Look Im DEFINITLY not saying srt4 arent fast and you DEFINITLY cant dismiss their HP #'s or track time
but the fact is , I WON. little is known about the srt i raced. seriously , how do u know it wasnt an 04' w/ a B.O.V? they run a 14.5(motor trend rating) in the 1/4 mile. factors , there are a lot of them

haha...the only time your car would turn my head would be when i was looking over my shoulder to see if you were still trying...

also, how did you notice a front mount intercooler while racing? do you know what an "interfooler" is? its a type of ricer intake that looks like an IC, but it is only a CAI...lots of ricers have them...especially the kind of ricer who would buy an NA srt4. also, 14.5 is a SEVERE under rating..kind of like their "215hp", although the typically dyno better than that, stock, at the wheels...i have found on a ford enthusiast site that has a 1/4 time list, that they have the 2003 srt4 at 14.1, and the 2004 is at 13.9...

and why did you go to the trouble to race what may, or may not have been an SRT4, when you could have run against a 98-99 Trans Am? scared of real competition?

PLEASE!!! my car is sickest looking of all the GT's -bullits ,spoiler, silver, hood scoop, black leather interior, 5spd (premium) ....Im only 20 ... wait until Im old like you and this beast is up over 500hp sittin on 18x10 w/ drag radials

hmmm how did i see his intercooler? maybe when I was breaking after beating him in 3rd and 4th , thats how. Stop saying it wasnt an SRT4 you're pissing me off. I know my limitations inregaurds to the Trans Am.
I recently lost 2 a red one last sunday. I need more work done to step to into their range.

Good kill......Mustang GT's have the advantage over the SRT-4 from a dig and I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS....

How is this so unbelievable? I dusted an '04 Cobra from a roll, and yes she was trying.

Oh god..... RideoftheMonth, you got him started on how amazing his car is despite the fact that it's relatively stock performance wise and style wise. Yeah didn't you know that his completely stock appearance is the coolest looking car ever even though it looks like ever other silver one that year. But since he's driving it, it is the best looking.

Wait wait, I'll save you the trouble HTV8, "well foxes are ungly, and yours in the ugliest" right? I know thanks.

Man I've seen SRT-4 numbers all over the place...Best i've seen was a 13.8 and the worst I've seen was a 14.9....People think an SRT-4 is so superior to the 99-04 GT's but their not....It's a drivers race with the advantage at the track going to a well driven GT....Torque win's the quarter. Not to mention SRT-4 are very hard to launch...03's have an open diff and the 04's have limited slip... Most of the 03's were known to run mid to low 14's and the 04's were high 13's low 14's

Yeah I've only seen one hit a 13.8 some 13.9's....Lots of low 14's.........Here in seattle they avoid Mustang owners because they know a stock Mustang GT is about as common as a Virgin in Seattle...LOL. Every GT owner i know here has atleast gears and some kind of exhaust work done.
