The spacing of those honks are among the worst I've ever heard.

Honk...................Honk............Honk..GO!!!!


I mean it should be

HONK..HONK..(GO)

Nice, short intervals. It's easier to be consistent with the interval between the 2nd and 3rd honks this way as well.

Not that I advocate street racing on any level, especially not with other cars on the road like that, it is pretty amazing that the IS-F walked right by him while he was accelerating at over 120mph. As far as I can tell, this car will pull hard pretty much all the way through the power band. I wish I knew of somewhere that I could run the standing mile, or get to an old airstrip so I could see what 150+ feels like.

LMAO, entertaining video! I agree with VBB on street racing. I would never be able to live with myself if I hurt or took a life being stupid.

^300c SRT8.


Looks like some of the SRT owners in the comments are in disbeliefe, those 300c's are as aerodynamic as a brick at those speeds

^^^^I might not have been so blunt and harsh with my words, but I certainly agree with you 100%. The guys are fools and could have killed someone. We really don't need that kind of crap here
