zippy Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 More than likely he'd already ran into a nicely modified SSS and didn't see the need to pick on another that might be as modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Time Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Allright i was in my SSS today when i was workin after school... I looked about 100yards up and saw a silver srt 10 so i start wieving through traffic until i caught him. When i caught him i started jumpin forward to get his attention and he wouldn't respond. then we caught a red light and i talked to the guy and he said he didn't want to race b/c he didn't know what i had done to the engine (By the way my truck is completly stock) But he chickend out. Why would you buy a SRT 10 if you drive it like a grandma??? oo well i guess i beat him b/c he didn't try <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he figured if he never races anybody he will never lose, and then when someone asks him if it's fast, he can honestly say "I've never lost a race in it".

CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 oo well i guess i beat him b/c he didn't try So some guy driving home doesn't want to race a truck he should beat easily, and "YOU BEAT HIM BY DEFAULT"? Stop watching Pinks damnit! I've driven cars that are pretty quick over the years, trucks too.I never even looked twice when every idiot that pulled up to a light beside me revved his vehicle. I just didn't care to be honest. Nothing to prove? Take it to the race track, put some numbers up, and get some perspective...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
