Default s2000 owns.............................

Well, long story short, had a guy at work talk trash to me about how his charger would eat up my s2k, and that i would 't stand a chance against his charger with a hemi. Long story short. I don't drive my car often, so i decided to do a practice launch, we all know how difficult that is to get a good launch. So i did, it was at night and it was fairly cold, so my tires just kept spinning and won't hook, so i thought i was dead at the race. Got to the lights lined it up and just decided to just bog it off the line. 1st gear he pulled on me be almost a car lengt, he was pulling till i hit vtec on 1st, 2nd gear, made up for the half a car that i lost, 3rd i was pulling away pretty good, by end of 4th i think somewhere near 170 km i was a full car length ahead, not sure how fast you'd be going in 4th at 8800 rpm. but that was the end of the race with me a car in front. Hope i made some of you guys proud. lol

All current generation "Chargers" are 4 door sedans.

There is an 80ish hp "Charger" from the early 80s based on the Omni platform. That was a 2 door.

Then you have the original Charger, late 60s to late 70s. Many of those that are in good condition these days would do pretty well against an S2000 in a stoplight race (that's an understatement ).

All you really need to do is hear the lumpy idle of a built Hemi Cuda to NOT think "Dodge sucks."

Nice race. The outcome is about what i expected... Charger would have a quick start, but the S would make up the ground and then some. So how does it feel to beat american muscle with a 4 cylinder?

I used to own a MY00 Dodge Dakota, I hated it after owning it for awhile. Not just cuz it's a Dodge but even the dealers didn't show me any respect due to that I'm azn. I will stand to say that Dodge suck but on the real? Hemi or a Hemi Cuda are no joke, a lumpy idle of a built Hemi Cuda sounds really scary cuz I've personally seen/heard one before. All I could say is "WOW"!!!
