One of those little limey imports shot out in front of me from a side road on my way home today, and when I attempted to pass him, he changed lanes to block me. A red light was coming up so I decided to teach the little creep a lesson. He finally settled into the right lane and I pulled up even with him and we waited for the light to turn green. When it did, we both took off together, him spinning his tires, while my SRT-4 didn't and quickly wound out of first gear and into second. At that point, the race was all but over, with the rear of his car becoming visible in my rear view mirror. Another shift, and he had had enough. The timing was perfect, as we were coming up on traffic at around 75 mhp in a 35 mph zone...giggles and grins all the rest of the way home.....[sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley4.gif]

 

Nice kill man, he should know better than to mess with a car that has 60hp more than him, and not too much heavier. I do like the Cooper S's tho, not too quick,but pretty neat looking.

 

Oh, and how didn't your's spin, were you easy on the gas at first, or have a limited slip? Even with a LSD I would think it would spin.

 

Yeah the 04's have the LSD, and yes, I was kinda easy on the gas. I didn't do a high rev launch, just punched it once everything felt solid. The area is a favorite area for cops and the sound of two cars revving it up (especially when one has a Mopar/Borla exhaust) would have attracted unwanted attention. I need to get my butt out to a strip once it gets broken in.....[&:]

 

HaHaHaHa.

Mini-Cooper in it's place. I'll give em credit for trying though.

You should have hit the brakes, waited for them to catch-up, and passed them again for good measure and to leave a lasting impression of an SRT-4 rearend in their minds so next time maybe they'll know better.

Nice Fish-N-Chips kill.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

one of my dads buddies has a mini S with a great deal of work done to it, both simple stuff, and i belive some programming and engine work. last time we saw him, he said he had soemwhere along the lines of 250hp.

i dont liek them, and i dont think any man should have such a little car, but the little turds can be quick. cant mess with the bimmer boosted. i got my *** handed to me yesterday by an S, but im NA, and auto.

 

Normally I wouldn't have even messed with him (their 0-60 time is almost 2 seconds slower than the SRT-4 according to the factory website) but the little dweeb came across 6 lanes of traffic to make me hit my brakes, which I seldom do in my SRT-4. Blocking me from passing him was the kicker. But the funny thing was he chose the right hand land. The road is a gradual uphill sweeping left turn.....he chose the outside lane!!!!![:'(]

 

Heck, he knew it really wasn't going to matter which lane he was in.

 

I don't even think he knew what kind of car I had until I passed him...that's when he let off the gas and turned off...[&:]

 

Good job taking him to school.[sm=smiley20.gif] I love knockin' them off their high horses with my domestic muscle new and old.[sm=smiley4.gif] What exactly does this mean,"with the rear of his car becoming visible in my rear view"?[sm=smiley24.gif] I had to double over it to make sure what I was reading, because at first it was sounding like he was beating you with seeing the rear of his car.[sm=smiley5.gif]
