comp. part each time I took it, respectively. I had at most 3 wrong on the other verbal sections. 590 and 580 killed my final score :sad: haha... I still was able to understand his post though! I think some people just need glasses
