Default Charger fumbles for excuse.

Ran a charger tonight, 65-70ish mph roll, dropped to 4th with him about half a car ahead of me (so that he could punch it and we would be about even since my horn doenst work worth crap) nailed it, pulled about 3-4ish cars on him by 90-95ish and then he dropped back to about 8 cars (he let off i belive). All in all, about what I expected. Pulled up to a light and chatted, 345hp Hemi, 6-speed auto, stock. But..."he wasnt mashin on it" to which his wife quickly echoed the same... I am pretty dang sure he was mashin on it though, considering that I noticed him hang semi-decent up to about 90 and then DROP LIKE A ROCK. Anyways, the 350Z i ran SEEMED to fair a little better...(previous kill story)

Thats the lamest excuse, they act all in it until they lose, then the famous excuse comes out, like why would you run someone at 3/4 throttle, unless its some crapy ricer.

Idiot, Should have told him to give it everything he got cause he had no chance in hell. Only thing to fear is an SRT-8, if your stock.

Very nice kill. If he was really on it and you pulled 4 car lengths within 20 mph you have a pretty fast ride. Either that or he reacted a second late and could only slow your pull to 4 cars. Either way, nice kill.

I belive his reaction gave me .5-.75 cars on him. Also, like stated above, he DID have the car kinda loaded. I figure maybe a 3 car pull or so if everything went perfect for him next time.
