Well I'm making a left turn down Valley View over by my house I kinda give it some gas around the turn spinning my tires a bit, just for fun. When I look in my review mirror and I see a nice looking luxury car do the same thing and come right up on my ass. I quickly throw it into second and floor it and pull inches but he is still there. Were coming to the next light and the guy is looking at me, but I still didn't know what kind of car it was. Well the light turns green and I hit it so does he. FWD I just spinn out like a retard and pulls hard I mean kills me horrible, as he passed me though I saw what it was. 300c SRT-8. I was like oh :eek: Well he pulls instantly like 8 cars. I catch up and slow down to 20mph as we are coming to a light that was about to turn green for us. I said perfect I don't have to go from a stop taking his RWD advantage away from him. We are even when the light turns green and I floor it from second about 4000 rpm's. I stayed close to him through second with him pulling a little bit but the middle and top of third he just pulls me crazy!! 3 or four cars in a matter of seconds, I was damn. I pull up to him at the next light and said, "it's a SRT-8 huh!" He said ya 425 hp. I said ya it's fast. He said "well what do you have in there? I was a little suprised you kept up at all." I said "pretty much close to stock it comes with a small turbo". He was a cool older guy and said he hated his traction control. I asked if he could turn it off he said no. That sucks. While we are talking only going 15 mph he punches it again as do I and get a little tire spin but he just pulled away. Those things are fast! I like to see a older guy with a powerful car actully use it! At least he got a little suprised from a 9 year old DSM convertible. :D
 
All he has in free mods and exhaust ( if I remember correctly ). GST Spyder
 
After i fixed my talon i went driving around and i ran into the same situation. This guy was driving veryquick behind me and pulled beside me, so i floor it and so does he. He pulls on me good but we had to stop at a light with some car in one of the lanes. so he stops and lets me go in front of him. Pretty cocky im thinking. The light turns green and i take off but i never droped the cluch (awd man do i regret that) and as soon as we pass the car he pulls in the other lane and takes me by like 2-3 car lengths by 100km's/h.

So i pull up to him at the next light and its some middle aged guy with his wife in the car. I ask him what that cars got. He says its stock. I say how much horse? Oh its just a v8 not supercharged or anything. I ask how much horse again. 425. :eek:and as he drove off i saw the srt-8 on the back.

Man if i only known, I would have launched on him and really givin him a run for his money. All i got is a 2.5" dp back. The guy was pretty cool though.

what are your mods? I beat the snot out of an srt-8 with just hardpipe and a MAF-t, MBC@18psi. It was an old dude too. respectable death though.
Well if that ain't some bullshit right there... you're not "beating the snot out" of any 300c SRT-8. Shit you would have enough trouble just hanging with the 340hp model with those mods.

Actaully, I was also in the car when he beat the SRT-8 and it was a nice kill. Don't be jealous :cool:
 
Newsflash, pulling a ricer-flyby on a car that isn't racing you doesn't mean you stomped it. You guys might feel special making up stories to impress some n00bs on an internet forum, but anyone with half a clue on cars knows that a DSM with those two mods isn't going to come close to touching a 350+rwhp car that runs the 1/4 in low 13's/high 12's at 110, much less beating it easily. Give me a fucking break.

No kidding, and boosting at 18psi with no support...nice :rolleyes:
 
you idiot! He initiated the race. and i stomped him off the line all the way to 160 when i shut down.

I didn't include all my mods, but there weren't too many.

2g pistons, MAFT, hardpipe, greddy S, Big 16g, 3" turbo back, BS removed. ACT2900

And I raped that guy by 2 buses, so go pound your dick.

p.s. this was in my 1gawd. last summer.
 
my fault for not listing every mod. I'm used to telling people there is lees in it than there is. yes I am sure he was racing. he initiated it. I thought it was just some 300c, so i didn't bite right away. but his licence plate read 2005srt8. so we caught a light. he filled up his torque coverter and I revved up.

my kill story is in here somewhere.
shit..I had a walbro 255 too. 450 injectors tho.
 
Three years ago I raced a ZR1 Corvette(~450HP car) from a dig to 1000ft.
It was a 1G 5spd car(full weight) I had at the time:
B16G, ported 95 manifold, 255, SX AFPR, 550s, SAFC, ported head, Findanza flywheel, ACT 2900 and a full 2.5 exhaust, running 20 psi.

I got the Vette 4 cars out of the hole due to his excessive wheelspin, but by the end of the race I had less than a car.
I don't see it beating a near equivelant car equipped with traction control.
 
shekky.... what are you gonna tell us next
that you forgot to mention you are running slicks and 150 shot of nawz?
lol you said you beat one with a hard pipe and MBC.... then you added more... and more... but hey if you say you beat an srt8 then nice kill i suppose

and this is a serious question. i didnt know in ontario you could have 8 spaces on your license plate?
2005srt8 wouldnt fit in the USA
or am i completely wrong :eek:

If you still had the factory side mount I can gaurantee it was heatsoaked before a 100MPH and you would still be able to hold off a 400+ HP RWD car to 160MPH :rolleyes:

you idiot!
BTW I just recently seen an SRT8 a few months ago... I was still reading about their release in Hot Rod last summer :confused:
