Got surprised by a Dodge Neon Yesterday
Was a beautiful day yesterday and was out for a drive in the F-Type when a little blue Dodge Neon starts acting like he wants to race. He was behind me so I decided to play a bit and floored the car. I was quite surprised that the Neon after falling behind initially started to quickly catch up! Because of road conditions we slowed down and got onto another stretch and we did it again. Same result. We come to a stop and talked and it turns out he did a modified SRT 4 engine swap - the car was a sleeper. At the end of our conversation we were about to go our separate ways and he said to me that he had fun and wished he had a grandfather as cool as me (I am old enough to be his grandfather).
Should I have been insulted or flattered?

Already have a crank pulley and tune. Did some quick research on the SRT 4 engine and it can easily be modded up to 350 to 450Hp at reasonable expense. I would say he was pushing some pretty high boost and the cars weigh at least 1000 -1500 lb. less than an F-type so it was probably a pretty fast straight line ride.
Can't remember the name of the movie but some young girls steal a parking spot and tell the older woman that they are "younger and faster", the older lady rams her car into theirs and tells the " I am older and have better insurance" or something to that affect. Priceless.

Well then...….only one solution to this situation - A NEW SRV

The few upsides to getting older are cheaper insurance, better credit and a bigger bank account.
Props to the kid for building a pretty fast sleeper 🤟
