How about a base Caliber. I hear it'll smoke an 8.

And by the way it's much more than just one magazine. |
Forget 300C, let's talk about the Caliber SRT.

No torque for us :(

A mean looking black charger was behind me in the center lane. He accelerated, moved into the far right lane and blew by me like I was standing still. All I saw was an R/T badge and taillights. He tried to bait me into a race, but I wisely declined. Simply put, U will get PWNED.

A neighbour/fellow motorcyclist has a 300 Hemi with the AWD, a company car for him...nice! He and I take the same empty country roads into work each day so we often encounter eachother. We're usually pretty even, it's more about whoever gets the jump. That said, he'd probably pull away if we didn't run out of road, or if it was a RWD Hemi he'd have an easier time of it.
Anything with curves though, he slows right down. |

Josh......whether it's a Chrysler 300 or a Dodge Charger......both are going to kill you in any straight line race. You should try to move this race to a curvy road if at all possible. Would you like to borrow my Mustang GT?......then you can beat him.

Lovin' my stang!!!! rarely miss the RX8.......except in a few weeks (no seat heaters in the stang). |
Did you check out the clips I posted in one thread "badass exhaust videos" or something like that? Man... the Ford GT sounds like a monster. And I couldn't believe finding those two with TT kits on them. Damn!
Of course the Mustang clips I posted were great too. I especially love the sound of the 302 with competition cams in it. That lumpy idle with some throaty exhaust just sound tough. BTW... I may end moving to the Detroit area. Depends on if this company will actually pay me decent money or not... |

That's awesome about the move to Detroit......I think :hahano: PM me with more details about where the company is located......I'll give you ideas of good places to live if you're not familar with the Detroit area. |
Here is that thread... https://www.rx8club.com/general-automotive-49/bada%2A%2A-exhaust-video-clips-103551/

I won't be able to hear them until I get home. I love that Mustang GT race vs the Ford GT though......I think I recognize that Mustang from another forum. |

Fast & Furious
Yes it is sad that we know so many quotes from The Fast & the Furious:
Smoke 'em! He owns you now...you know I retract my last statement...this car will decimate all. You want ass, try Hollywood Blvd., you want a rush it'll be 2 large. I gotta go find Jesse. My brother is like...........like gravity. |
Oh no! Not another F&F quotes posting
Here we go again :) |
That's alrite, that's too much chrome for me anyways.
