I couldn't believe it. This thing looks like a neon, and off the light it slowly pulled away from me (1/2 length) before I had to slow down (below 100km) to merge in behind him ... I don't know if I can go outside anymore

I am not too surprised although the data below are a bit contradictory.
Dodge SRT4 MT 5/5 6.0 14.4 105.0
Dodge SRT4 CD 4/04 5.3 13.9
I created this list to help us avoid embarrassment, but I have quit maintaining it. But, the list was meant to cover only cars that should have no chance against a 545i/550i unless the driver was asleep at the wheel. The first SRT4 above is on the list. Maybe I need to update the list again some day.

I wasn't sleeping at the wheel, so it must have been the SRT4 CD, but it's still a neon, sh%t!
. Just kidding.

Again, our cars aren't the best pick for all out performance or drag racing... even with the big V8.
That Neon is a fast car. Not to take anything away from it but I wouldn't be caught dead in one. It's a nice car for someone half my age though.
