Default Fun with SRT-10

i was leaving the mall with a passenger and top down. there's a decent amount of traffic and we all come to a light. i hear a loud exhaust note come from behind. it turns out to be an SRT-10 just itching to show everyone what he's got. as the traffic starts to move he passes by me on the bumper of the guy in front. we end up on a 2 lane road still with traffic and he's speeding up, slowing down etc. so i drop it to high 2nd and wait and he slows down to match me and we wait until the cars in front get a little bit ahead (we couldn't slow too much cuz cars were behind). he floors it first and i follow quickly, i didn't even get to shift before we hit the bumpers again but it seemed that he pulled slightly. we tried pulling on each other again but there wasn't room. we ended up at a light and he said "You're not gonna let a 6000lb truck show ya' up are ya'?" i replied "that truck's a monster, you'd kill me from this light." and he said "I wouldn't try it here, too many cops." i agreed and gave him the thumbs up and went our separate ways. should i have told him my engine was less than half his size?

Per my knowledge, that has a 8L+. So your engine is 4 times smaller. They are fast.

i ran one at freeway speeds when i was under 1000 miles on my car , we were dead even .( with top down and wife riding shotgun ).
And from a dig , unless conditions are great SRT10 will just sit and spin with all that torque . If you see him again go from a dig , ill bet you'll do just fine
