Default Kill Story!!

After having O2 troubles after header install. I replaced the O2s and had a friend of mine retune my car last night. On the way home I pulled on side of a R/T Charger with the Hemi in it. The guy starts reving his motor and power braking his car. When the other light turned yellow and ours was about to turn green he stopped power braking and stalled his motor.. The light turned green and he nailed it. I dropped the hammer on the LS1 and pulled about 5 cars on him like it was nothing!! I merged onto the interstate and he followed. At about 65 mph he punched into it again on side me but to his surprise I was passing him up again!! Now my car is pretty much stock with a SLP lid, K&N filter, SLP 85mm MAF, TB bypass, 160 stat, Jet hot Hooker headers and y-pipe 3", Magnaflow exhaust, PTC 3500 stall converter, Custom tune, and MT ET street DR's. Do you guys think it was a fair race??

Probably should have pulled him worse unless he was modded, those are high 13s, low 14s stock. It's the SRT8's that have some bite.
