Default me vs. gt, srt-4, evo

it's been a good week.
i was on my way home from work and i see a new gt comming up behind me (saw the fog lights). so i slow down to let him catch up and begin to pace him. i notice this is a guy ive seen on the road before. he has crome 20"s on his gt. well i play around a little and he finally bites. it was a 60 roll, i drop into third and get behind him due to the only other car on the road being in my lane. well lets just say i started in 3rd and i never got out of 3rd before i had to shut down. if i didn't i would of bought him a new bumper. he turned off shortly after that. i was impressed with how well i pulled on him. i guess either he didn't know how to drive or the 20"s really slowed him down

just a little further down the road i ran into a srt-4. well i picked on the wrong one. it was a 40 roll in second and it got ugly really quick. i makes me sick how quick those things can get with just a couple grand in them.

tonight i ran into an evo , i was excited since ive never ran one before. it was a 60 roll in 3rd. i pulled just a little at first then he pulled half a car on me. once he shifted i still had about 2,000 rpms left so i would pull back half a car. then we went from a 40 roll in second. he pulled harder in second but i started comming back some in third. mainly when he shifted. due to traffic we shut down at 80. too me it seems like the evo pulls pretty hard in the low gears but i think if i could of got into 4th and taken it past 100 the s would come out in front. guess i just have to find one on the interstate

ENJOY THE ROAD!!!

And they get no respect here in Street Encounters Daycare. I don't understand why so many S2000 owners bash on the SRT. Why is that ? Go over to iwsti.com and most STi owners give the SRT due respect for it's capabilities. Nice to see a good honest post without the usual fanboy rhetoric when an SRT-4 is involved.

learn to take an opinion. people can bash or make fun of any car they want. that's their opinion. they have a right to say they don't like a certain car.
