Default Being irritated by an SRT-4

Well; we (Kristy and I) were on our way home and being irritated by two guys in an STR-4. The two ricers were holding up three fingers and saying stage 3. Anyway; ignoring them did not make them go away. So I'm in second around 5500 rpm's and he decides to go (I hear his turbo spooling up) I go as well. I pulled about a car and a half by the end of third before traffic held us up. This takes place two more times with the same outcome. We end up at a light with traffic in front of us and the two guys asked if I was SC or turbo. I said neither; they were amazed I was all motor and they did not bother us anymore.

It just annoyed me when they seemed to think their car was the fastest thing on the planet; but after the beat-down they went away.

i have observed stock srt-4s hitting 13.7-9ish in the 1/4 and trap at 100-102. i'd say thats a match for an s2000. i guess people just run into not-so-skilled drivers on the street.
