lined up with a blue srt-4 last night.

As the light turned green, we both ease out of gear. Like a bat out of hell, he punches it. Now we are both in first gear going about 10-15 mph. He instantly gets a car length on me. I punch it and he went nowhere. I started gaining on him. I only got to get to middle of 3rd gear. (it was a merging lang)

im a completely stock LT1 m6, and i have no idea what he had.

should i have killed him, or did i fair good?

 

if he was stock you should have edged him out. with some work they can cause lt/ls1 drivers some bruised egos

 

I raced a buddy of mine (Anthony w/grey SRT-4) from a 30-35mph roll... he had cold air & exhaust.... it was dead even until about 110mph... absolutely silly.... I couldnt believe it. Its the only 4 banger im afraid of...

with my new 3500 torque converter... it should be a little better.. but .. geez.

PS: I have a serious stereo system... 2 type R 10's... Soundstream Amp(Tarantula) 125x4 + 2 MTX mono-block amps for the type R's (800.1's)...thats about 150lbs of stereo at least... (.1 - .2 tenths)

 

Hah, that sounds about right. Last summer me and my buddy were cruseing around when an SRT-4 pulled up to us. I never really knew anything about them, but the guy asked us to race him. So we went to a straight no traffic area and he beat me by about a car and a half. So that winter i took out a $5,000 loan and did all the mods in my sig. Thinking the whole time i did all the work that i will never let a neon beat me again. Needless to say i pulled up to the same guy about a week ago with 2 friends in the car. Im like "I raced you before" and his reply is "Yeah? And i bet you lost to!" So we both get a light and im thinking the whole time how this bastard is going to see nothing but my *** end. After spinning through first and him haveing about 2 cars on me i passed him and didnt even need to shift out of second. Boy was he pissed. Sorry for the rant, i just hate thoes damn things.

 

You and me both, sigh, you and me both.

Good loss and for SSmoked, good kill.

stock both cars run similar...drivers race

 

You had the mods in your sig and still couldn't pull him??

 

That is what I thought, only CAI and exhaust, and he was running with a LT1 with LT4 heads,intake, and hot cam?

 

I EASILY pull on my buddies 2004 SRT-4 from all speeds, any gear, even giving him a nice 1-car jump. They're quick cars, but if you have boltons and a Hotcam, much less LT-4 heads, you should be freight-training that guy.

 

Better get another 5 grand loan if ya think a srt wont beat ya w/ what ya got....they dont need much to get in the high 12's

 

I ran a stock one and had im by a few cars on the 1st race and the 2ed I gave him a car and still had him by 2 cars easy.I run 13.5's and he was stock.With good drivers they can dip in the mid 13's pertty easy

 

I actually planned on doing that this winter. In that video i posted up a while ago of that red SRT-4 beating me on the bottle but me beating him without it, thats the fastest one ive raced. He had around $5k in his car too.

 

yeah, i also have a stereo system in mine. i got a single 2005 kicker cvr10 sealed. this is the quickest car thats i've race so far. i still want to get my hands on a sti. i need to start putting some boltons. whats the best first mod (fairly cheap). i'm thinking a cold air intake system. whatcha think?

 

For some reason, all the ricers who have recently installed turbos or a new cam come ask ME to race them. I guarantee them it won't be close and 99% of the time I get "you'll be surprised" and a cocky smile and friends making jokes about domestic cars being slow. Then I proceed to put an 1/8 mile distance between us, and IF they come back to chat, I ask them if they're surprised.

by the way-- 4cyl cars with cams sound absolutely ridiculous.

 

Nice
