Default SRT8 Wagon = SLOW

Yesterday my dog got out and i was driving around the neighborhood looking for her. Pop's found her and i was on my way home. Well i see this SRT8 come up from behind me. He starts revving and bucking his car next to me telling me he wants a piece. I goose the throttle, to let him know i'm game. Well he speeds off, or so i thought. He waits at a green light for me to catch up. Light takes too long so we go from a 25mph roll, We are neck and neck till my rpm's reach 3500+ then i start pullin on him. Oh funny thing is i forgot to down shift i was still in third.
I shut down at the top of third, him and his friend give me huge grins and flip a bitch.

I was not at all impressed.

Yeah, I ran one a while ago... not the SRT8 model but the regular one with a hemi... he was a few buses back... I also started the hit in 3rd. Are you stock?

SRT8 300s and magnums are generally low 13s. The chargers are high 12s low 13s...


Nice kill. Glad you found your pup.

Exactly, certainly fast enough for any stock ls1. Those things are impressive for their size and certainly nice to have for a family toy.

What does "flip a bitch" mean?

It might have been a look-a-like. I've seen on run 13.3 at a sub-par track.
