ms vs srt-4

welp, i'm on an interstate entrance ramp (longish, downhill, almost arrow straight) with a yellow srt-4 in front of me. i pull up kinda close behind it to get the driver's attention and to goad them into giving it some throttle. we are both doing around 50 when it was safe to merge- the neon driver goes for it, as do i. the short of it is that i had to let off twice to keep from plowing into the back of the srt4. the difference in acceleration wasn't subtle.

i'm guessing the neon was stock. their virgina license plate reads "SRT 4ME". anyone reading know this person?

well, after reading all of the smack talk on the srt forum, i figured that teh neon might hand me my ***.

actually, i'm making it a point to instigate a race with every 350z and srt-4 that i come across. with all of the **** they talk on their forums, i get immense pleasure laying the smack down.

Same here, especially the 350Z/G35Coupe crowd. Very cocky drivers. At least the SRT-4 coming turbocharged has some real potential to get faster, the 350Z is maxed out from the factory and will take some decent change to really get moving.

Nice kill.

i'm pretty sure fi cars suffer at high altitudes, but nowhere near the extent that na cars do. good try on the neon, though.
