Default Dodge Ram tried to run me lol

no clue which it was. other than it wasnt a diesel. anyhow was at a light and the road after about 1/4 turns into a single lane. to make a short race an even Shorter story..

Light goes Green. We both launch. i baby it through first hit 2nd early... stupid auto. with about 1 car length ahead. by 70ish i had 3 lengths. and i just let off after that.

he waved as he turned off so i waved back.

but man i hate when i have to baby first gear because of traction and it shifts into 2nd gear to soon.


will be racing a neon with a "racing engine" next friday..... i have no details other than the guy said its a normal Neon. and this guy doesn't know much about cars at all. so he either got ripped off by someone or is just ignorant.
said the engine cost 10k...

i will have a video for that one. when it goes down.

I severely dislike all the Dodge Ram drivers around here....they act like they own the ******* road because they think have a Hemi.

i mean it was a "hemi Dodge" most likely a 2007 model but its just funny especially because the guy had the generic loud truck exhaust. but i dont think they understand the concept of weight to power.

Those trucks always are trying to race me too. LOL! half the time you don't even know they're trying to race you because the things are so f'n loud even when the pedal is half way down. I always speed up to get away from them so I can have some peace and quiet.

HAHA>.cool.

Yeah...I just had too. With all the talk about ford having to put on a charger to make them fast that goes on around here. I took your name off because I didn't mean it as a dig on you...just found it a tad ironic given the site we are on.

the dodge guys here in AZ try **** all the time. now my old truck was a f-150 4.6<--slowest thing ive driven lol why i got rid of it. but i had a couple of things done and the main 2 sound aspects were the loud bullet muffler exhaust and a throttle body spacer that whisteled like a turbo lol. all the dodge guys that heard it would try and race me but id just look over and smirk then tell em they aint got a chance in hell(knowing they would rape me), sure pissed em off and they would burn off the light lol.
