I was out for some Christmas shopping a few nights ago at a local mall. As I completed my rounds and headed home, I entered the interstate highway only to get trapped behind a bus and boxed in by an eighteen wheeler on my left. It was a damp, dreary Pennsylvania winter night and the roads were covered with grit from an overzealous treatment by PennDOT a few nights earlier. I was becoming paranoid from the dirt being sprayed about by the vehicles surrounding me. The truck to my left seemed content to ride beside me: Maybe he found it amusing. When I saw a small opening develop in front of the big rig, I nailed the gas pedal and the SRT took off in a fury of acceleration that is unmatched by anything I have ever driven. I have owned Corvettes, Trans Ams, turbos - you name it: I have never experienced mid range power like this. As I watched the headlights behind me fade to pinpoints, I know why I love this car. I'm still smiling. TBW-black SRT6
