Default Charger RT Hemi vs. 06 S2000

Hemi badged RT wanted some VTEC action I guess. Cars were stock.

Some middle-aged dude wanted to tussle at a light this morning. Don't know what he was thinking but he floored it when it went green...and I said to myself, "Oh no you didn't!"

By the time I hit redline in 2nd I was just about a car on him and proceeded to leave him behind before making my turn off. Not bad for not getting the initial jump I suppose.

My first kill btw. I usually don't make a habit of racing at lights but I was in a pissed off mood and needed to burn some steam anyway.

when i was at a stock comptech w/ac i raced a co-worker in a RT...

we line up at the light, but i didnt know if he was really gonna go... so when he finally floors it i am already doing 5 miles an hour... as soon as i hit boost, my tires completely skid out because they were cold, i shift to 2nd, the whole car slides to the right with the shift and by 60 when he lets off i am still behind him by a car....

he still thinks his car ismuch faster and I never hear the end of it at work! I am glad you beat him... When my car is done i will have to do another run and completely kill him like i should have...

Charger RT's are turds. If he thinks he is faster than you then he is only lying to himself or lying to you to piss you off.

How about the SRT-8's? Are they any comparison to the RT's?

THE SRT 8 is a beats. Don't mess with one unless you are boosted.
