So, I got behind him at the next light and he took off when it turned green I followed behind and when I had room, I changed lanes and just flew pass him... he slowed down after that.


I wish that worked for me. I always get the complete nutjobs that take offense that you would dare pass them. Yesterday some douche in a Navigator got mad that I passed him and was tailgating me at 85. I got over and he slowed down and didn't pass, so I got back in front of him because we caught up to slower traffic quick. He gets mad and tries to pass me on the shoulder. I don't understand these people. They only want to go faster than you while you're in front of them but then when you get out of the way they won't go.

Aren't you pretty much fully bolted? A stage 1 is just an ECU upgrade which raises the boost a little. You should be able to beat a stage 1 SRT4 Neon or Caliber. I know my MS3 is a whole lot faster than my stage 1 SRT with full exhaust was.

Just ran my friend's 2011 STi sedan. He has an Accessport with Stage 1 OTS map but is otherwise stock. We went twice from 40. First race was to about 95 and it was pretty close until 80 and then I started to pull away steadily. 2nd race was only from 40-80 and he was still at my rear bumper when we shut down. I was surprised how well he kept up with me. He's going to be getting full exhaust, intake, and protune next month so I might have to get some more mods to make sure I can still beat him, lol.

I forgot to update this but I destroyed a new Challenger SRT-8 Hemi last week. I was shocked, I thought he would at least give me a run for my money but it wasn't even close.

It was from a 40mph roll. He looked over and me and gunned it (had aftermarket exhaust that sounded pretty good actually), I dropped into 2nd gear and got on it but he was already half a car in front. By the end of 2nd gear (just over 60mph) we were bumper to bumper, I grabbed 3rd and simply just walked away from him, and I know he was still "racing me" because his exhaust was loud as shit. Top of 3rd gear, around 90mph or so, I shut it down and I had about 2 1/2 cars on him.

I really couldn't believe it. At the next stop light he looked over at me and asked if I was v-8 swapped haha. And this is with a blown oil seal in my secondary turbo and running stupid rich/breaking up ignition at high rpm in boost. I know those Challengers are boats but I would expect with what, 425bhp on tap it would have at least been entertaining? Maybe it was those 20" wheels he had slowing him down haha.

That's awesome Dave! lol I like those but it seems the key to having a fast car is not only a strong engine but making it light as well. So much for strapping thrust to a brick lol.

Pulled the 8 out for a Easter drive to work on the restaurant and drove my brother home to get another car because he blew the engine racing a Cobra mustang last night. On that ride to his house I happened across an srt8 Jeep. We didn't really have a race race but we both got on it separate times. I cant's say who'd win but he probably thinks he would. I didn't want to get on it for long till after we passed Belmar since a police station is right there but he turned off before the hill heading South on Wads. Would have been a good pull to. No one in the way and no oncoming traffic.

There was one running at Pueblo when I went a couple weeks ago. He ran 13.77.
