Coming home from work and i spot an SRT-4 in the rear veiw so i slow down, he pulls along side and he say's his cars only mod is cat deletes so we catch a light which should've been a good thing for me but i didn't hook up well on the launch and he got me by a carin 1stand kept the lead to around 70mph. Then we go from a 30-40ish roll and he pulled about a car on me to around 80mph. I'm just a little pissed that i did'nt do better from a dig, not taking anything away from his car cause i really like SRT-4's but i shoul've got the dig run.....oh well.

 

if youre only running 14.2, youd have to catch a pretty green srt4 owner to have a good chance...

 

A 14.2 should be enough to beat a basicly stock SRT-4 on street tires from a dig, i know there quick and will beat me 9/10 from a roll from a dig it shoul've been different, i just need to work on the driving...

 

+1, on launching and you'll take him. Get the gears and you'll own him.

 

1 car isn't too bad a loss at all. Next time do better at the launch and you'll have him(aka tie lol)

 

against the average little girl who drives an srt4, youre 100% right...a 14.2 will be hard to beat by a stock srt4, but ive known several guys with stage 0 (stock) srt4s who got into the 13.79-13.82 range...but these were experienced drivers.

 

The sad thing is that they run the same once they start upgrading, only they trap higher.

 

And I thought that the 2 stockers that I saw go 13.9 was enough to have some people call me crazy. A 13.8 *which both of those times essentially are man.. lol* is awfully awfully rare from a SRT-4.

I see no reason why a 14.2 isn't enough to get some SRT-4's, especially racing them from a dig on teh street. FWD will perform even worse on the street than they will at the track, which in turn should give the Stang owner a better shot at getting a small lead, and managing to keep it for another 1300 feet.

I've lost to a bone stock one when we both went 14.1's, and I've been beat by one that went 13.5@109. They aren't to be taken lightly, but with a good driver, they arent unbeatable stock vs stock.

 

i dont know...ive seen a few stage 1 srt4s in the high 12s...and if being here has taught us anything, it is that if one unit of a certain car runs something, they must ALL run the same times...

 

No, thats just the LS1 going 12's, the Terminators going 12.6's, and S197's going 13.3's..

everything else is subject to the driver mod.
