Mr. Self... you do not have a LS1 you cannot beat the almight SRT-4. Sheesh, everybody seems to think they can just beat a SRT-4. Ever since that stock Cavalier beat one everybody is like "WHOA! I can beat one too!"
Self...Stop this nonsense or I'll be forced to Ban you.
You have been warned.

Gosh that was fun to say...
Anywhooo, your Z28 ain't no push over... and he obviously wasn't the best driver judging by how you said he launched horribly. I say don't give up on the SRT-4 till you've raced one piloted by a driver who knows what he's doing. Such as yourself.
But it is good to hear a kill story against what seems to be everybodies favorite little race car now days. Seems like all I hear or read these days is SRT-4 this... SRT-4 that...
