Default First loss in the T/A

I was cruising around with the t-tops off with the girl and this new jeep srt pulled up to me. Thinking nothing off it he revs at me, I think well it looks nice but how fast could it be. Well that thing sure does have some *****. From a stop, I spun the tires for a little but he was ahead of me by then. I lost going up to 80 mph then we had to let off. We chatted a little nice guy, he said it has 500 hp stock, is that true? Anyone run into one of these? Thanks for listening

PS - my car is a stock 6 speed ws6

425hp stock. They run mid-high 13s usually. I've heard of a few low 13s, but that ain't common.

It's possible... but it's kinda like an LS1 F-body. It happens, but you can't bank on it.

Plus it didn't help you had the t-tops off. That's a lot of wind resistance. Good death nonetheless.

Damn it would blow my mind to be beat by a jeep. Good death though it sounds mean. Pretty soon every other family sedan will have 400+ hp stock.

**** I wish I had my setup 15 years ago...

One of those Jeeps came up to me revving his **** once at a light. He then took off when the light turned green so I punched it too. I had to get on it pretty good to put a few cars on him(No bottle). I was very impressed and gave him a thumbs up.
Good Death.

Those things are bad! I've seen a couple of em running around by me, but usually driven by people who you can take one look at, and KNOW they never get it over 3k RPMs. Those are easily my favorite of the SRT vehicles though.
