Who will win?? 01' Cobra vs 05 Dodge Neon SRT-4....
 

There is this guy thats talkin smack about my friends cobra. He has a neon srt-4 and my friend has an 01' cobra. Both cars are stock and the cobra does NOT have the supercharger.. I was just wandering what you guys might know about a race like that? I dont know very much about the neon srt-4s....

Let me know with some thoughts and info.....Thanks!

cobra there is no questions assuming he can drive its a low 13 sec on street tires stock. neons are low 14sec cars stock.

stock SRT-4 without the stage upgrades will have a pretty tough time beating a stock GT.

Cobra would walk it easily.

i got beta by an srt-4...he was def modde tho

cobra will walk over that neon.

thanks for the tips guys ..... i appreciate it!!:beerchug:

an srt-4 with stage 3 upgrades is pretty sick tho, but since its stock them im goin witht he cobra, if the srt4 had a stage 3 and the cobra was supercharged then ill still go witht he cobra

you guys are seriously underestimating srt-4's with upgraded crap..and one day your gonna pull up to one, bet money...then lose

were talking about stock cars though, there isnt anything to argue over.

Yeah stock for stock it is about as cut and dry as you can get.

Stock n/a Cobra all day long!

There is a problem though and you have to consider the different power plants in the car. From a highway speed roll, the Cobra is going to have a tougher time.

If I am not misstaken, the Neon traps at a higher speed then the Cobra in question eventhough the Cobra has the quick ET if you are looking at 1/4 mile times. BUT, run from a roll and there may be a range where the SRT is quicker.

Stock for stock the cobra will win. If the srt has a boost controller you dont know about....your screwed! also make sure you run it from a stop and not roll otherwise it's the neons race!

If I can jump to a 5 car lead from a dig on one a Cobra should slay it.They don't impress me at all.

lance, from a stop yea you should jump away from it but what i was saying is make sure the race is dead stop and not a roll. Most turbo cars suck from a dig but get up and go on a roll where they are already boosting.

I dont know about this one...IF the srt is completely stock, the cobra will own. But if theat skittle has a boost controller on it, which is very easy to hide, the neon should have a good chance. Make sure you take a look under his hood to make sure its stock. There are stock turbo srt-4s running low 12 sec 1/4 miles. Not to mention that skittles are monsters from a roll. If he has an upgraded turbo, you will get murdered bad. I know a guy with a 400+whp srt-4 that I watched beat a ported eaton cobra.

I've beaten many "STOCK" SRT-4's at the track, before I had my 4:10's and after them I beat him by about 6 cars... They are hard to drive because they are FWD and they don't get traction with Street Tires.....

9 out of 10 FWD turbo cars suck from a dig, unless they are on a drag tire.

Thanks so much guys... I'll let ya'll know if they race (and the results!!)

I raced another one from a 20 mph roll and pulled hard away from him but it was'nt stock.He was catching me by 4th gear when I let off.Then he did the Ricer fly bye.I caught up with him a little later and told him that his car was pretty quick for a Neon :)

Most of them just put a cone filter on and a different bypass valve and they sound nasty...but they really arent. We did a Dyno day with nothing but srt4's and stock ones were only at 240ish whp. Now we did have a couple that were heavily modded they were 390whp with Mopar stage 3 upgrades!! One was a complete sleeper besides a bigger front-mount and it peaked 412whp. You cant under estimate them at all.

yea and a 400whp car thats only what, 2500lbs? If thats right then it should stay with a 500whp car thats 3600lbs.

yea i think they are close to 3k lbs. Still that 400hp neon i watched beat a mach1 with full exhaust, k&n intake, and a tune on a 175shot! they went from a 2nd gear roll to benefit the neon since the mach1 was on a drag tire vs. him on a falken tire.

Damn!!!:surrender 175 shot on a MACH1 and still lost too the neon!!

so did they run'em?
Stock is such a relative term too. Heck I know a bunch of streetracers who's cars launch on the bumper on the streets and they're cars are "stock".
Run it and see, never underestimate your enemy.
