Default srt4 kill

well on my way home from the movie RV a silver skittle pulled up beside me and just wouldnt leave me alone so i downshifted from 4th to 2nd (was going about 40) and just took off and he didnt try to catch up.... anyway we get up to a light and it tuned green before we got there so we are beside each other and we just keep going i left it in second this time and he honks 3 times at about 45-50 so its his powerband for boost at least i thought it was correct me if im wrong, and as soon as we started rolling i started pullin on him got to top of second about a car out front, shift to 3rd and had to let off at the top of that was prolly a good 3 cars out on him and had to get out of it cause a pretty good turn was coming.... best part was he had the shoe polish stuff the track uses so he had been out at the track and prolly thought he was fast... good run though first ricer i have got to kill in a while actually its the first one that has tried to mess with me since i got the new engine

with the mods you have it seems evident that you've raced near-stock skittles. come to indiana, i can find 3 within a 20 mile radius that would have no problem waxing that car in the 1/4 mile.

i hate blanket statements.

careful with those things. I kept even with a stage 2 all through 4th gear and i didnt pull on him until the top of it... it was a county sherrif driving it, so it could have just been he knew how to drive. I also raced on that the guy said had an aftermarket turbo, exhaust, and running 26psi. There were 3 people in his car, and just me in mine. He had 3 or 4 carlegnths on me at 100 from a 40 roll.
