I still don't see how he handed everyone their ***. Maybe if he took his dick out of yours Nomo, there wouldn't be as much arguing here.

Awww isn't that sweet you resort to name calling when you have no valid points to state. Have you ever driven a SRT-4? A STi? A CRX with 500whp?I highly doubt it. You're a closed minded V-8 biggot. If you lose to a damn Moped you've lost. Face it. You're just like a ricer trying to pull every single excuse out of your *** if you lose. "Oh well it's still a 4 banger".

I never said I was impressed with the Cobra. Which is why I don't own one. I thought about it for about 10 minutes, then I decided I'd be much happier with a C6. Besides your point doesn't make any sense. The discussion was about a turbo 4 cyl that can run a 14.0. How great of a car the SRT-4 was. What does this have to do with a car that is running in the high 12's with a blower? The whole point is people are pointing out that a 4 cyl can be just as fast as a V8. Yes, with forced induction it can. Big deal. That being said, if it ran a 14.0 N/A, I would be impressed.
Were you just looking for an argument or did you have a point?

What I don't understand is why v8 guys HAVE to respect these cars? I don't see v8 guys demanding respect for their cars? All I hear about is how "played out" the v8 scene is. I mean hell, who wants to only spend $5-6k to make a car run 10's anymore, let's spend $15k and break the 11 second barrier. Wee!!

I've got friends with fast cars be it V-8 or 4 Cylinder. I've got a friend Rob with a CRX that runs 500whp@20lbs on c16 11.4@134mph. Notice the trap speed. Nomo and I have a friend Steve who with a Mystic Cobra and 589rwhp ran a 10.60@132.5 and in the 1/8th ran a 6.85@105+ before he turned it up to 638rwhp with full interior etc. Another friend Jeff who in a 240SX @20psi and on race gas while he still could turn up the boost ran a 7.3 in the 1/8th. Nomo's Cobra was capable of 11.5s (Traction owned you biotch).
The fact is I respect each and every one of those cars equally. If you lost to any of those but the Mystic you guys would come here making excuses or whatever you could. So how many of you actually here could beat those cars I listed? I rest my case.

i highly doubt 3k....my friend runs 12s with a boost controller, intake, and cat back

for about 3k in mods w/ slicks u can get the srt-4 into the 11's ..stick a bigger turbo on the srt..and well u kno the rest
ORIGINAL: UT04GT
if a srt-4 was close to a cobra and the cobra was a 03/04 model, that had to be the worst driver in the world in the cobra. The GT I can see. Put a turbo on the GT then compare

No....it takes about $7k to firmly put that car in the 11's....but who cares?
It's a turbo Dodge....did anyone not expect it to be fast?

Probably only a few people on this board could hang with those cars. I really don't have a problem with srt-4's. Around here the import/sport compact guys don't really mix with the domestic guys, and I have not had any srt's try to mess me in either one of my cars, infact the only guy who has ever tried anything with the Nova was in a stock mach one, I blew his *** back and he was a dick about it (did the ricer fly by).

RE: Them damn Turbos!
why DOES everybody get so uptight about SRT-4's ?? theyre quick cars. theyre turbo, theyre dodge. enuff said. look at the turbo Daytona's, and Shelby Chargers. both of 'em were VERY QUICK. but, either way, i LOVE my V8 and i wouldnt get rid of it for a 4-cyl. have both sittin in the driveway, sure, but the 4-cyl wouldnt be stock.........whether it be turbo'd or n/a, it would be quick. engine transplant, forced induction, however it need be. SRT-4's are quick. but, FAST like a built V8, NO. ill give props to them though.....i think theyre running mid-high 8's in the quarter(NIRA and NHRA Sport Compact classes). but, still, you cant top the power of built american muscle !! ive NEVER seen ANY kind of import motor pushing 7k hp(NHRA top fuel and funny car)

RE: Them damn Turbos!
So which names did I call you? Please. I think you should report it to Admin since I'm such a terrible moderator. (This again?) You and Digital really need to come up with something better then that. You didn't prove your point Digital. There was no point. You were just looking for an argument. As usual. And how did I get butthurt? A couple of 19 year olds on the internet are some huge threat to me...Oh no...
Just for old times sake...Give me a "I can't believe you're a mod." Come on guys...I love it when you say that. Especially since Nomo begged to be one.
