Default My GAWD!! She loves to stretch her legs.

I have the '09 SRT8 6 speed and I'm going to get a speeding ticket for 90 in a 55. I just know it. When cruising along in 6th she just WANTS to be running 90. And it is so easy with this beast. It feels like 60 but after a few seconds you notice that you are going way faster than everyone else. That big 6.1 is barely beating at all at 90. That is scary.

The second day I owned it I'm cruising down 75/85 through the center of Atlanta. For those of you who aren't familiar with ATL traffic just picture a NASCAR race where a few thousand people are bump drafting at 80 mph. Bumper to bumper and hauling the mail. Well, I'm creeping along being held up by a minivan. I gear it down and jump to one of the left hand lanes and floor it. The SRT is smooth and strong and before I know it I'm approaching a ton and my Spidy Senses start tingling. I check the rear view and sure enough Fulton Counties finest is right on my full width tail light!!! CRAP!! I get out of the throttle and try to keep my internal organs from jumping out of my throat to see for themselves what's got my eye balls buggin' out. But guess what?? The cop goes for the far left lane, pulls along side and gives me the thumbs up!! SWEEEEeeehhhh!! Must have been the drive-out plates that got me a bit of sympathy.

Guess I've used all my Get-out-of-jail-free cards. I've got a car that has a warning system when you exceed a set MPH. This car could certainly use one of those. You listening Dodge??
