Default SRT4 gets owned. hard.

We all have days when we sometimes bite off more than we can chew, whether it be a race with a car, or an argument we know we can't win. But sometimes, it's even funnier when you watch someone else putting their size 10 in their mouth. That would be the case tonight.

There isn't really anything I can say about the SRT4 that hasn't already been said. I'm sure many of you know I can't stand those f*cking pieces of sh*t. I think my reason for that is two-fold. First, it contributes to the 1/4 mile mentality this country has. Particularly because this car can be afforded by young, wet behind the ears, immature teenagers. And considering, compared to cars in its class, the car can't handle for crap on a road course or auto-x, it's real purpose is straightline speed. Cheap and easy. Kind of like a 2 dollar whore.

My second reason is the fact that just about everyone I've come across that owns one, seems to think it's God's gift to young, wet behind the ears, immature teenagers. These are the kids who have seen way too much fast and furious, never mind the fact that even TFNTF said the neon was too crappy to put in their movie.

Anyways, I'm getting off track, and I could probably write forever on the faults and crappyness of that car, but let's get onto the ownage.

While driving on the freeway, an SRT4 came flying up an on ramp, and cut into traffic like a dumb b*tch. Meanwhile I had a Honda Odyssey go flying past me pretty good in the left lane, only to get hung up by traffic. I know you're wondering WTF are you talking about, but you'll see where the worlds collide in a second.

The SRT4 makes his way to the middle lane, and then once again, pulls a b*tch move and cuts off the minivan. I move in behind the minivan, and they pick up speed to about 75mph. I'm sorta following them through traffic for a bit, and we get up to a highway split. Both cars go the same way I do. And that's when it happens.

With no traffic ahead, the minivan moves over to the right lane, next to the SRT4. The SRT4 downshifts, and starts doing that jerking thing where he taps the throttle. The kid then extends his arm and gives a nice big finger to the minivan, and he floors it. And so does the minivan. It's at that point, that the SRT4 gets skewered like a f*cking pig. Owned harder than Peyton Manning in every post-season he's ever played. The minivan BURIES the SRT4. It's the fastest flipping minivan I have ever seen personally in my life. This thing took off like an LS1 on speed, leaving the butt hurt SRT4 way in its wake.

Sometimes when you play with the bull, you get the horns.



Oh, and here's a fun little video everyone can enjoy as well. LT1 = 0. Minivan = 1.

Good story. If s2000s are superior in autox or road racing then why are they in the same ST grand am class (same class as v6 fbods).
