Angry Charger on my behind

okay, so i'm cruising on my ap2 at night when I see high beams creep up and sure enough it was a charger trying to race. Advice on what to do against V8 engines, felt a little helpless since my baby only pushes 240 rhp right now. Might be time for a turbo.

Ignore it and enjoy your 240hp in the twisties.

Nothing, police use chargers. Trying to race one might end poorly.

You did the right thing man. I was in a similar situation with a C6 Z06. It was behind me at a stop light and we were heading onto a road where the troopers are known for patrolling. He blew by me at around 70. I just wished Smokey was hanging around but it's just a matter of time with asshats like him.

I smoked a black charger from 60mph roll. It wasn't even close. All I had was a HKS 75mm single exhaust w/ 70mm test pipe and I was top down...and YES it was V8 one...

Better be careful. You and I had similar experiences, but, according to certain people on this board, we were dreaming and they weren't trying . Good job btw.

It just goes against logic. They are faster period, they have more power run faster 1/4 mile stock. If you beat one he didn't know how to drive or was not trying hard. This is with an srt8 of course. An RT will be a better race for both.

lol yeah right
i love my S but you can't take a V8
Why bother trying to engage in a race you'll lose? You can run laps all day around v8s on a track but on the street any v8 including 2v 4.6Ls will eat the S
