I haven't been driving my cobra to work lately. Mainly because the weather is cold and crappy. Anyway one evening while sitting in the break room me and some co-workers were just sitting around and shooting the bull, when a guy from another dept. walks in to go to the vending machine. My boss says "well there is the hot rodder." The night before this guy hauled ass out of work and practically ran three people off the road. The guy responed by saying "that's why a bought a hemi, I wanted something with some power, not some p.o.s. like a camaro or mustang." Well this got my attention. I asked the guy if his remark was meant for me. He said yes. I said you know what I drive. His response, "yeah its just slobra, they are just overpriced and overated." So I calmly say well I tell you what I will drive my slobra to work tomorrow night and we find out just how slow it is.
The next night I get to the parking lot before him and wait for a long time. Finally he comes out and I say well lets find out how slow my car is. He says well what do you have done to it. I was taken somewhat by surprise and so I pop the hood and explain what I have done. He responds by saying well it doesn't matter I have a hemi. He walks over and gets in his SRT-8 charger.
First race was from a roll. We took off and my ass end was all over the place but I was still pulling away. I hit third hook up and I was gone, by the time I was shifting into fourth he was a long way behind me.
Next race was from a stop light. He motions he wants to try again. The light turns green, I ride the clutch just enough to hook up, hit second and race was already pretty much won. I hit third and was like he was in reverse, I stay in hit fourth and was just a spec in my mirror.
I pull into a gas station and wait on him. He walks up and says, "well what did you think would happen your supercharged." To which I respond "Hey you were the one calling my car a slobra, not to mention I showed and told what I had done to my car and still wanted to race. Next time you feel like running your mouth, be careful who run it to." Pissed off he got in his car and sped off.
What a *******. I did think it would put up better fight though.
Now which one is overated. Maybe it just the area I live in but all SRT-4 and SRT-8 drivers respond the same way after a loss. Well at least 98% of them react that way.:sterb:
