    Driving home today (on the typical drag racing road) I see this car in the rearview and this guy is just flying. He probably gained a mile on me in a minute or less....and I was already doing a few over the limit (pushing 60 in a 55). In preparation for what I hoped to be a decent race (yea, I'm the guy who prepares for this lol), I kicked it down into 3 (so I wasnt' beating on 4th right away but I did shift back to D later) and hit the trac button.
    So as this guy is getting closer I kick it up to 75 and for a few seconds I notice I'm pulling away from him. I hold 75 for a while then I see him jump in the left lane and now hes starting to gain on me again. I let him catch me and when we get even I get the glance I'm looking for......that was enough of a "lets race" for me.
    Pretty much from that point on I was pulling on him and by 90 I had what I'd guess to be a car length or two. After that I gave one tap of the brakes and let off the gas. He eventually passed me but we were still nose-tail at the next stop sign and I kept right with him when he went tearing away from the stop sign. Next light though he turned left and I continued on my way home.

    I know it's nothing fancy but a win is a win in my book.

    Doubt that..... 2.7 V6 puts out 200hp and 205 torque and weights 3200 in coupe form, is more of a fair race for a GT not a GTP.

    Its no big secret the chrysler 2.7 had major oiling issues. Never heard of the status RT using the 2.7 though. Just the 3.0l and I assume the newer is the 3.8

    Yep. Had a sebring with the 2.7 in it. Oil light started flickering on and off randomly. Googled it, found out about sludge issues, convinced parents to let me get a GP, and here we are lol

    not saying i doubt you but i dont understand what a motor itself has to do with sludge issues. i would think it would be the maintenance or oil type. i could be wrong though.

    Well for all inquiring minds it looked like one of these....
    Through a quick check on Wikipedia the body style narrows it down to '95-'00 but I have no idea of which exact year it was.
    I knew what it was the instant I saw it in the rearview....there are some cars you can't mistake and a Stratus is definitely one of those.
