Post Whores Make Me Sick
I nearly forgot to tell you guys... We had a little shindig at my moms house last night and Tom (the guy up the street with the shop that I always use) came over with his new car...
08 or 09 (not sure) Challenger SRT8. Yessir, the freakin FAST one. He's had for a while now (along with one of the new Charger R/T's) but I hadn't seen it in person until last night. He pulled up around 9pm and I about jumped outta my seat. Told him "holy crap I haven't seen this thing yet! Will you take me for a ride?" He says "Go ahead and take it for a spin. Turn the A/C off when you juice it to really make her scream." Oh god...
Jump in and fire it up with the push button start, which is pretty damned neat. Put it in reverse and the dash lights up with a backup cam... Jeez this thing is dressed up like a goddamn SPACE SHIP. Get it out onto the main drag (2 lane road out in the country by my moms place). Get her out onto the street and threw the pedal down about half to 3/4 and that damned thing scared the CRAP outta me. I've never experienced speed like this. The 1st-2nd shift damn near snapped my neck. Got it up the road and did a u-turn and tried again, this time thinking I was more prepared for the speed. Nope. Stomped it and by the time I had a chance to say "holy s**t" out loud, I looked down and it was already at 65mph I couldn't freakin believe it; coulda snapped my fingers at 0mph and by the time the noise was done I'd be at 60mph I asked him when I got back and he said it's got a feature that tracks your fastest 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc. He said the car told him that his fastest one so far is ~4.5 seconds
It was a freakin awesome experience. If you can get your hands on one of these things HOLD ON TIGHT!!
