its all in the driver, esp in a stick car

ive taken a wrx off a roll in my 4.6 reg cab before, and that isnt logical either

 

Again it comes down to the length of the run and which vehicle tops out first.

 

The entire concept of an SRT-10 driver "playing" with him by losing a race by a few car lengths doesn't make ANY sense to me.

How would that be fun for the dodge driver? Especially since he didn't then have a re-match and win.

That idea sounds stupid to me...

GJ on the KILL

 

It's really simple, they live in the same town so could be setting him up for a nice tasty defeat the second time around (not everything a person does makes sense). I do this all the time with my '69 Tbird. 429 big block with 4 barrel carb, 365 HP and 462 ft. lbs. of torque. I'll get one of those ricers beside me at a light and I'll let him beat me to three or four lights, build up his confidence real nice. Then the fifth time I stomp it and crush him by half a block before he even gets rolling.

Makes the victory all the more sweet.

 

i think youd agree with what im saying but you are misunderstanding my point

its about 1) driver skill and 2) picking your fights wisely. of course my 5000 pound lifted truck on 35s isnt going to beat a WRX with headers off a launch, with his power to weight ratio and AWD. hittin it off a roll gives me a win, within certain conditions, up to a certain length and speed. winning smart doesnt mean youre not winning

 

Agree 100%

 

Or the dude just can't handle a clutch...

I know it's not PC but it's still funny

 

 

Dude that's just WRONG!! LOL! I love it.

 

Could be, anyways congrats on the kill.

 

i believe the lack of clutch skill was what cost him. like i said, i got all my gains off the launch up through 1st gear. and he was gaining on me for the 1st half of second gear. what confused me was that from around 55-70 mph we were dead even on the acceleration before he let off. and as far as toying with me, i highly doubt it lol. if i were to toy with someone, i would let them have it off the launch and then blow past em and with 5 million+ ppl here in atlanta, i doubt ill see him again...

but i guess its possible he was just scared to go ***** out...

but remember i ran a 15.3 on a 1100 ft. elevation track with warm and humid temps. i can definately see how a srt-10 who runs mid 13's in prefect conditions could run a 15.3 on that track with a crappy launch...

 

Regardless, the man ate a srt10's lunch. Props to you for serving up the dodge some fumes! No arguments here.

 

I agree that he most likely was afraid to take his SRT to the limit, probably more power then he can handle. Either way it's nice to hear that a Dodge was slaughtered and served.

 

I use to do that too when I use to street race all the time (before I got caught for the second time!), but it usually worked out that the second race would be for a few dollars. I hardly ever won a "free" race, but I swear I can't ever remember loosing a money race! Man I miss those days!!! I cant waite to get my Formula ready (I am planning on a streetable 383 with a 150 shot...that should break some Honda's hearts!!!!!!)
