Drove the L today

It was an unusually nice day, so I got the L out. I pulled out on the highway and a little yellow car was coming up fast. I waited til the engine warmed up and by that time we were to the s curves. I was running 80 and this thing was hanging with me. I waited til I got to the straight away and nailed it. I pulled on him a little. At 105 I shut it down and he was right there again. I got out at the stop sign and got out to see what this thing was. It was a Dodge SRT-4. I have a stock '03 and did not realize these cars were this fast. Now I know. It was a fun afternoon.

Watch out for the stage 2 ones, I witnessed a guy running flat 13's and was about to dip into the 12's!

i had 400rwhp and my buddy has a stage 2 srt-4... anyways he would hang and if it was the highway he would pull a little bit. it was hard to tell when he downshifts though cause the car is so quiet.

Check out this link:

A Stage 2 SRT-4 went 12.85 @ 110mph, while there's an even more modded SRT-4 that went 12.1!
