I was headed home on the 15S passing North County Fair when I noticed a bright red SRT-4 with it's HID's on (4pm, gloomy out). I was going with the flow of traffic staying between 75-80mph but I slowed down and put my hand out the window, signaling him to come up. . When he pulled up next to me, I downshifted to 3rd. I was trying to get an 80 roll but me and the passenger started talking so we slowed down to about 70mph. I think the passenger took me for a dumby, he told me; "your car's too fast!" with a big smile. He knew what was up and so did I so I yelled back sarcastically, "Yeah, I know!". After that we lined up at 70 (DOH) and I honked it off. We stayed even till about 80mph and then he started to pull. I shut down at ~95mph because a car jumped in front of me. He probably pulled 2-3 car lengths.

CLIFFS!
* 70-95 roll
* Stayed even till 80mph
* Let off at ~95mph with the SRT-4 about 2-3 car lengths ahead of me.

 

Cool.

 

Those SRT-4's can be built to be pretty quick, but it would still be just a "runny turd".

Regardless of the outcome, the TL is the real winner.

 

Sarcasm? Either way thanks. haha.

Yeah, it sure pull on me pretty solid BUT at the end of the day, it's not as nice most other cars on the road.

Thanks dude.

 

You really like to race, I saw some thread from you. The TL is not really fast but it's fun isn't it .

 

Nice death.

 

yea...not gonna pic that battle... just nod and let pass (hate it too, but they are quicker)

 

Yeah, I post a lot in this section haha. The TL's not super fast, but it's definitely "capable" of surprising more than a few cars on the highway.



Hell it was a good one...until his turbo hit.

 

haha nice nice, those cars are highway monsters, light and FWD pulls like a beast. Respect for trying though, not to mention if you're bone stock then it wasn't to bad.

 

Nice run. Those SRT-4's are no joke. I don't even attemt to race them here in tucson. The elevation kills the N/A motors performance and the turbo motors aren't affected as much.

 

try it up here, its even worse. i bought my car down where you are and could feel the difference as soon as i got in the state more or less.

 

i know what you mean. I have been to flagstaff where its over 7000ft elevation and even here in tucson we get D/A of 6200+ft in the summer months. It feels like a different car haha.

 

Lol keep on keepin' on!
