figures.. raced a dodge dakota r/t
Just my luck, I was on my way home from stopping @ Costco & Best Buy. For those of you that know Costco, you dont walk out of there without dropping $150 plus on groceries and the car probably weighed in over 200lbs more than normal (and keep in mind almost all is in the trunk). So I am trying to get home as fast as possible since I went to best buy after costco (with a lot of foods that need to be in the fridge 
).. Anyways I pull up to a light and notice a older 99-02 etc dodge dakota r/t (those small ones with the suped up engines, I think 5.9 liter ) with HID's retro fitted into the head lamps that has been lowered. Anyways I have a feeling he wants a go at it. I am sitting at the light behind 1 person, and as soon as the light goes green I pass the person in front of me and give it 1/2 throttle to get up to speed... Well I see he is right behind me, then he starts to go around me pretty quickly. As soon as he is about to me rear door I gun it... I didnt see how fast we ended up, but I think we went from about 40mph to about 90-100mph. There was a slower car in my lane and I was thinking I would be able to full in front of the dodge pretty easily, but as we approched the car I could see that he was still at my rear bumper, definately not enough room to pull in front of him. WOW, that thing was pretty damn quick!!!! Well I hit the breaks pretty hard... OH ****, I had 2 cartons of eggs 18 eggs in the trunk 
!!! I pull into his lane and go around the car, we are approaching a section of the road that is being worked on and it has a few S curves in it. He took that thing like a go cart, while I had to putter through, praying that all my food wasnt being coated with egg slime... Well after the Esses, it was pretty much over, I came out floored and reeled him in. He might have let off the gas at that point, but after that we went our seperate ways.....
That dodge HAD to have something major in it like a supercharger, since I am putting more power to the wheels than they come with stock from the factory.
As a side note I only broke 2 eggs

supercharger.. possibly
and it could of been the 5.9L ... tons of torque stock.
or if the guy did not have a kompressor, he must of had headers and exhaust.. and chip. Really easy to mod that 5.9L engine.
Next time... don't 1/2 throttle around any modded car or truck, chances are they are ready to play.
The same thing happended to me with a Silverado SS with Supercharger, by the time I reacted it was too late. I didn't know he wanted to play.
