Hemi Kill!!!!!!!
happened on the way to work this mornin on the beltway.
ole boy seen me comin and sped up to block me from passin in his hemi quad cab. so i got in behind him. we where cruzin about 70 and he took off, with me right behind him. i had to let off and hit the brakes at 90 or i risked putting my bumper in the bed of his truck. got to a point where i could go around him and nailed it. i guess he antissipated(sp) what i was going to do and nailed it right before i did. the guy never had a chance. i pulled on him like he was draggin a trailor, like in the commercial. came up on a red light and we where both sitting side by side. i goosed the truck a couple of times to let him know i wanted to see what it did off the line, but he wouldn't even look at me. so i decided to nail it anyways off the line. good thing i did, because he did the same. i got the better jump of the two of us. landing his front hemi badge about where my side mirrors are. and he started to pull ever so slightly. but as my rpms climbed so did my power. when i hit about 2 grand i started to gain what i had lost. and when i hit second it was all over. second threw me about a 1/2 a truck length in front of him and then he just gave up. it was kinda nice to see it happen this mornin. i think my tune from farmtruc is finally starting to blossom. those Hemi's usually give me fits. but maybe it was just one of those slow 15.6 hemi's, dunno?
but a kill is a kill in my book.

Glad more of these overrated trucks are going down. Unfortunately I have not had share of sc Hemi's. Seems like there very few around here.

wonder why you didn't beat him better off the line since you have a lighter truck. seemed too close. i thought with the less weight, a TC, and E-fans, you would get a good gain. i bet with 3.73's or 4.10's you would of seen that HEMI badge in your rearview mirror. NICE KILL!!! what are your 60' times?
