Owned By An SRT-4

jeredan2003 · 10-09-2005, 11:45 AM

Theres a guy I met this weekend that has a black SRT-4 Stage 3 with an AGP Turbo upgrade making 22psi. It supposedly runs low 11's. We were on the interstate and we lined up. 70 roll. I was waiting for a honk or some kind of sound to start from but he did nothing. The only sound I heard was the turbo spooling up and by the time I heard that he was flying, I then took off when he was already 2 cars ahead. Even after I was WOT he was gaining ground on me. Had to get off of it cause there was a turn up soon. Even if we had a decent start he would have taken me. He has a methanol boost cooler but he wasnt using it.

Earlier that day I witnessed that same SRT-4 run door to door with a 03 Cobra that was spraying a 75 shot and had a ported blower with a small pulley and full exhaust.

It was a BAD Neon. Huge Intercooler.

That's sick.....i hate to see it happen but you gotta give props to some of those four bangers..

BTW i like the kills list dude

Grimmz · 10-09-2005, 05:10 PM

eek, but you should have known better then to start at 70mph, at that speed the guy's turbo is already spooling... you lost your advantage...but oh well that sux, welcome to my world, I got my doors blown off by a Civic hatchback today on my way home from Pompano, the guy hit 3rd gear all i hear is the swish of the turbo and see him fly by, i was in 5th only doin 75 but he moved quicker then i thought...

as far as givin props, every now and again maybe a high priced import WRX, Evo, but hondas F' NO it comes down to money, sure if i threw away 5.5 Grand on a turbo kit with a milion bolt ons i could be quicker then a GT...then again i spent 5.5 grand...

MattJ · 10-09-2005, 06:00 PM

Off the line you would hand him his ass. He can get into boost and eat you alive from a roll.

m0nkeh · 10-09-2005, 06:49 PM

so like, is someone better off getting a 4banger moddin it, or getting a v6 or gt stang and moddin, i mean if these 4's r winning and they r cheaper...then? (just like my friend sayn he will kick my a$$ with a civic with a muffler and integra engine, and ive heard from people that he'd win...

)

White04GT · 10-09-2005, 07:14 PM

I raced a integra the other day that had intake, and full exhaust from a 20 roll and raped him by about 5-6 car lengths and then let off..of course I have a 04 GT, but only have CAI..I think you would lose since you have a stock 98 v6.

m0nkeh · 10-09-2005, 07:19 PM

imma go cry now, but yea, its true, my cars SLOW, all imma do is get CAI - maybe gears or tuner - rims - springs ... then a stereo, then my next car a yr down the line, will get GT, move rims to that and move stereo to that...lol and THEN mod and race around...but for now, i can handle my OTHER friends 97 sentra...lol

*Lances03SVT* · 10-09-2005, 07:20 PM

Raced one not too long ago and had him by at least 5 car lenghts off the line.Then I eased up a bit and he blew by me.Lesson don't let up till your at least 8 lenghts ahead.On a roll yea your at a big disadvantage unless you got some juice.

Yea I agree. He even told me that he was "scared to go from a dig". I like having a good 1/8th mile car, but I need a turbo or a blower soon so I can take care of these 4 bangers around here at speed.

22lbs PSI in a 4banger?
Anyone want to start a pool on his odometer when his engine craps out?
i got 20 bucks on 25k.

Dont know if the engine was built or not. I read up about that turbo kit at AGPTurbo.com and I think it pretty much has to be forged at that boost and with such a large turbo. I say he had $7 Grand in the motor.

i love soccermoms · 10-10-2005, 06:05 PM

yeah, i was doin about 50 in 5th, dropped down to 4th, and got killed by a slightly moddified srt-4. if i had gone to 3rd, or even slowed to 40-45 and put it in 2nd, i woulda walked him =D oh well, i didnt and i lost, no biggie.

*4.6 Love* · 10-10-2005, 08:21 PM

Those cars look like ass....

MattJ · 10-10-2005, 08:51 PM

Ive driven 13s srt4s and raced against 11-12-13 sec srt4s at the track. ill give you an example of one I raced that was a 12 second neon on slicks. Look at the first half of the runs. Its MURDER. They are all high end boost cars.

me:
rt- .146
60- 2.044
330-5.734
1/8-8.766
miles per hour-81.47
1000-11.377
1/4-13.567
miles per hour-104.60

neon srt4 (slicks, rollcage, full interior ect...)
rt-.944
60-2.316
330-6.010
1/8-8.612
miles per hour-21.86
1000-10.799
1/4-12.579
miles per hour-128.33

jeredan2003 · 10-11-2005, 07:07 AM

Yea I know I see them at the track all the time. When your watching them race its hard to tell what they will run. It might look like they have a slow start to a 14 second pass then you look at the ET lights and he just ran like a low 12.

ih8chevy · 11-04-2005, 12:26 AM

Why would any one want to mod a neon. Come on a neon? Rice burners and these guys who think their neons are bad piss me off. Go out and buy a real car. Thats why i supercharged my stang. Rolling start at 70.. go ahead ill give em a head start.

My thoughts exactly. Do you know what 22 psi will do on a Mustang? Can you say TONS of hp?

Cuz it is not all about speed unless you are building a car solely for racing.

I will give you an analogy.

Let's say you had the option between marrying two girls. One is completely un-attractive and embarrasing to go out in public with. But, she is a monster in bed.

The other is a hot babe who everyone notices, and still is a bit fun in the sack but not like the first one.

The Mustang is the one second girl, the SRT-4 is the first one....sort of. Which kind of guy are you?

ih8chevy · 11-04-2005, 12:38 AM

LOL thats awesome, i just cant stand those damn things. Mines the cute girl whos a whore in bed too!

So after all is said and done. Base car SRT 4 is about 22,000, plus 7 grand in mods now you are at 29K plus, hell, you could buy a GT for less get better reliability and last alot longer.
At 22 psi of boost, you're probably seeing 25 mpg or less. I just don't see the advantage.

So you're saying that the Neon is an ugly high maintenance girl who will blow your mind if you work on her everyday and buy her sh!t that will keep her happy and running. Mustang is the drop dead beauty who will still blow your mind but not as often even if you only go out and turn the key and start her every morning with only an oil change and fuel. She can still run and beat the other girls, more guys like her and she's always a hit? I'll take the Mustang and you can have the sloppy seconds of the girl who's bottom end just blew her sh!t all over the track from the pressures of trying to keep up with the pretty girl.

ih8chevy · 11-04-2005, 11:02 AM

LOL, thats funny, i do not drive my car every day so i do mods that arent normal for evryday use some may think. Gas i cold care less about considering how i do not drive the stang to often. How many of ya use it "a sunday car" and who drives all over!
