You guys didnt hear what happened? I was there.

They both lined up on an old abadoned road. The neon guy kicked his whiney G/F out of the passenger seat and said"your large ass will slow me down." They proceded to reach 45 mph as a starting point. Both side by side . First, Second and as the Neon was about to shift to third his seat bracket breaks and he falls backwards. Trying to catch himself, he grabbed the shitfter, which also snapped right off.

While this was all happening the guy in the S was just laughing and laughing.
Finaly the Neon guy regained his composure and was real pissed off. He said Fck it and downshited and gunned it. The S saw him do it and also followed his lead.
About a mile down the road the S looked back and didnt even see headlights.

Wondering what happened he turned around to find that the Neon guy was parked on the side of the road with oil undernieth the car. The S guy got out to see and realized that in the Neons hastiness to jump ahead he downshifted to 1 st while doing 60 mph and boom. The girlfriend comes running up screaming "that aint fare you cheated." As she reached the parked Neon she slips on the oil spill and falls on her ass with her mini skirt flying up in the air.
All of a sudden the few spectators and the S driver all start to throw up from the site of it.

Last I heard the Neon couldnt get the damage covered under warrenty and his G/F left him for his buddy who just got a Saturn Redline.

Why is that? Did they see something unpleasant? Perhaps something long or something too bushy?

Hey, while we wait for the result, maybe you SRT guys can answer something. Are those Mopar "stage I/II/III" upgrades covered by the factory warranty (at least on paper)?

This has been a heavily discussed and debated issue on srtforums. the concensus (and in my opinion, reality) has been that it depends on the dealer in question. Many have been known to say "mopar parts are covered under warranty." while others say this is only so if they install the parts. Then there is the other extreme, any upgrade, mopar included, automatically voids your warranty, or in my case as they said, just the powertrain warranty (I have no stage upgrades...yet). The fact of the matter is, as it states in the booklet, any aftermarket upgrade, mopar parts included, that is proven to have caused a problem you are trying to have fixed will not be covered under warranty if they can prove the upgrade physically caused the problem. This fine print is where people get all huffy puffy, and again, it comes back to the dealer. Cool ones will not try to dick you around and will grant warranty work where it is due and as it applies to this fine print. others have been known to look under the hood, see a mopar S1 kit or mopar BOV and just say sorry, no warranty for you, pay up for the rear tail light that went out. Its all over the board, so there really is no right answer for anyone until you speak with the dealer you plan to go to about what you are going to do to the car. Hope this helps, if not, I'm sure I just confused you more, but at least then you'll have the same view on warranty issues that most SRT owners have...

sorry for no updates, but unfortunately there really aren't any. I haven't seen or heard a word from this guy or his girlfriend. I'm guessing the guy is either getting something done to his car, and it's taking longer than expected, or he found out what i've done to mine. I don't know.

I have no means of contacting this person because my co-worker's girlfriend keeps telling me that they want to race, yet they never come in to let me know when or anything else. She won't give me their name or number either.

They just dropped off the face of the earth really. If i hear anything new from them again, I'll let you guys know.

Sorry?

I just don't understand how you can challenge a complete stranger, and i mean go see them at their job and talk badly about their car and challenge them to a race for "any amount of money they want to bet," and then just disappear. It's weird. I just don't get it?
