He is playing cat and mouse with me in traffic. He keeps close to me and keeps showing off his cars impressive acceleration. Actually it was not shabby. He has already done the exhaust the tone was pretty loud.
So we end up side by side rolling at about 25-30 MPH holding up traffic. He asks if I have a twin turbo or single
I say single. He says those can be pretty fast. LOL. Then he says "Do you even know what this is??" Without a hesitation I tell him yes a SRT-4. I guess I was supposed to be scared.
I figure he we held up traffic enough. I ask if he wants a go at it. He says hell yeah!
I let him hit it first. I punch it and pull immediately. So I let off for a sec and go 1/2 throttle. He finally spools up and starts to pull on me so I floor it. I sort of half power shifted third, this is the first time I really nailed shifting to 3rd. I have not hit it this hard even at the track. It suprised the hell out of me because I didn't just chirp the wheels I broke them loose and fishtailed. I stayed in it and put an easy 10 cars between us. I had tons of room so I stayed in it up to about 105. Then shifted to 4th and feathered the throttle ever so slightly. I could hear the flames popping out of my pipe.
I slow back down he comes up with this amazed look on his face and screams you know that thing was shooting flames. I just smile shake my head and tell him I am turning. I turned off and went home.

Ha...those SRT-4 guys think they are hot ****...they are like..yea i'm boosting 15, 16,19, etc psi...and do they even know what that means? NO! The SRT4s boost high, but no instant...its a creep to their peak PSI...they have lots to learn in the ways of boost...
BTW...he didn't have exhaust work done, the SRT4s have loud exhaust factory...
