Was just on my way home from the speed shop filling up with some Sunoco 104 race gas and has just hit the highway. So i'm cruising with the cruise control on (LoL) at 60 MPH with the windows down and some CCR on full blast :)

Then out of nowhere (he could have been behind me, but i wasnt paying any attention to my rear view at all) This slick looking black challenger passes me, very slowly i might add. I see the "392" badges on the fender and take my car out of cruise control. I had eased up on him just a bit to let him know i was there to see if he wanted to have a friendly run. Then all the sudden he just drops down and takes off... i'm like ok well maybe next time.

But then he slows down to maybe i would say 50 MPH (speed limit was 65) and so then i found myself back on his drivers side. I downshifted from 6th to 4th going about oh maybe 47-50 MPH. i wanted to slow enough to get to 3rd so i can could really put a hurting on him but he wouldn't slow down anymore.

He gave me a good rev and so i honked us off and let him take the hit. i waited half a second and then i too went WOT. i caught him and passed him at the very top of 4th and shifted into 5th gear and went into another zip code on him. he stayed behind me and would not come back up. he followed me for a while then exited.

I will say that challenger was a very sharp looking car. It was black with black SRT wheels and charcoal gray stripes, pretty tough looking indeed. I know he was a manual but could not be sure if he had any mods although if it had stock exhaust then my car is stock too lol.

It was on my "Race" tune of 22 degrees peak timing and as before mentioned 104 octane in the tank :)

You had that car covered and then some with that mod list in your signature if he was stock, hell stock for stock you probably would have still taken him. Good run all the same though, those cars look good, they're just the size of a house.

Might be off the speed. i know i was in 4th trying to get to 3rd but i don't like starting in 3rd with a high RPM. When he took the hit he got about a car out on me then when i did my hit i caught him and past as if he was standing still. i went into 5th to rub it in a bit, he was oh i would say maybe 5 or 6 cars behind was really hard to watch speed levels and all that. i was more focused on the road and RPM's.

Was fun for sure to stretch the legs. I was really surprised the guy wanted to run as hard as he did.
