And one more thing, I never stated that there aren't any fast 4 cylinders out there. You can make anything fast, but in most cases with a 4 banger its going to cost twice as much to go the same power level as a v-8 muscle car which is a much more suitable platform for mods. Dont act like I hate non v8's, I happen to like late model Supras and would love to own one. But SRT-4's are pathetic and don't deserve to be metioned on this site!

 

You still didn't answer my question. How fast is it? (Not how fast will it be - that **** gets old)

 

They are every bit as fast as any stock LT1 - so does that make LT1's pathetic and undeserving as well?

 

My car ran a 12.6 @ 116 in Seattle wash. Oh you don't want to hear how fast it's gonna be Alot faster than your rustang, that's for sure. And just FYI I was not comparing these vehicles stock to stock, seeing that the two vehicles in question ARE modified I have some advice, why don't you sell your Mustang and buy a REAL car. According to you an SRT-4 would be perfect. On second thought the guy in the TA should't risk the speeding ticket to put this turd in it's rightful place.

 

oh my mistake, you can keep the mustang, you already own one of those CUTE SRT-4's. Any capable F-body you encounter in that turbo commuter is going to look over and do one thing when you try to run,LAUGH! There is one important thing you have overlooked, this is a MUSCLECAR site, and last time I checked, SRT-4's aren't MUSCLECARS. Enough said!

 

1. F-bodies aren't muscle cars either.
2. My "Rustang" is significantly faster than your f-body, and no I don't give a **** how fast it "will be" (I've seen a lot of cars that "will be" fast some day)
3. My SRT-4 is my beater. What's yours?
4. You drive an F-body, not a Ferrari. Get over yourself.

 

Alright guys, lets keep the thread on topic huh? The post wasnt started to see whether or not Jim's mustang was faster than the other guys turbo Camaro. And as far as whether or not NON Fbody posts/posters should post in here.....you better get used to it or find another message board because there is a LARGE variety of posters here. If theyre not trolling or being hostile it is of no threat to you.

ONLY 9's...ahh im not a big turbo fan but for over 1000+ H.P......thats kinda slow dont ya think

 

I put a stage 1 in his place about a month ago! He was following me on a two lane road thats straight forever! He kept getting right on my *** getting his rpm's up and letting off so i could hear his BOV there was traffic in front of us so i simply slowed down knowing a long straight shot was coming up! I motioned out the t-top that i wanted to run and got a thumbs up from him! From about 20-25 we went up to about 80 and he was GONE!!!! Im talking like 8-9+ cars back GONE! Did that twice, and then he was motioning for me to pull over! Stopped at a gas station, he was nothing but compliments to my car! Said his was stage1 and he had a cutout! He was cool, not a typical ricer! But in comparison i think an LT1 with your mods shouldnt have much to worry about!

 

106.2 and 1.99 60ft. I was quite suprised myself the first time i ran her. I was expecting mid-High 13's. She dyno'd 301 bone stock.

I'm going with SDPC's 402 LS2 stroker. The Kenne bell kit i had my eyes on has been delayed another 3 months.

 

Can't wait to hear about after you get the LS2 stroker in.

 

Well this is interesting.. a stage 1 srt 4 can't touch a z06..a stage 3 would come closer and would need race gas likely to give it a good run and talking stock z06. z06 are 385 to 405 hp and very light. Not sure how light srt4 are but not much lighter than a z06.

And I have to call bs what stock turbo srt4 can make 400whp? It would take all they have to put out 400 engine. With a turbo swap easy but on stock turbo 400whp highly doubt it..show me proof. And I have surfed some of the main srt boards and some of the timeslips are ridiculous and anybody can get
a timeslip off the ground. And lots of the other claims on that board are pure fantasy.

I know they are not slow and with a few mods can run good not arguing that . I test drove one and there are ok. They should have had awd option to really make them street terrors. FWD turbos are next to useless off the line on street tires..no way they hook. Drag tires another story. They do fine on the track. I have only seen 1 srt 4 run at local track.It was on stock tires and was running super slow think it was 16s maybe high 15s but again I blame the street tires or driver not the car.

And of course not very many import 4 bangers can compete with a turbo v8 or v10 or v12. Displacement will still win normally if both are turboed but of course need lots of engine work to optimize lt1 for example for turbo..forged pistons,rods,etc.

Some of these import 4 bangers can take a lot of power. My talons can take a lot of power even in stock form and 400whp is possible but not with no stock size turbo. Aftermarket turbos are cheap and easy to install but you need support mods ,bigger front mounts,bigger injectors,bigger fuel pumps,good tuning,etc .etc.

Anyway the lt1 would destroy the srt 4 on nittos ,the srt 4 would hop and spin or both. The one i drove had wicked wheelhop and needed some suspension tricks. From a roll yeah would be close .Should make a good race. But z06 please no stock turbo srt4 without nitrous is touching a z06.But should rephrase that. Its possible for the srt 4 to beat the z06 on the highway if the z06 STAYS IN SIXTH !!! Not everyone is a good driver or knows to downshift. Something that is also critical in turbo cars.

But make no mistake v8 guys especially you close to stock ones. An aftermarket turboed 4 banger can put out 500 even 600 engine hp. Not saying the driveline will hold that without modification either but then our rear ends and auto trannies in the lt1 aren't exactly up to the task of big power either.

 

FYI an f-body is considered a muscle car and a rustang is as well. First of all any car can be fast. Now for srt-4 u prob can beat it depending on your driving and mods.

 

Wrong. Neither F-bodies or Mustangs are muscle cars. They are pony cars. Always have been; always will be.

 

Nope, not even close. A Z06 would have no trouble with a Stage 1 SRT-4.

It'd come closer, but still lose if that's all that's done to it.

Mine weighed in at 2850. A little lighter, but not night/day.

Don't be so quick to doubt without doing your homework. This guy made over 430 to the wheels on a stock turbo.

That is the equivalent of seeing a Z06 running 14s. Sure it's possible, but only with a complete ******** behind the wheel.
