SO I thought I would post this quick story though it happened a few weeks just so you guys can get a laugh from it as well. So one sunday my buddy Greg and I are driving, just enjoying the day, and as I'm coming down the road I sees me a silver 911 turbo up ahead I kick it down and immediatly smile , Greg buckled up as I start to close the distance then the DAMN light turned yellow and the dude in front of me stopped like 1minute early. /sigh So, I just sit there watching this dude in the Porche speed away off into the distance. As soon as I could I went throught the light and chased after him hoping to find em. No luck.:furious: As I slow down to the next light I hear a very strange noise, kinda like a engine revving only smaller. I look around wondering WTF and I spy me a little Neon, not a SRT4, with the works. I mean primer grey half installed body kit. An aluminum, custom, homemade spoiler that is like the size of a plane wing. A like 14" fart can. and to top it all off the Chevy "Extreme" emblem from some other car. Greg and I were like wow. The driver was some young kid with his girl in the car, he was kinda driving all getto looking over at me like he was the man or some shit, I dunno. Anyway, I was like no way is this dude seriously revving up at me. No way in hell. Break-- Now we have all been there with some young punk in his little car either thinks he has some badass settup or just wants to see the SRT go right? Right? Well I could accept that if he had started laughing or joking around or something but no. This dude revved up and looked at me, probably wondering why me car had this strange lope and weird whistle sound like a loose belt or something, with a look like " WTF is THIS idiot thinking?? Don't he know I have the engine from hell in this mofo??" I dunno. I still refused to believe that when the light went green he would be dumb enough to honestly try it. He was. Greg laughed and I started out with him , shifting at about 2100rpms, he is going all out torturing that little thing, but he was "Extreme". Finally I laughed out loud and down shifted, waved good bye, and hammered it... well that was OBVIOUSLY all she wrote. Afterwards I was left with a chuckle and a question. Do you guys really think that there are people that honestly don't know what an SRT is? I mean guys that think they have a fast car. How don't they know to leave us alone yet? I am curious, Hope you guys had a good laugh. Dave
dave - these folks do indeed exist......sad but true......generally the flatbill wearing ball caps, tilted just so to the side, usually drapped with enough necklaces that mr. t would be envious, and always sporting the ever endearing "chinstrap" beard.........yes dave, they do exist....
dude...MOST people have no clue what SRT is...and whenever im in the autoparts store where my buddy works...as soon as they hear "SRT" they all think the SRT4...I dont think people know there are other SRT's besides the SRT4's lol... one guy even got into an ARGUMENT with me over what my car was...and it wasnt until brought him outside and showed him the SRT8 emblem did he realize he was stupid lol... so yeah...there are people who dont know... you dont even have an SRT...you have a freaking monster...so you dont even count hahaha
There are OTHER SRT's besides the SRT-4? Who knew............... j/k Wish I had the money for a charger srt-8 and the mods lol but it all goes to the father / son project "Red Raeven" lol
haha...i mean i know the SRT6's and 8's arent the most common...but they didnt even know about the Vipers and SRT10 Rams which i found to be a little odd... i just found it amusing they were arguing with me about my own damn car haha :argue:
Dave, I just caught this story today... too funny. You should see all the morons out here in socal! Every freakin' rice bucket that you see is trailer-park-pimped and ready to race. You should check my thread about the 2 younger guys in a Cobra that started fucking with me the other day... I respect the Cobras, but these morons had no clue about the SRT8.
Lol yea man I love those guys. Like I said most of those guys rev at me and laughm they know the deal they just wanna see her go, but when people have no Idea what fast is, like Ron, I get annoyed.
dahahahahahaha I may not know what fast is, but at least I do not have to make up stories to try and figure it out. lmao
lol nice!! some of these people kill me.Exreme or FEAR THIS all over there cars but you gotta becarefull about some cars!! back in my import days me an a couple friends had some either stock or beat looking cars but they were fast. my pos 91 crx was a no joke except in the looks dept. rattle can white car with a red bumper I swaped a B16 motor into it with a hundred shot low 12 s 11s on slicks. anyways we used to go out on purpose and mess with V8s we called it turtle hunting lol. SO becarefull! oh yeah we also used to throw a big gulp cup on the roof with a big ole industrial magnet it never flew off even in the top of 4th on the juice LOL good old days
Oh I know bro, My close friend, yes Ron I do have friends, has a 300zx TT. She looks beautiful so no sleeper mode there and the motor sounds like a angry smallblock but people usually think its just a good looking ricerocket with a fartcan. Until the turbos open up and she lays down 744rwhp WITHOUT the 150shot he ALSO has on her. It gets ugly.
nice check this one out my buddys vw its about to be in the 10s turboed 2 liter on a mega squirt standalone We call it the mullet serious up front party in the back lol
