Great job. I was behind one at a light Tuesday and he took off racing a
Trans am (which beat him) and I tried to keep up in my R/T and he only
pulled away 2 lengths to 80. I won't go more than 10 over the posted speed
and this was in a 70 mph zone. I can't wait for the SRt-10s to be sold I
bet he can't beat one of them!

Ive ever seen. He just wasnt a match for the 390 cubic inch magnum in the
lighter dak. I figure I'm pushing right around 400 horses with 4.10 gears
and R/T wheels with sticky tires. I looked up the lightning stats on the net
and it looks like they are around 360HP with 3.55 gears and more wieght. the
stats list it in the low 14's which is worse than I was pulling with my old
built 318 so I'm pretty sure it was a bonifidy SVT L, just no match for a
dak with a wrench head for an owner.
