Default Slo truck vs SRT8 Charger.

To set the scene, I decided id drive my truck tonite(Mods in sig). I havent driven it in a few weeks and i forgot how much fun it can be. Anyways i met a friend for dinner and upon leaving i noticed a guy getting into an SRT8 Charger. I followed him out of the lot and he took off. I gave some chase but we ran into traffic. Everytime traffic would clear he would just take off...vagina. He got caught behind some slow traffic i was in the other lane doin about 30. I dropped my truck in first and roasted the tires to let him know its not stock lol.
He ended up behind me a few lights down the road so i decided to launch my truck a little. Bad idea...it just went sideways. He got next to me but didnt really do much. We caught another light and when it turned green he just weaved around a few cars and took off again. I followed him around a car and when it was clear i nailed it. I stopped his pull...he was already out like 10 cars lol but then i just rode the rev limiter and gave up. I hate it when people refuse to line up and go at it....kinda a ricer move.

An SRT8 Charger has a significant advantage on you stock vs stock. Any idea what sort of numbers your truck puts down? A good running SRT8 Charger will run high 12s @ 110 MPH or so.

Too many "Kill" stories now about guys making ricer moves, never lining up and not racing...
