mikesedge Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Coming to work this morning, I had a guy in a newer Jeep SRT-8 4 wheel drive pull up hard next to me at the light. Both our vechicles are black, with chrome wheels, so maybe that is why he pulled up next to me. I could hear him reving the engine and doing the little hold the brake, give it gas, and it moves forward just a tad thing. So I reved back just to play with him. I knew there was no way I could keep up with him. I had one take me in my Pontiac G8GT off the line, which is a very fast car, and knew they were super quick. So the light turns green and he is frikin' gone. With the 4 wheel drive there was no tire smoke, just gone. I am accelerating at a nice easy pace. Next thing I see is a cop come out of the shopping center and pull him over. He was probably doing over 80 in a 45 mph zone. Gave a little wave as I passed them. My Edge may not be a fast as his SRT-8, but I got to my destination faster than him!! :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limited59 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hilarious. One take-away is that by revving and 'posturing' at least he thought you might be a worthy adversary. Or maybe he was just toying with you! Those things are seriously fast. The 2014 SRT is simply amazing. I doubt if I owned one that I would be keeping my license for long!

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Well, at least the SRT8 lives up to its' reputation! It's OK to accccceleraaaaaate, but gotta know when to quit it. Especially with those superfast cop cars in Florida. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesedge Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I was guilty of doing the same thing once in a while when I had my G8GT. But yeah, you need to know when you've won and let up. Luckily I never got a ticket, but I knew when to let up on the gas. It was classic though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
