dekan513 · 04-01-2012, 10:02 AM

last night i was pulled over by a 11 srt8 green very nice car and talked to the guy for a few and we switched cars for about a mile its a nice car has nice features like the 0- 60 times 1/8 run and 1/4 run keyless startup white face gauges. runs good to but i almost know 100% my car will take it. both are 6 speed manuals.
the guy love my camaro and couldnt believe the power of it compared to his hemi 392. i forgot my phone or would have taken some pics .

I never drove one. But those things are boats there huge.

TheHorse13 · 04-01-2012, 11:08 AM

Did you mention to him that your car isn't stock and has bolt ons and a tune?

SSGUNNER · 04-01-2012, 11:12 AM

Nice.

ss409cid · 04-01-2012, 11:14 AM

Your lucky he gave you your car back...

Jeff_SS · 04-01-2012, 11:15 AM

That is such a cool story man. My favorite part is where you posted pics.
I'm actually going to print them out, and put them in a safe deposit box so that I can show them to my kids some day when they're old enough to appreciate how great those pictures are.

And why would you do this? Never let the cat out of the bag unless it's gonna cost you money!

Am I the only one who thinks it is a very stupid idea to give the keys to your car to a complete stranger

hightower · 04-01-2012, 01:11 PM

Sounds like a nice experience. I too would like to know how a 392 compares.

speeddemon69 · 04-01-2012, 01:22 PM

i wouldve never let anyone drive my car specially if i dind know them. but sweet he let u take it back lol

ss/rs-matt · 04-01-2012, 01:27 PM

I test drove a 2011 392 SRT Challenger when I was car shopping. The interior, gauges and Nav/radio system is nicer then the Camaro, but its was also an extra $10k.

heymatt · 04-01-2012, 01:46 PM

Had the good fortune to be visiting my buddy's when his neighbor came over. He tossed us a set of keys for a 2012 SRT8 Challenger 6 spd. Told us to go have fun, don't wreck it and bring it back with a full tank.

He's a regional rep for Dodge.
Needless to say it was the most fun you could have for $50.
Think Ferris Bueller.

Awesome power, big car, handles decent. Nice, but........
I like my Camaro better.

dimster · 04-01-2012, 07:41 PM

Great story

although i would never hand over my keys like that, not even to my significant other

I have a soft spot for challengers, they just look awsome!

Deki · 04-01-2012, 07:51 PM

Can I get cliffs from someone? This guy's internet lingo and run on sentences give me a migraine.

I would never give my keys to someone else. Well, one person, my wife when I am hammered. Other than that, pretty stupid.
