Here is me getting annihilated by a charger. Some sorta bee emblem was on the side of it. I was moving and he was basically pushing me to get out of the way lol. Then he just zips around me like nobodies business in the end. It was fun times. You get some good engine notes out of the vid at least.
The 8-speed auto gave the Charger a slight advantage. The 6-speed auto in the wife’s Escape turns the 2.5L into a rocket in gears 1-3.

At least he/she wasn't an unmarked Trooper. Your 5-speed swap and perhaps some boost might give that Charger a bit more of a challenge.
I have to say that the transmission is god awful for the power the car has. It is just not in sync with what the engine is providing. The mans trans will no doubt give the car a BIG seat of the pants improvement.
From the burnout in video above...
I took the photo a day after...I like how the thrown rubber is still behind the tread marks.
I see you have other locals using that same spot for donuts. Neighbors must love that LOL
LOL I wonder if they shut down the intersections and do donuts until the police come; like they do on the west coast
Doubt it. It is not a busy area.
Find the video of the idiot doing doughnuts on the Golden Gate Bridge that shut down the bridge and the latest is shuttng down Highway 5 for a stupid "side show".
Unfortunately we might be seeing more of that here in NJ; as they are shutting down the tracks. E-Town being the more popular of the tracks that was shut down recently.
Sorry Dave for![]()
I heard about that. What about Island and Atco?

Route 78 in Newark outside the penitentiary. They shut down the local lanes and race IIRC. Haven't been there in over 2 decades
Ahh.
