I really gotta look over the "prey" better!!

Yeah, yeah, I know, "they aren't race cars"........Been drag racing (mostly) at the local strips since back in 1977. Mostly with my street bikes, but with a wide variety of "cages" too. It's in my blood ! Can't stand those cocky female drivers with their big sun glasses,(usually) fake blonde hair,flicking their cigarettes out of the window ( every 5 seconds or so, weather it needs it or not), and the fact they drive more & more agressively (sp) every year.This is A LOT more commonplace in my area in the last 5 years or so and makes me
Anyway, on my way home from the shop early last night and up in front of me I saw a black Chrysler 300 driving quite fast. Figured I'd see what that was all about and show them what a 15 year old wagon can do with the right person at the wheel. Even though the driver wasn't a fake blonde this time, she had the whole "ooh, look at me" thing going on. We got lined up at the traffic light, I power braked it a little bit, and reacted better to the green than she did. Wish I'd noticed the little factory emblem on the trunk lid that read "SRT8" I got smoked worse than the Pontiac G8 GT I raced days ago! Made me feel like I was in my wife's 103 h.p. Hyundai Accent
I looked up info on this vehicle and .........
6.1 liter V8
425 h.p. and 420 ft lbs of torque
top speed 165
weight 4,178 lbs

Read some posts on a Chrysler 300 owner's site about their best 1/4 mile times. DAMN, they are quick!! 13.0 -13.5 and 105-108 m.p.h. STOCK! Not even a stock G8 GT is gonna beat that.

Beaten by a female in her late 30s to mid 40s (guessing)

How much to make my wagon a mid 13 second sleeper?

If only I'd had my low 10 second Honda CBR XX at the time.............

What he said

Times 2 Steve.Well if you going to lose to someone I guess an SRT8 is a little faster than our
wagons but not nearly as good looking.
Look at it this way,you may be new,beautiful and faster but I am kind of fast,good looking
and paid for!Take that lady and I can carry 4x8 sheets of plywood out back.No matter how
beautiful there is nothing attractive about smoking period!

Bolt ons and nitrous will get you into the 12's.

You also get to enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you aren't driving a Chrysler. Some of the older Mopars are cool, but I have had nothing but trouble with every Dodge/Chrysler product I have owned (they have all been 1984 and newer).
