Race With a Dodge Yellow Jacket, Sorry no Video
I know most posts like these are useless without video but I just wanted to express my like in the Dodge that wanted to race the Z06 this morning.
I was on the freeway headed over to Mesa when a yellow Dodge Challenger starts riding my rear. Starts to go around and I notice it was not just a standard Challenger which I spank with no problem. This one had yellow jacket decals all over it. Looked nice if you like yellow. I dropped into 4th gear at about 70 and we both jumpped on it. The Z left him pretty good but not as bad as I usually do. Does the yellow jacket have a bigger engine or other stuff in it to make it faster? He was a good sport and gave me a thumbs up. I know, I need to grow up and stop all this street racing but after 45 years of doing it, I just can't seem to turn down a challenge.

Just a sticker package? That's to bad, ran pretty good. I guess I could have dropped it down to at least third gear but I have never really had much problems with Challengers. They are just so big and heavy. Now I know a hellcat is a whole different animal. This one ran like he had some goodies in it.

4th gear at 70 is nothing though. That is prime for 2nd gear. Hell, I don't see 4th until ~132-133mph.
