Default AP1 vs V6 Challenger

Driving home from my girlfriend's house this morning, I noticed a black dodge challenger behind me driving a bit aggressively through some light traffic on my local expressway. We hit a red light, and now I'm behind him with 1 row of cars in front of him. As expected, once the light turns green he weaves out of the way to get in front of all of the cars. I follow suit, and we line up at about 20mph. Instinctively, we both gun it at the same time. I get ahead of him, and I start to pull on him slowly, him not being able to catch up. I'm doing about 90mph before I have to slow down to catch my left turn. Rack one more kill for the good guys.

Yeah, I know, not the most interesting kill, but a kill nonetheless. So here's a pic of my car with a model. Enjoy:

I pulled on a 2012 v8 challenger with top down. Not even a challenge.

the challenger is overweight, only real challenge to these cars would be the SRT8 or an RT with work like real work not simple bolt on shenanigans. if u loose to a stock RT theres only one problem the driver

SRT8 isn't much of an issue. You can keep pace behind it 1-2 car lengths from 80 to 145ish. I started in third at about 8k and he jumped 1-2 lengths and thats where he stayed. Just did it recently. Guy was pissed that my near stock 2L stayed with his 425bhp hemi, flipping me off as he slowed to exit and i passed. And now Anrosphynx can come tell me I'm lying because the SRT8 is a high 12s car... Forgetting how important the driver mod is...

:facepalm: You lost. Own up to it. The other driver let off the gas once you were in the rear view, just giving enough to keep you behind. But believe what you want.

Pretty sure I know what it sounds like when someone is charging through gears, shifting at 6500 rpm, especially since the POS had a loud exhaust system (not stock). And I said I was BEHIND HIM, i never said I passed him, did I? You weren't there, so speculate all you want. Challengers are a joke in any trim level and I wouldn't drive one if Dodge was giving them away. Face palm yourself, and don't forget to put your 80s leather jacket on and grease your hair next time you drive your "muscle car".
