Default challenger encounter

Theres a guy around here with a new r/t. I talked to him several weeks back at sunoco, but today i rolled up next to him at a light and had some fun.

He really wouldnt bite at first, then finally he just floored it, he just blew away from me around 40mph. What i liked most though was the sound, The thing sounded bad ass

heres a pic of what i was lookin at the whole time we were racing lol (crappy cell pic)

I would really love to have one and the r/t is a pretty sick deal. Makes like 420 ft/lbs of torque and you can get the 6 speed tremec for 10 grand less then the srt 8, its a decent deal. Wish i had 30k lying around

How dare you let us down by losing to a lowly 4000 lb Mopar!

I beat him in a burnout contest tho!!!!!! I lit them up big time, he just put it to the floor and went flying forwards, fairly lame on his part.

If it had the option of coming with LSD, I might consider one. It is quite a good looking car, just the motor setup is disappointing to me.

Yes they come in srt8 trim or r/t and SE.

Jake, im pretty sure you can get the 6 speed this year, I saw pics of one at a car show and it had a 6spd pistol grip. And im pretty sure you can get a LSD with the 6spd.

The interior is not the same as the 300, not even that close really. Nothing is exactly the same except for the steering wheel, and thats about it.
