Cool '00 SS vs. SRT4(?)

I WISH I had a video for you guys and gals for this one, but...

I was headed down to see some friends at a college 6 hours away from me, so you could imagine I had some highway time on the way down.

So, this neon pulls up to me and it definitely sounded modded/turbo'd, etc. I'm no expert driver, but he held onto me pretty well as we kept racing back and forth for the drive.

THEN, the 'finale' we both went from a 50mph roll and punched it and he was holding on nicely, I was impressed. We got up to about 130 and his lane was clear but I had a semi and I wasn't going to beat him to the semi but I couldnt dare let my fine F-Body lose to a f-in neon... Soooo, you're damn right I gave it all I had and hit 160 on the shoulder, around the semi and thus RAPING the neon. Sure surprised him and I was glad to finally bury my speedo for a change...

Nothing epic, but I had a lot of fun...

Congrats on the kill but that is one of the dumbest things you could do. 160 mph on the shoulder?


Guys...don't do this.
