Default SRT-4 Wanted to Race This Morning - Should I have Wanted To??

Leaving the house around 10am heading up a 4 lane road with moderate traffic. A SRT-4 pulls up behind pretty quickly. I can see a FMIC. He whips out to my left and guns it. The SRT-4 is popping and whistling all kind of strange sounds.

I downshift and pull even with him, and then we catch alot of traffic.

His car looked as if it had a lot of mods (so does my TT).

I am wondering if he would have kicked my butt. I don't know much about the SRT-4's other than for $5K you can make them a screamer.

He sure seemed anxious to race.

Default humiliated?

I was at the track a few weeks ago and someone I know was running 13.2 with his... As for mods, nothing serious, just a tune, more boost, stock turbo, minor stuff..

Default Stock vs stock, the SRT-4 is faster than a 225TT.

Mods are probably a hell of a lot cheaper too.

Default that bit about the special olympics...that was cold!

the folks who buy Neon SRT-4 choose to buy them...unlike the special olympic kids who didn't choose their fate but made the best of it by trying to compete to overcome their challenges.

Choose your comments wisely bro!
