…and kicked its ass. Badly. The story goes as such. He pulls up next to me, black on black, mean sounding as hell. The turbo was louder than anything. Wanted to run to the next light so I obliged and blew his doors off, 2 cars from the launch, ending with about 4 car length win. When he went by I gave him a wave and he kept going. The old dude in the blazer behind me went by, honked, and gave me a big thumbs up. Let 2008 begin! ;D Oh and no im holier than shit “you shouldnt be street racing bro” :nono I know that already. But I did it. And I won. And thats it. ---

SRT4’s aren’t fast unless modified, out of the box they are high-13 to low 14 second cars, though with simple mods they become quite fast, in particular for the price. ---

When I say modified I mean any modification that is not stock, including the dealer installed “stage X” upgrades. I have to give dodge credit it was a brilliant idea to sell upgrades to a car like that and have the ability to roll the payments into the car loan. Most dealer installed parts are hugely expensive and typically not desirable to serious auto enthusiasts, Dodge did well with the products, marketing and implementation… shame it was all for a neon. ---

always fun to put someone in their place!1 I had a young couple in a newer porsche carrera turbo mess with me a few days ago. I actually went past my girlfriends exit to race him. We went from a 70 toll to about 140 where we ran into traffic…and we were dead fucking even…I mean, my front bumper and his front bumper couldnt get anymore parallel. Kid was cool as hell, Looked at me after and gave me a big nod and smile…I smiled back cause I wanted his girlfriend.
