I was left sitting at a redlight caught up in my thoughts when Mr. RT hits it and peels out just in time to race ahead and stop at the next red. I ease away and slowly, get to the next light. He's a well fed chap, bout 260 or so, big slab of beef for an arm hanging out the window.

He leans out and motions for me to roll down the passenger window. I do. He asks "why you boy racers add expensive wheels to junk cars...?" [cliffs] I have a debagded SS all it says on the rear is "cobalt" so I have the polished 17s.

I say..."Well so I can waste Durango RTs" (i throw a chesher). He snaps back "Dude in your wildest dreams..this is V8 boy..aint no four banger with fancy rims hangin'period tough guy".

I say..Ok lets go on green. Highway leads out of town to a 55 mph road 4 lanes with no lights.

The light goes green and he hits it. Not bad. He's got me to middle of 2nd by a fender but he 2.4 and Vector tune is just hitting its stride. By middle of third I am stomping a mud hole in his ego. I have a few cars lengths now and he's fading fast..I can safely brake and call it a day. But el'beefo needs a lesson like another pot pie. So I stay in it in 4th all the way to 7000 and pull him..... HARD.

I shut down. Brake multiple times so he sees my tailights brake....brake...brake. He comes shooting by a few seconds later, still full throttle, with the universal peace sign extended. ...sad thing is, I don't think he ever lifted...ran home and kicked his wife. I hate it around here when the Steelers lose.

 

Older R/T's models are mostly a joke. I've only seen a few trick out ones that were performance orentated.

The days of the v8 being fast is far and few between.

 

I like readin your kills,some things never change,a guy figures he has a big engine so he is king

 

I like killing my kills..

We should hit up Brian Crower about cams.!!

 

You should have told him to drop 100 pounds off his gut and come check on you later! I hate fat SUV drivers!

 

no doubt,I want this to go with the header/DP and a kickass throttlebody would be sweet too

 

Nice kill! It's funny everyone I've met with a Durango R/T always says the same thing: "From 0-40 I can waste anything"...tisk tisk. I guess they are all cocky.

Man I'd love to run a 2.4SS, I think it would be a really good race.

 

there's a saturnmotorsports throttle body that fits our cars. A guy on the solstice forum posted a review about it and it was very promising.

 

Don't waste your money on that TB, just looks pretty and yields and since it's the same TB just bored like .03 or something similar your wasting your money. You'll get maybe 3whp for $200-300. Not good IMO

plus a tb wont help at all if you ever get boosted

 

Anyone see this manifold before..???

now i watched a video of a 2.4 against a RT and didnt believe it for a second since the 2.4 was stock and the RT was modded. but this one i can believe after reading your mods. the fastest my buddy ever got in his stock RT was a 14.9 so i can see you taking this guy. nice kill man!

 

Not knocking that one but it does not do much,waiting for better

 

I never plan on boosting, been down that road before

 

like to know more on this product

 

is this before or after we raced lol...U suprised me lol

 

the trucks yea...but the durangos are alot heavier and less aerodynamic lol..they run mid 15's i believe

but none the less nice kill

 

Good kill man! Why is it truck guys think just because they have a V-8 and 300+hp they can take on the world? True it may have 300+hp but it also weighs like 6000 pounds!

Its all power to weight.

 

Different day...but the 2.4 Sedan can boogie can't it?!

 

Not all truck guys think that...

 

Oh I know that why I didn't say ALL.
