charger rt
driving home, i see a charger coming down the street as im waiting to make my left onto a main road. he passes and i get in line behind him. 2 young guys were in it so i figured what the hell maybe they feel like playing. we turn left onto the highway, a couple cars are ahead spread between the fast and slow lanes. i pace this guy at like 85mph. till he decides to jump on it. i let him get the jump just to make sure he was game, so once he goes for it we have to make our way around 1 car in the fast lane (which makes me get behind him) and some more ahead in the slow lane, he moves over into the left lane and the chase continues. he had probably 1/2 to 1 car on me when we got around traffic. i was pretty shocked because i pretty much could have passed him easily, i had to run a majority of this race letting up to partial throttle, there was no room to pass him because everytime i got ready to make my move, there was another car in the slow lane. so i was on him pretty tight hitting my flashers trying to let him know that he wasnt getting away. i think if we were able to do it side by side. i couldve put a few cars on him on our 90-125+ run. we got to a light and i passed him he didnt look over. he was probably suprised. 340hp 390tq vs. 240hp and 0tq.

Remember he has to sneak through traffic as well, and even though I don't know this car spec very well, I can guess that slalom is not the strong suite for this car.
I know the skidpad numbers are.

Seriously though, niice run with the RT. They don't have quite enough power to get that 4200 lbs moving.
The 425 horses in the SRT8 are a little different though. Those damn cars are putting down 12.9's in the quarter bone stock. I got to ride in my Dad's for the first time this weekend and was amazed. Now if I can just talk the wife into trading her SUV...
