Default Hemi Magnum takes the bait and goes down.

I was on my way home from a 3am to 11am split shift, last day this week!!
On the freeway and going fast through the herd of sheep.
Cruising along about 80mph and passing people left and right.
Guess I'm the only one who wanted to get home at noon.
A Hemi Magnum pulls up behind me (hoping it was a Charger) and starts to draft, I think he's just using me as a radar blocker so I speed up.
He does not take the bait. I slow down to about 70 mph and roll into it again, he starts to pace me up to about 90 mph.
I'm thinking cool he wants to go now. Big dumb truck can't beat the mighty Magnum he's thinkin I bet.
I slow down to about 70m mph again and he's right on my bumper. I'm at low boost because the STS buzzer keeps goin off at 8psi.
I roll into into it softly and see him taking the bait finally. I punch it up to almost 120mph and the whole time pulling away from him. He was on it hard at first and I think he let off when the speed was too much for him or something. I finally found out it was a Magnum as I left the freeway at my exit (almost missed it!). How fast are these things supposed to be anyway?
God I love blowing people away!!

Who knows?? Hard to tell, all black and shiny and new looking. Maybe a last year model?? It had the Hemi badge up front before the wheel well.
I think it was stock, but could not hear his with mine being so f-ing loud.

I can't say much about those Magnums and Chargers.I toyed with a Hemi Charger and it surprised me.Still slower but a surprise non the less.

A Hemi Magnum with a good driver should run low 14s. Friends ran 14.1@100 stock, then he removed the backseat and went 13.8@101. LOL

Nice kill!
A guy I know has a Hemi charger that is running 9 psi of boost and he plans on spraying it, I've rode in it and it's pretty damn fast.
