    Default Dodge Dart...LOL

    So I'm leaving work yesterday and I'm drifting slowly to the light along 45N. I get passed by a Dart all done up with decals proclaiming it a Dodge Dart and it slams on the brakes for the light. I slowly pull up to the line next to him and he starts hopping. I look over at him and laugh. He jumps the light and has to slam the brakes since the second light is slower than the first. At this point I offer him a lesson in humility by getting next to him and wasting him. By the end is second I was 2 cars way and third was just going to annihilate him so I let off. Of course I get a ricer/dodge flyby, so I'm thinking maybe the SRT will be more of a fight this RT was crap.

    Mier, too good. Another option I've taken to is just to sit at the light next to them, and light up the rear tires. Once they have seen the smoke show, rarely do you get attitude.

    I just don't see how that would deter them considering, they are unfamiliar with the concept of having enough power to smoke the tires. Perhaps they think the smoke is from your exhaust and thinking that your engine is about to blow, they feel sorry for you and don't attempt to race - LOL

    I can assure you that when they roll their windows down to clear the burnt rubber smoke from INSIDE THEIR CAR, they know EXACTLY where it came from

    I should get drag radials if I do that. I'm cheap and my tires aren't so I'd have to pass on doing a burnout. Then again I could always beef up my car and call it "The damn dirty Dodge destroying Pontiac"

    I wouldn't be so sure about that...one has to have experienced burning rubber to know what it smells like. Plus they can't be too smart if they're driving a Dart

    NICE. That could be an effective sales slogan
