Of how my FoST punished another car; this time, a Charger V6, with some high schoolers inside. Story below. :)

So I'm out cruising with my friends(S60-R and WRX) Saturday night around town for the hell of it with my full tank of gas(the first full tank in about a month). We sit at a light getting ready to turn onto Woodward heading south(if you haven't figured it out already, I'm around Woodward a lot, I live 10 minutes away from that awesome road). All of a sudden, a dark blue Charger appears next to me. Now, high school homecoming was that night, so I assumed that these people, two girls and one guy, were high schoolers; certainly looking young enough to be at least, some people mistake me for being 15-16 and I'm 19!

Kinja'd!!!

Anyways, I hear the guy call me out asking "where's your turbo?!?" in a condescending, smart-ass tone, like he was trying to start crap. I didn't really have an answer for that, and he said "this car is faster than your no-turbo car". I take a look to give him a quick laugh and I see something incredibly stupid about this "situation"....

That guy, is sitting in the backseat with one of the girls; the second girl was driving them so the Charger is presumably hers, or as we like to call here, "Daddy bought you a 'fast' looking car to appease the high school boys". I'm just thinking to myself, "the fuck is he doing in the back talking smack?", and the driver girl is just going along with it and looking confident.

The light turns green, and she turns first, heavy on the pedal if I'm honest and I'm assuming she was trying to slide? I really don't know. I turn and speed up to the next light. This guy is still calling me out and asking where my turbo is; it's clear that he wants a race; I don't even think he knew what I was driving other than a Focus, he never saw the catfish grill. I give in slightly and while I didn't acknowledge the fact, I knew it would happen. Road is empty, the light turns green, and they set off slightly before I do. They're only about a couple feet in front of me before I flat-out boost past them in 2nd and get to the next light at 60mph in 3rd.

Needless to say, the damage to their psyche was done, their windows were rolled up before they caught up, and I was on my way home after that. But what makes this story excellent, is the fact that the tires I was using, were my winters(General Altimax Arctics) which have absolutely crappy grip on the road right now, are Q-rated(max speed being 99mph) and I still decked them in the schnoz!!

Those poor high school bastards, don't fuck with Charlotte FoST. ;)

I have a V6 Charger for driver's ed. Not the most enjoyable thing to drive by a long way. Slow as hell too.

The only time I was in one was years ago when I went to Florida with my parents for spring break and had a black one as a rental. I liked it more than the Magnum we had, and still have, and it was comfortable. But it is the most basic 'Murican rental "muscle" car you could possibly get.

I think it would be a pretty close race between a standard Focus and a V6 Charger. I think on paper, even my Mom's Vibe is quicker.

They needed(they as in that guy) needed to have his mouth closed shut and I can only imagine how the rest of their night was. ;)

But they would have had it worse, had my summers still been on.

was it the 2,7 or the 3.6? Because the 2,7 is extremely underpowered and just doesn't want to go any time soon. It's sucks the life outta you.

Being a rental I wanna say the 2.7 because it's the lowest model and the cheapest. You might have lucked out on the 3,6 though.

It kind of reminds me of a night I was riding with a friend in his Cummins. It was pretty close to stock, but had a few bolt-ons and a good tune. A guy in a stock V6 Silverado kept trying to race him. He even honk started a couple of times. Finally, my friend had enough, dropped it into 4th and just left him. It was fun.

That sucks. If it had the 3.6 or the Hemi it'd likely be much better. I miss my dads Magnum,

You at least need to ride in a tuned/built diesel once. The feel of the torque is as addicting as revving out a rotary, if not more addicting.

If that Charger has the same 3.5L "high output" (my ass) penta-star V6 mated to a slush box set-up that i have in my Magnum, he shouldn't have even tried to race you. Truth be told, it's a great sounding engine. Probably the best sounding american v6 I've ever heard, but holy shit is it slow. Like,put your fut down, count to 5, and then you'll hear the engine, slow. My brother and i affectionately call it the "tap dancer" for the way you can tap the gas pedal to the floor in rhythm with whatever music you're listening to, and notice no change at all in your pace.

Funny enough, I can do the same with the 2.7L in my dad's Magnum; the tap dancing. :P

It's kinda funny when I tap the gas on a slope going uphill and nothing happens..

does yours downshift when you stomp the pedal? Mine doesn't. It will tell you to wait patiently as it pulls from the bottom of fifth to the top XD

Ours waits a second and only likes to downshift from 2-1 and 3-2 depending on speed. It's annoying as hell. But I assume all autos do this. My Astra and my moms Windstar did this as well.

I don't know if it's because it's meant for towing, but the only other auto i drive regularly aside from a 13 passat tdi (which also doesn't do this) is my 2001 v10 F250. I beat on that thing senselessly and it shifts better than the dodge by a wide margin lol. 450 lb ft of torque as opposed to 200 may also be a factor lol.
