So Im at a light and notice an SRT-4 behind me in another lane checking out my car. I take off normally and he comes up behind me so I get in the right lane behind an suv (suv was going perty fast) and let him get up to me at about 35. He downshifted and so I started to give him the three honks, well midway through second honk this joker floors it and has a half car or more head start by the time I hit it. I spun for about four seconds in second and was kept pace with him. In third I started to pull slightly with him about a car length ahead when I had to shut down due to the suv... Pulled up next to him to talk and he didnt even want to look at me, punk was just flat out arrogant and didnt want to chance "losing" to me in another go. This race just pissed me off to no end because I was sure Id hang and even pull in the higher gears, and now he probably went and told his rice buddies "I just owned a new camaro!" :rolleyes: :mad:
Anyway, new gears and longtubes up next on my list... along with better tires! :D

I don't consider the srt-4 to be a ricer. Those car are really fast when stock and not a push over they can hang with the LS1 being stock very well. I believe it runs in the 13's.

Odd, the SRT4 guy I raced couldnt count to three honks either, he left early everytime. So we swapped to 'ready, set, go' for his simple mind. Then he got rapped!
You'll get him next time, just be ready. Oh and he is RICE :D Attitude, cheating, 4 banger, yup...rice.

Yup. In my book Ricers can be piloting anything, even an F-body. They just are'nt smart enough to do research on cars, have a ****ty attitude, and Flock to turbo cars like they are God. Very rare you see them in something V8, let alone unique. Stock srt4s seem to like to park door to door with 6speed LT1s through the 1/4, from my experience a couple years ago.
