Well we can beat the brand new Stratus

I was behind him getting onto the highway last night, its the new style Dodge Stratus Coupe, not too bad looking.

He pulls around to get on the ramp and is doing like 20 so I am sitting in second close behind and then he guns it, so I hit my throttle and he isnt gaining at all. Finally as I am so on his *** the road opens to the lanes and I jump over still passing him and literally walking on by, he gestures with a nice finger as his engine is screaming but not moving the car and I just fly on by. Guess in the redesign they forgot to fix up the engine as well.

well it's nice to hear another car we can beat, but I don't think I'll be racing any 40 yr old mom driving her kids to school.

that's funny.

Yesterday going home from work some 45 + year old loser was trying to run me with his G35 Coupe. Like he really needed to prove he could beat a civic or something. He works in one of the buildings where I'm located. Time to egg the beeyatch.

The 3.0 V6 is a good engine and they are tough to pull on like that it had to be the 4 banger IMO. I have driven my friends and it has a **** load of Torque!

I was looking for tags on the back that might have let me in on if it was teh 4 or 6. I assumed 6 because it was pretty loaded, it was the coupe, fairly nice looking, I liked the stock tails on it. But he had the small spoiler in the back that was stock as well and he wasn't right in front of me, I left plenty of room for quick manuevering it need be, he wouldn't have gotten me on the brake check.

I also read somewhere that the braking on the EX coupe is similar to a Corvette, I could be very mistaken but to me the brakes on this car are phenomenal.

P.S.- the kid was maybe a year or two older if not the same age as me I'm 23.

yeah I didnt see an R/T tag.

So unless you get the R/T package you cannot get the 6 as an option?
