Got my A$$ handed to me twice

I was at a local Wednesday night car cruise and on the way home my friend from the car crusie pulls up next to me in his dodge neon srt,. tore me a new ass from a fifty mph roll twice. I quess I should have put it in second gear because by the time my truck down shifted and started pulling, he jumped me a couple of lengths and still kept pulling.

His Neon runs a flat 12 in the qtr with slicks. He runs 30 lbs at the track and 25 on the street. That thing is fast. I quess I cant win them all. That was the first race I have lost and it was a Dodge Neon. I am depressed. I guess it is time to start tuning and turn the boost up.

Well race him under 50 or from a stop, he probably has to start at 50 to even get traction on the street, and that 12.0 is probably with a garbage 2.x 60' so even if you ran even at the track, anything from a roll will be an easy win for him

I have see a few SRT4 at the track and they all seem to have 120-130mph traps. With the mods I your signature, a 20g on a stock motor isn't going to cut it. Downshift to 2nd wasn't going to make a difference, you probably need a 10 sec syty to hang with him from a roll. Race him from a dig next time.

Why would you even do that? Do you think he would race you from a dig on a cobblestone road in the rain?

Pick your battles.All you did was give the King of the Ants an unnecessary ego boost. You would rape him on your turf. Belee dat.

You need a ls swap. I raced one from a dead stop and destroyed him. He was pissed so I said lets race from you mark. we were going around 30 mph and he blew his horn, I pulled on him again and still beat him. he was still pissed. But he said the truck is pretty impressive.
 
Re: Got my A$$ handed to me twice

His 60 ft times are in the 2.x,s and the next time will be from a dig. I'm gonna turn the boost up a little and see what happens. He is a friend of mine, and he will be at the cruise next week. Hopefully I will have different results.
