The Eclipse was a joke.....mmmmm, the Charger, handed you ***...sorry. He was gaining on you and you ended up the video. A real race is, IMO: start from a dig, and go all the way until both cars reach top end...and see who comes first. All that **** of " from a dig"..."from a roll"....BULLSHIT to me..... If you would have continued until both cars reached top end you would have not posted anything.....bud.

you make it sound like you were there, look like to me it was stop light to stop light. atleast he posted both the win and the loss.

I always say - start your race vs. an SRT-8 from a roll at 70mph. It's the bottom of 3rd gear and sluggish. Nice ride and kills!

You mean not a quarter mile? You know most races on the street are from a roll? Did you know that is the quickest (and safest) way to see who has a quicker car because it doesn't take an 1/8th of a mile to catch up from a crappy launch?

So a quicker quarter mile car can lose because of your "top end" race it may shift into an OD gear first?

I guess if we raced your way, 1/2 of us would be dead and the other 1/2 in jail. What's your excuse?

I dont have to give any excuse to you, buddy. Thats my opinion.

Agree with the 1/4 mile since its the way that most resembles my view of what a race is. Running in the streets from stoplights is retarded. BTW any street racing is retarded. All this from a roll or a dig is still BS.....

Skittles are little MOPAR muscle cars....I love them!! But still prefer my V8s! LOL! The thought of family cars (4 doors) and station wagons, SUVs being actually faster than SOME stock f-bodies (sometimes mildly modded ones) is hard for some guys to accept. Thats when the "heavy', "dogs", "rich ******" arguments shine!! Please...fast is fast...stop street racing...vote for Hillary....LOL!!!!! (bitch...)

Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the ****** bed. I am sorry I didn't want to go 150mph in downtown Kansas City. And I would have posted up if he destroyed me by a mile. Its all in fun man. I was just posting up some fun races I had, whether I lost or won. My car is basically stock and I know I am not going to destroy everything on the street. When I don't, I am like wow that car was cool, I hope I can get something like that one day...... bud

Why the hell is everyone coming in here acting like total ********. To the guys that are being cool, thanks.

post up your opinion on **** whether its negative or positive... but be cool about it.

I still reset it weekly even with the Diablo.

The numbers don't add up.

From my experiences at the track, I've seen a few SRT8's and the best I ever saw was a 13.1 (don't remember the trap) from Charger, he said he intake and full exhaust. He was on street tires though.

I guess anything can happen on the street. But they must move out pretty good if they perform like people who own them say.

You obviously don't belong here, at all.

I guess those 11sec, 200mph-capable AMG cars would always "lose" too since they are usually limited to 155mph.

I suppose the Texas Mile is about 3 miles too short?

Well I usually see them trap 108-110 in stock or CAI/Tune form, but everything is speculation these days with street racing. Here is the fastest CAI/Tune run that I know of.

12.48 @113 but he did his own timing tables. So about 110-112 with cai/tune is enough to outrun my SS. It gets worse though the faster we go. Fun cars.
