    Headed over a certain bridge here locally (in case this is on camera) today and ran into a breathed on SRT-10 Ram. Conditions were ideal, as in cars a 1/4 mile behind us and nothing in front of us for at least a 1/2 mile. We lined up at 60mph and ran up to 150mph. I pulled him good, but certain he wasn't stock as he hung on a little too good. Don't get me wrong, still 10 car lengths plus, but no way he should've been even that close. Fun run, nothing crazy, both vehicles super stable. Mine was eerily quiet and stable at 150mph. Haven't been there since VIR.

    I'd love to know what this guy had for mods if anyone knows him. Florida plates, red SRT-10, plenty of gauges on the A-pillar. Probably military but don't know for certain. He exited at Jefferson Hwy and I went to sit on I64 for 30 minutes in a traffic jam.

    Yeah, I'm not a street race guy by any means. Conditions have to be ideal. We had plenty of room to run and on a bridge nobody can pull out from a side street. It was easily the fastest I've ever had my SRT8 up to on anything but a race track.

    He was cool. We got next to one another after the tunnel and he asked if I had a supercharger. I nodded yes and then used my hand to show "5" "2" "5" to represent the rwhp. I never did find out what he had, but I'd love to know.
