Saw my first SRT8 yesterday

[FOHN_JARGO]

I was leaving my wifes work yesterday when I spy the front of a Charger about 4 or 5 cars back. I see the badge in the grill and think "That does not say R/T. Is that an SRT!?" I keep it slow hoping the red car of beauty will catch up and I can talk with him. I can tell he is eager to get through the traffic. Then again maybe that is just the impression that car gives.

Now he is getting closer but still laging behind due to traffic. I decide I need to show him the way. I start weaving through traffic, safely I might add, and he gets the hint. We approach a red traffic signal so I stop short hoping he gets along side. Damn! I did not stop short enough and he is in the left lane one car back. We get to the next light but this time I get it right.

I give him a and he rolls down his window and is grinning like a Cheshire cat. I tell him nice car and that my wife drives the Magnum (I was in my truck). I have my window down still and traffic has pulled away from us. He takes the oppertunity to let me hear the exhaust and punches it. It gave me goose bumps and I was giddy as a school girl being asked to the prom. He slowed down and I told him how awesome that was.

You folks that are fortunate to them have my admiration. I look forward to getting my doors blown in someday by you!

BTW this occured on Walnut Ave in Rogers, Arkansas. I hope he visits the forum. I want a ride in that beast!

Yeah, my face is continually sore...

I said to a work associate "The corners of my mouth seem to pull up and back as I hammer it. Is it the acceleration that makes it do that?" :grin:

He just giggled and said, do it again!

They truly are a blast to drive, it's hard to not always be smiling.

Those Chargers in SRT form have an unbelievable sinister look to them, I am envious whenever I see one actually.
