NA vrs SRT Fogetaboitit
So, last nite after a long day Crumpy and I are headed home. She in her SRT and me in the NA roadster.
She is stopped at the light to get on the highway as I pull alongside doing about twenty MPH. The light goes green. So I hit it.
Now we often play this game and she always wins but I have the jump this time. Maybe I can beat her to the end of the on ramp.
As I check my mirror,,,hot damm, I did catch her by surprise. I am halfway down the ramp and she is just getting up steam. A quick glance forward and then at the speedo. I'm approaching 80 MPH.
Her SC is screaming, a look in the mirror. Crumpy is now about 4 car lengths away and sucking up half the air in the county.
End of the ramp is coming up fast, I'm going over 90 MPH........... and she just whizzes past like I'm in my old pedal car.
RATS!
Foiled again. Sometimes I feel like Wiley Coyote chasing the Roadrunner
At least she has a cute butt.
Guys, I'm fairly modded and pushing 285 HP or better, She's around 400 HP. Even if you cheat, there just is no way to make an NA beat a SRT6 without Rudy's transplant.
What's that cost again?

Re: NA vrs SRT Fogetaboitit
I would hope so.
You had BETTER get there FAST, with no seat on the Triumph, couldn't go for long.
( seriously, is weight savings that important ? )
( This from an old AMA amatuer that used to run Triumphs on the 1/4 & 1/2 mile,and once at Daytona on a 500 )

Cute butt? Are we to assume you're complimenting Cathy or complimenting that excellent looking wing on the back of her car?
