The Incident With The Charger

Recommended Posts

went to six flags last weekend with my wife with some of the money i got from selling my Rica ECU, and on the way home i'm going about 70mph on the freeway (normal if not slow highway speeds in california) when in the rearview appears a dark grey Dodge Charger R/T (one of the new ones). It was coming up kinda quick, so my first thought was that it must be an undercover officer. i dropped my speed down to 55ish and move over to let him pass when i notice the driver was a kid with a backwards hat and oakley sunglasses. the car immediately slows down to my speed by downshifting (auto?) which of course was extremely loud, but i figured i had my wife in the car and didn't want to risk it until...she asks "are you faster than that?" i replied "idk" ...so he steps on it and i follow suit until i am about 4 car lengths ahead...needless to say as he passed afterwards his window was rolled up and he was in a hurry. to summarize S70 T5 > Charger R/T

It's a tiptronic.

Very nice outcome...those cars are quicker from a dig...a good friend of mine has an SRT-8, which he recently supercharged. On only 7psi, he put down just shy of 500rwhp. Here's the dyno pull of his car:
