GT with mods vs. SRT-4 with mods
Hey guys... I currently have a stripped 2001 GT with long tube headers, x-pipe with no cats or mufflers, tuned with a predator, UD pulleys, and am installing my 3.73's as we speak. I just got the Ford Racing carbon trac-lock rebuild kit. My current best before gears is a 13.5. My question is... Will I be able to take care of a SRT-4 with supposedly $1k of engine mods (intercooler, AGP wastegate actuator, intake, exhaust, suspension)? He claims a 13.3 with a 1.9 60-foot on street tires. Hard to believe... I think with my fresh locker and gears, I'd be able to kill him on a launch when he's relying on FWD powertrain and street tires. The race is worth $100... Should I embarrass him?

Ehhh...I'd say it might be a decent race from a dig, but from a roll it could get ugly. I wouldn't bet more than I'd be willing to lose though...its definitely not a sure thing.

RE: GT with mods vs. SRT-4 with mods
It's gonna be from a dig. I'm heavily doubting his "godlike" launch. He happens to be one of those UTI kids that talks a lot of smack. I already took out his buddy who has an integra that supposedly beats on Mustangs all day. From a roll also. For the record, I go to UTI also, but I don't talk crap like these kids do.

Just on my personal experience, I beat a heavily modded SRT-4 with my STOCK Bullitt...... maybe the guy couldn't drive, but I beat him twice. Good Luck and think about what you are going to get with your 100 bucks....

The guy couldnt drive for nothing in your case. A stock SRT-4 and a stock 99-04 GT are neck in neck in a race. Now I'm not sure whatyou mean by heavily modded, butI'm sure either way it goes a lightly modded SRT-4 with a decent driver good beat yourcar. The guy you raced shifted from 1st to 4th, then to 5th after 1 second.

RE: GT with mods vs. SRT-4 with mods
I don't think you can beat an srt-4 . When my GT was N/A I only got beat twice by an srt-4 with heavy mods and an srt-4 stage 2 stock . I had 3.73's , mac cai , crane cams hr-228/5502s-12 , underdrive pullies , bbk 75mm tb and c&l plenum , flowtech off road h pipe , diablochip , 2100 stall ,and flowmasters . Look alot of people claim they can beat an srt but I think they're just talkin' smack . I can blow one away now thanks to vortech .I hate srt's but forced induction is hard to beat so I wouldn't bet .
