Default Two Kills tonight

Tonight on the way home I ran into a SRT 4 and an Audi A4. here are the races:

SRT4: I ran into him on the highway going 60mph, we hit it. He only pulled on me by a car and then we stopped. We then hit a red light and we hit it....This SRT4 sounded bad ***....Even for a 4 banger it sounded good. And to top it off he purged his Nitrous kit!!!! Well the light is red and I start to stage my car, he hits it...I hit first spinning like crazy and hook going into second, when I hit 3rd gear I was about 2 cars ahead of him, at that time we were doing about 85 mph on post!!!!! So I called it quits and so did he!!!! It was a great race and i'm impressed with the SRT4 from a roll. From a dig they are beatable!!!

Audi A4: I pull up to another stop light and the guy looks over and says you ready??? I say sure. I thought he was kidding around!!!! So I just 1/4 throttle it and I still pulled about 4 cars on him spinning into second!!!!

By the way, my car is an automatic.........Yes I manual shift it when I race. These are my kills tonight......

Good kills....those Audi's are a joke, but watch out for the A8 Audi's!!! They are 300hp cars. At least someone else on here see's that the srt4's arent joke from a roll. He probably had an intercooler chiller kit with the purge, i havent herd of anyone spraying them. If you come across one that says he's got stage 3 mopar....laugh b/c they are still not that quick.

BS They might make 350hp with stage 3. It doesnt do much, we've had several (15 or so) with stage 2 and 3 and they were barley making 320's!

Our shop regularly holds Dyno days for EastCoastBoost...which is about 90% srt4's and the ones putting out the most power 390-430FWHP have the Turbonetic's upgrade kit. Larger intercooler/fuel pump/50-trim turbo/boost controller/BOV/S-AFC II controller. Show me one SRT4 with a Mopar stage 3 setup making 600hp....good luck since there arent any!

Nice runs!

Your totally right about the SRT4's being pretty fast from a roll....I got spanked by a few of them when I had my GT....but I also had a heavy azz vert. I also was spanked once pretty bad by an Audi A8.....pretty damn fast cars.

Greg, it was probably an intercooler chiller kit. They might gain 15-20hp off of it. I'm 99% sure thats all it was, since i havent herd of or seen any of the srt4's juicing their cars besides intercoolers.

oh... well in that case...

I'm sure a newer mustang can beat them suckers(w/out nitrous)... especially a stang w/ gears...

I ran 1... stock gearing... and I pulled a car off the line then he walked me...

Greg, a '05+ should be able to beat one from a roll, depending on the driver. Power to weight, the neon has the mustang but not by much they are about the same WHP rating (260). Now a mustang with gear and a good driver shouldnt have a problem. Dead stop....the mustang should jump out the hole really quick, but if the driver of the neon is good he will catch up. You do have to watch them close and look at the tires....some of those guys are smart and put a BFG dr on there. If they have done that...have fun with 'em lol. Another way to tell if they have upgrades is the intercooler.....if it's a nice large polished one...then they have upgrades and are probably making over 300whp since the OEM tiny intercooler is good for upto 300hp. Those guys are the ones you dont wanna mess with from a roll, only dead stop and hope they are on a crappy tire and cant drive good.

Dont get too confident over those srt-4s. Ive got my *** handed to me by some of them at the track. I can usually get em off the line but some of them run me down without any problems and pass me doing 20 mph faster. and yeah, i run 13.50s.

At the track I beat alot of SRT4s. If people don't know how to drive a FWD car then you can beat them easy. I have beat alot of cars with more HP/TQ then I have. Its how you drive at the track. You can have 800hp but if you don't know how to drive then your not going to go anywhere with it. I make alot of drivers: bow before me!!!!!!!!!! I'm a fairly good driver....I also race my 10R........Now I find it really funny when a car pulls up next to me when i'm on my bike, because no matter what kind of car they have they think they can beat me now that is some funny ****. I'll hit around 100mph before they even think about reaching 60mph......
