Not much of a kill then.

After I floored it out of the CVS parking lot, he made an effort to catch back up with me. So, why didn't he race me at the light? And why wouldn't he catch back up with me after the light?

Maybe didn't feel like racing. Maybe he didn't 'catch' up. He could jsut be a fast driver. I know I am.

I haven't been beat by a ricer yet in that durango. Now, take into consideration that...
Torque braking + AWD + 355 ft/lb of torque = MADD LAUNCHING POWAZZ!

Well you said it. Ricer doesn't equal racer. There aren't many fast ricers.

And, since I usually only drive it around town all the races I've experience are short runs up to about 50 mph. I have a feeling that anything past that I would be toast vs a VTEC engine. I wanted to race that guy cause I figured he COULD beat me, unless he really screwed up his launch.

It may be an R/T, but its still alot heavier. Granted 355 ft/lb of torque is good. If anything you would pull ahead on the start, but probably still fall behind in the end. You may have 4WD, but that does also take more power to move.
This isn't directed just at you, but VTEC is not some almighty power. I mean damn it helps, but its not some instant can of whoop ass that makes some enormous power. Argh. I need to go vent somewhere.:o
