Do I Have A Chance?

The srt8 charger isn't that quick, it's a low 13 car.

Honestly, with his current mods, all it will take is traction and/or driving. I think the car has it in her, but those tires i see in the pic don't inspire confidence.

As far as running shortbelts, ditching weight, i think that is kinda silly in a bragging rights street race. IMO, that puts an asterisk next to your name on the list, people will always say "but" when speaking of the race. Any idiot can start unbolting stuff and lightening the car.
If that's how you always drive around normally, that's fine, other than that it won't really help prove anything.

A money race is totally different, that's the race where you do what it takes to win.

In that kind of race bananas in the other guys tail pipes is the ticket.

Yeah, but, if you are granny shifting or miss a shift (ahem.... 3rd) you stand to lose a good half second. And if you bog or spin in the 60', your chances of catching up are slim, especially on a stock top ended 5.0
