I am dialed 9.59, so we race and afterwards he says "what mph do you run?" I say 139 trying not to look at his timeslip. (it has all the info for both of us) He says hmmm I'll do it different next time. I walk away thinking I caught him at 1000'....yea I would do it different also if I were him.

I was speechless, didn't want to insult him. 1970 Challenger, all aluminum 528 Hemi, HDK suspension, Tremec 5 speed manual

When I tell them, I usually get some version of "I din't know Dodge made convertibles."

I hear the "reaction time" thing all the time, i just laugh anymore, I always got accused of running nitrous in my duster because it ran in the 10s & looked very tame . But what i truely loved was when the Bowtie guys would tell there buddies "you don't want any part of that mopar", it'll kick your ass . Another is the guy who has the 9 second car, i'd say where is it , Oh its at home being fixed, I'd always get them when i'd say (what is the MPH or 60ft.), then they shut up , now on accation this was the same guy telling the other street racers if they get a better reaction time they WILL run faster .
