Default Newbie with SRT

Hello my Fellow car enthusiast. I'm new here from SRTForums and just wanted to stop by and say how great your cars are, regardless of all the bashing my car gets. It may look like a Neon, but once in it, its a whole different story and have no regrets about it. Currently have 22,000 miles in it since April 1 of 03.

I'm here also because I've had several encounters with Z's here in Cali, Last one being last night on the 405fwy by the airport. It was Black with rims and cool guy in mid 20's or so. I pulled about 1 1/2 cars and was wondering if he's here or any others that have ran into a Silver SRT with a PROLIFIC sticker on the window both passenger sides. I'm stock, with Gold Line Springs and Polyurethane Bushings front/back with end links.

I'm not a hater, basher, troll, etc. Just into the same thing you guys r into, just drive a different car that alot of people Hate. Oh well, it was the fastest car I can find that was in my price range
Peace and be safe out there

No, you're not a troll. You just popped in to brag about winning a race and to say hello. If I took it the wrong way, I apologize and say "welcome"...

I tell you what, you can stay here if you bring your mother too becuase she's probably in her early 30's.

The funniest thing to me, is this kid spent 5 minutes to register and then he'll check back on the replies a few times through out the day. What is it that compel's people to completely waste their time.

What's the point in flaming this guy... I mean really. Yes he claims to have beaten a Z, but he also says he really likes them. Ease up on the agression for a few minutes.

cedusett, are we really bashing?

#1 we all know the Srt-4 is not faster than the z stock.

#2 Compared to other forums, I think we're being easy on him.

#3 What other reason did he have to come to our forum and post his first post as a "beat a Z" post.

Aggression? I think not.

Skepticism and retort, I think so.

Well, He OPENED his post by saying he liked Z's... so I give him credit for that. If he wants to post some crap about beating a Z just so he can come back and check it, and waste his own time, who cares... its his time to waste.

Someone calls him a troll, then someone assumes he's like 15 years old, then someone else sarcastically says he just put up a quality post. And those were the first 3 responses he gets. Maybe I'm just too nice of a guy, but I think the first thing I'd say is 'Hey nice to have you, welcome to the forum'.

And as for other forums being worse, who cares? That doesn't mean that being skeptics about everything is good?

hmmm, your from SRTforums... my 16 year old bro is a member there... a few days ago he showed me a "show off your shift *****" thread. .. ...nothing else needs to be said. You have a GREAT car tho, ..

My last SRT-4 encounter in my z being last night on the autobahn by the airport. It was lime green with hub caps and cool guy in mid teens or so. I pulled about 1 1/2 cars and was wondering if he's too young to be a good driver since his car should have beaten mine. Is there any others that have ran into a lime green SRT-4 with an "eat my dust" sticker on the window both passenger sides. I'm stock, with a set of chrome boxing gloves hangin in my rear view mirror and a Polyurethane steering column.

that being said, i respect the car.

I dont doubt a Z has lost to a SRT4. they are pretty damn close; and youd better get it on the launch. its always a drivers race; and he won. if he were in a civic or something, Id be skeptical but its not a longshot to lose to an srt-4 by any means.

Sorry, I would have posted earlier but I was over at the Ferrari forum posting how I don't own or even drive one of their cars but how much I love their car and I just beat one in a race, and how cool I am and stuff.....

Gotta run, must get back to plucking the wings off houseflies...
