Default Does this sound right?

I was just watching a vid on youtube, it was a 04 GT with intake/exhaust and a 50 shot vs. a stock srt-4. They were like dead even and by the end the gt beat it by like a front fender which isnt much considering the spray. Are those little skittles that fast? Sory for the srt thread btw i know many of you maybe getting sick of them but honestly i ask because instead of supercharging my 02 GT i am considering keeping it as is and getting an srt-4.

Thanks,

I think the GT with the 50 shot should have been able to pull a few cars (At least) on the SRT4. Sounds to me like the GT driver was out-drove. Either that, or the skittle wasn't stock.

I beat slightly modded SRT-4's when stock by about 2 cars.
The guy thought I was an insanely good driver...I thought I sucked.
he even did a burnout before we raced (was on the highway from dig)

A skittle will beat a stock GT anyday of the week. Unless of course he misses 2nd and 3rd gear.

ps. I hate skittles, but its facts

Was the vid from a 40 roll or a dig? If it was the former, I could definately see it, but I'd say either way the GT got outdrove.

Im kinda new to the drag racing scene. Does a dig mean like a stand still?

Yep, sounds like the skittle wasn't stock or the guy couldn't get the stang under control.

Although I'd be interested to see what it takes from a skittle to run heads up with a GT w/spray [50 shot]
