Cool Challenger SRT-8

Okk... A few weeks ago I beat a challenger, I guess we were mostly going up hill so weren't going much over 100mph.
I called up a friend when I got home and said it looked kinda like a camaro but it said dodge, so he told me it was a challenger then I did some research online also.
It had xenons and decorated hood etc.. yes from the back it looked like a camaro, it got in front of me once or twice but I'd downshift to 3rd and again took it by a couple car lengths...
Then I ran a red light in thick fog which was kinda bad... but yea I beat it.

NOT COOL. I'm all for whoopin' up on the next guy that thinks he has a fast car but you gotta use your head when you're doing it. Doing it in foggy weather is already bad enough because there is so much you can't see ahead of you whether it be a car on the side of the road with a flat tire, road debris or in your case, a red light, until it is too late. When you're doing something like this, you have to take into consideration you are putting others lives at risk and try to minimize the exposure. What if someone in a minivan with their kids was going through that light? Gotta think about that. I see you're new to the forum so I don't want to be too hard on you and scare you away but I want you to be cognizant of your surroundings.

[End rant]

that is awesome dude! it would be even awesomer if it was in a school zone with children present so they could cheer you on and you could weave in between them like a slalom!

Note, I do not endorse mowing kids over in the name of performance testing automobiles.

Just to throw a disclaimer out there before TruRaja runs out and tries a kindergarten slalom course. I was being sarcastic and do not recommend that you race on public roads, run stop lights in foggy or even nice weather or speed in school zones. I would hate to turn on CNN tonight and see him on the news in handcuffs with his crossfire crashed into the side of a school building yelling "mrphotoman told me to do it!".
