dirty ol POS vs new skool POS

Well, it's been awhile since I've had something to tell... hasn't it?

Mostly because I've been without a race worth vehicle, but not no more... with the Z28 back in action and the rearend warranteed for a year. I fear not abusing it. MuwahaHA.

Actually, I still drive it like a Granny... who has a heavy right foot on that rare occasion.


So, this week Mom.. aka the Boss is in Hawaii on vacation soaking up the warm tropical weather while I, run the business back in cold Southern California... Ok, so it's not cold here, just a bit cool. Low 60's about right now.

The one big job we had to do today was fubbared by the customer not having his shit together, and not being readily available to fix it. Thus, rescheduling... thus with nothing more to do. I told my co-worker to head home. And I did the same... at roughly 10am.

Fire up the Ellis Juan, windows down. Enjoying the cool weather, with the sunshining... not a cloud in the sky. Picture perfect weather for a cruise.

Get out onto the main street for the five and half mile jaunt home, come to a major light. Due to it being early in the day, and most folks already at work the streets were relatively quiet... and low and behold I pull up next to a 2005 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona...

How fun.

I have no real intention of messing around, but I pull up and look to my left and see a guy roughly my age, early 20s, at the wheel. The guy returns the look, I give him a friendly nod. He just turns away.

Light goes green, I roll out normally and short shift cruising away. He takes off normally, but goes a bit faster than I. No biggie, I'm in no rush to get home...

Come to yet another light. His window is down now as I roll up...

"Hey, let's see what that thing can do." He says out the window to me.

I smile, and nod no... "Nah, it's all good man."

I guess the guy didn't like my answer so he started to lurch the car a bit forward by power braking the Charger. The Hemi Bro! was making noise...

"C'mon, lets see what the Chevy will do. I got 350hp man." He trys to egg me on.

"Yeah? Neat, So do I. But I didn't need a Hemi to make it." I reply with emphasis on the Hemi.

Light goes green, he rolls away fairly quick. But not fully on it, I can tell... I think he was hoping I'd chase after. I didn't.

Continue on a few blocks more, we hit yet another red light. Bummer...

"I bet that dirty old piece of shit can't even keep up... " He power brakes it again.

Nobody calls my car a piece of shit except me. They don't pay the repair bills, they don't have the right to call my car a piece of shit... that is my honor and mine only... But they can call it dirty, cause it really is dirty... so I casually reach over for the traction control and click it off. Look to my left and let out a nasty 4500rpm rev.

For a split second the guy had a slight "crap" look on his face. But then got his game face on and looked ahead. I did the same watching the opposing light.

Light goes green, I let the clutch out a roughly 1700rpm getting a pretty damn good launch. Wind out 1st gear, slamming 2nd at 6100rpm getting an ass wiggle outta the shitty 245 rear tires.

He takes off in typical automatic fashion with a decent launch, although I gained half a car from my above average launch.

Holding 2nd gear to roughly 6000rpm I gained over a car, I slap 3rd gear hard the rear suspension squats once again and I hold 3rd to roughly 80mph and let off... with about two and a half car lengths ahead.

I quickly slow back down to 40mph... he stays back. As luck would have it, another red light. As I thought of something to say... he reluctantly pulls up. His window was still down as I looked over and he looks back, I purposely look at the fatty Hemi badge on the side of the car.

"Hemi... sweeet.."

Roll my tinted window back up, complete with bird doodie on it. This was a short light, and I take off completely normal listening to some tunes. He goes along his business and leaves me be.



But, I must say... the GoManGo! paint job on the Chargers is nice, and they do sound good. Overall, I find the Charger asthetically pleasing to the eye even if it has 4 doors. The SRT8's are pretty sweet though. One of those would trounce all over me...

Ok, so it's not cold here, just a bit cool. Low 60's about right now.

Its 14 outside right now. Fuck you.


OH-

Nice kill, they do look ok, but I still think a REAL Charger should only have two doors...and a shaker scoop so loud it gets banned in some states. Good kill none the less, love the "Hemi...sweeet". Did you say it in a Cartman voice, cuz that woulda been the shit.

Good kill!!! Nice to see you writing story in here again.

no shit its been below freezing for like 2 weeks here.

nice kill tho, put the new mopar boy in his place.

Really good story. Nice kill too.

Haha 50 here. Sucks for all those getting frostbite.

Good kill. Not a big fan of the non SRT chargers. Yeah its got a big engine and hp, but it weighs so friggin much! Way to show him where he is in the scheme of things.

I agree with ya Cassies, if the charger was 2 door, with a shaker and lighter, it would be a pretty sweet car.

I agree... I can't wait for the 'Challenger' that seems to be in the works.

In the grand scheme of things, my car isn't that high up on the food chain. But it does ok... for a piece of shit. :p

"Complete With the doodie on the window!" lol! Hey Matt I think you should look at this http://autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=103629

Challenger pic

i think the challenger looks pretty sweet too, my only concern is that the production car that actually comes out may look dif, you never know.

good kill, man. it feels good to knock one of those down after all the hype they've been getting.

Oooo

http://autoweek.com/images/news/103629

That grill is sexy.

The challenger looks freaking sweet. Hopefully its not a boat.

Apparently the cut 4 inches off the 300c/charger chassis from 120 to 116.

6.1 liter Hemi with a 6 speed manual... 2 door... smaller chassis... Could be a badass car.

it def could be, im interested to see what it weighs too.

matt lol that is hilarious, yes the right to call your own a pos is your right only. i hate it when other people call my car a pos. only i can call it that too! anyways yeah i hate the chargers, one of the ugliest cars on the road. it looks like chrysler inbreeded the 300c with the maginum. however the SRT 8 version looks very very beefy which i like, but too bad it weights as much as a light truck.

ugh, if only the 425hp was in something that weighed a wee bit less than 2 ginormous tons, and not so ugly.

Please challenger, make my wish come true

"Complete With the doodie on the window!" lol! Hey Matt I think you should look at this http://autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=103629

Challenger pic

oh my god that challenger proto type is cleannnnnnnnnnnnnnn hope they stick with that Idea........and a srt version would be even cleannnnnerrrrrrrrrrrrr......damn I want one.....time to sell my truck...

oh yeah nice kill red by the way.....hardley see the chargers race over here mostly ones on 20s-24s all rappers cars....sad

Great kill Matt!

I've been wondering how those cars would fair up I like the results.

Happy to hear your z28 is back on the road and your free to beat the 10 bolt.

I love a "HEMI DUDE!!111" kill as much as the next person, It sounds like you were being a jerk-off to the guy in the charger to begin with so I don't blame him for losing his cool Good kill none the less though.

BTW the challenger is sexy. As for the srt-8's being heavy there are quite a few to have run high 12's despite the weight. If your looking for a sports car maybe the srt-8 isn't your ride, but for a fast (straight line, and handling) american cruising car, it's great for the price IMO.

The new Challanger and Camaro look like shitboxes IMO. I really don't have anything against the domestics, but I don't like the boxy retro styling. They need to make cars that are a little bit rounder in their design, and weigh 1000 pounds less. Kind of like the Solstice and Sky, but with turbo motors.

:lol:

I think ya miss-read the story bro... I wasn't being the Jerk-off, He wanted to race me first, and started it. I declined not wanting anything to do with him... but he was being the douchebag.

to be honest im not sure what the sky looks like, but i think that the solstice looks about as attractive as a naked 800 pound man. however i also think the camaro concept looks retarded. the challenger is ok though IMO.

but its all subject to each person opinion...

Did anyone see the the movie the island? If you did you saw the charger cop cars. They looked pretty sweet and really not a bad idea. I mean they got to be faster then the Vic's and they got the room.

well i thought the crown vics are S/Ced. so they are faster than stock.

What Crown Vic is Supercharged? Police cruises?

haha, no... they just have the pursuit package which is better exhaust, heavier duty brakes, radiator and what amounts to a shift kit for the transmission. Along with a tranny cooler and oil cooler. Also a bit stiffer suspension.

^unless the cop did the S/C himself

ps. why isnt the insert image working? i was gonna show a pic of the Sky but i got nadda

Good kill. I hate those chargers/magnums. Some of the owners think the hemi engine really does make 350hp.

For a family car they do move, I just think the owners have somewhat of an attitude.

Loved your line, so I put it in my sig :D

Its 14 outside right now. Fuck you.




it was 11 this morning when i went to class... :banghead:

gooooooddd kill,


also, i was under the impression that the crown vics wer s/c too, at least my gf's dad's is but its super old, like a 91

more round......if cars got anymore rounder we would be seeing bubbles on wheels.......havent seen the camaro yet......

woot! there may be hope for me yet

woot! there may be hope for me yet

yes indeed, i'll TRY to get pics,... but def. no promises

Ouch, the Solstice was my #3 pic for car of the year...I really like the look

Anyways, nice kill on the Charger, I don't mind the boxy look, its definately more aggressive and a better tribute to the old muscle cars...but Im so disappointed with 4 doors and Auto only, I think thats really a cop-out...

and heres the Saturn Sky

I've seen numerousa aquad cars with their hoods popped (Texas heat, guiding traffic after a ball game or something, they pop the hood to keep the engine cool becuase they rarely ever shut those cars off, my dad said when he was a cop, they would sometimes run for 24 hours straight), and every time I look in, I have never seen a super charger.

well i thought the crown vics are S/Ced. so they are faster than stock.
There all N/A cars, they make 240 HP max, most only make 220 HP. Just about any good sports car will completely out run them. Except for the rare Police Camaro Cops are 100% dependant on radios and spike strips to catch people.

And dont forget about the helicopter. No matter how fast you think you are you cant out run the chopper :nono:

You missed Gone in 60 seconds.

Radio WILL GET YOU.

I may be wrong, but the max cruise speed of a Bell 222 (what most departments use) is 180...

And how many people can go that fast AND handle their car at that speed with traffic, turns, and as we have all seen on cops animals, buildings, and trucks.

I remember seeing a Porshe on world's wildest police videos, and the commentator said that it was going over 150 mph, faster than the helicopter could run. It almost lost the helicopter, but then it took an exit, and the helicopter caught up.

BTW, helicopters usually are not allowed by airports. So if you're ever being chased by a helicopter, head towards the airport.

I may be wrong, but the max cruise speed of a Bell 222 (what most departments use) is 180...


Well, actually... it does 220km/h. Or, 136mph.

So yeah, you could out run it. Except most departments, at least in California don't use that helicopter.

Most use the Eurocopter AS 355 N Twin Star, pictured here:

http://www.rotor.com/aircraft/27.jpg


Which can do upwards of 130kts, or roughly 149mph.

Just because they used the Bell 222 in Airwolf, doesn't mean it's bitchin.

And dont forget about the helicopter. No matter how fast you think you are you cant out run the chopper :nono:
You can outrun a helicopter, but again they’ll go back to the radio and the spike strips. Any road big and open enough to outrun a helicopter on is going to be ease radio in.

Like I said except for vehicles like this: http://www.modernracer.com/features/chevroletcamarocopfront1.jpg

Cops are completely dependent on there radios.

Those Camaro cop cars are weak. :lol:

hmmm i think cali highway police needs one of these

http://www.homanx.com/gallerypolicecars/jp/gallerypolicecarsr34gtr2.jpg

not that the cops in japan cares casue most highway racers theres goes above 300km/hr

Those Camaro cop cars are weak. :lol:


For real! I’m sure everyone has seen the video of the 15yr old kid who gets away from a Cop Camaro in a E30 M3. In fact the kid fakes the cop out and the cop loses it. They do catch him in the end but only because he over heated the car. Then the guy from cops makes all kinds of excuses and they even say the E30 was supercharged :lol: That video is like my holy grail.

I got it if no ones seen it.

What’s up with the glass on the hood?

I’m sure everyone has seen the video of the 15yr old kid who gets away from a Cop Camaro in a E30 M3.
If I remember right the M3 never outran the Camaro. The cop was trying to setup to spin out the M3 but messed up and ended up getting spun.

Post the vid!

I've seen it, from my understanding, the M3 was always able to keep away from the Camaro, but not totally outrun it.

Just because they used the Bell 222 in Airwolf, doesn't mean it's bitchin.

I saw something on the Hitler channel that said they mostly used 222s, but that was a while back.

And you can out run a radio...just exit the highway, then that mass roadblock they set up=useless.

post video!!! anyways i have no clue what that glass is for on the hood. its just there for decloration?
:dunno:

Maybe it’s the new ricer trend and by this time next year you will be able to buy a “hood glass” kit from Autozone for $49.95.:lol:

The kid in the M3 does indeed outrun a LT1 powered F Body. However, some people ordered the 1LE optioned camaros. They will outhandle an M3, but the ride is VERY unsettling (You'll lose your fillings).

The M3 did get away after the Camaro loses control. The over-heating part was just a slow motion scene of the M3 about to do a u-turn.

Here. Did a search and found the clip 3 years old. There's already several threads on this topic.

haha supercharged my ass. That was a pretty good chase, doesnt beat my favorite tho, the one with the mustang where they try and spin him out 3x, but he swings back around. Glorious

Like this one.

Yeah, this thread should get an award for most subject changes... and no fights.
