) whichever you can hit at that speed with 3.42's. We did a few runs like that, but finally quit because it was obvious my car out-ran his no problem. That was with 4.10's.At the moment I actually have the 2.73's in my car, but the 4.10's are going back in before next spring!
(long story, don't ask) but anyway, when I raced the SRT-4 on the highway, that was with the 2.73's. The only thing stopping us from racing beyond what we did was traffic
. I'm confident my car could beat that guy, but in the short time we had to play around, neither one of us was losing the other ... but again, I had 2 passengers in my car
(extra weight, you know!
)

How does it feel to know that your car in stock form and an 05 w/ a 5speed was killed by a 12 year old LT1 w/ 100k and minor mods? That must be a sucky feeling goes to show how far ahead chevy was for so long.
EDIT: Oh yea the srt4 also had drag radials on and it still got beat. I have stock eagle tires.

Re: Killed an SRT4 Nearly lost to Stealth RTTT
it feels like the srt4 was mis represented... i have personally beaten z28s, honestly its a drivers race.. but i have beaten them they beat me off the line but i reel them in during 3rd like you said...
no replacement for displacement is absolutely correct but. But there is also no replacement for the looks on big bad v8 owners faces when my "lil Gay neon" makes them look silly.... its all prefrence buddy dont get all butt hurt.

Re: Killed an SRT4 Nearly lost to Stealth RTTT
and it says half the cylinders which was supposed to be a direct comment about the displacement but i guess im not cool enough for that to mean anything huh?? im just an ignorant ricer in your mind.
Re: Killed an SRT4 Nearly lost to Stealth RTTT
Well you might have half the cylinders of an 8, but still, you have a turbo. Still, those srt-4's are neat little cars and were made for the same reason as our LT1's: go fast for not that much money. I just find that most srt-4 owners are jerks because they're normally teenagers who had their parents buy them the car and they think that they're the fastest thing on the road.
Re: Killed an SRT4 Nearly lost to Stealth RTTT
he nailed it. I hate it when parents buy their kids cars. The kid I raced was my age (18) and he had an 05 obviously his parents bought it for him. Felt good to take it down tho I had everything against me. A4 vs. m5, 1 person&subbox in my car vs. just him, he had drag radials vs. my stock tires. He could drive it pretty good too the thing rocketed throught 2nd & 3rd he said he ran 14.2's at the track which sounds normal. HIs car probably costs like 7 times the amount of mine hehe, but it was stock so for 800 bucks those things can run 12s.
