Good kill. He was probably pretty surprised.




Good luck with the L.C. BTW! LOL

SRT4 aint **** in lower altitude areas. They have such a huge advantage in high altitudes with the FI. I guess thats how the rumors got started that they are FAST. I beat one in the 60 foot in my 97 GT AUTO and then kept even half way down the track and he had about a car and a half on me at the end. racing from a roll is a joke and not even a race in my book and thats the only way the srt4 drivers want to run. Ive always hated those cars , they need a freaking turbo to keep up with the v8s.

So you need to be in a low altitude to keep up with an SRT-4? I can just see it,"Ifit was at 0ft above sea level I would have raped you!" haa! You beat a FWD car in the 60 foot, and he overtook you in the end, and your calling him slow? If you don't want to race from a roll, then don't, but don't think that roll racing is just for FWD vehicles. I've had a few friends of mine in EVOs and WRXs complain about guys in mustangs and other RWD cars wanting to go from a roll with them. If you have a fast car, it shouldn't matter weather you go from a dig or a roll. Just because you can get a killer launch doesn't nessisarily mean your car is fast. Take this video for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm9DRnIVE_g

The WRX won, but if they had gone another 10 ft the supra would have won. Now who has the faster car? The WRX because it won the 1/4, or the supra because it would have destroyed the wrx had they been going any farther?
i addressed this in the other thread, in my opinion the faster car is the one with higher traps rather than the one that crossed the line first!!!! Many people differ but hey u right 10ft later that supra was gonna pass him like he was standing still

The faster car has a higher trap speed. What's so hard to understand.

I raced a stock SRT4 and he beat me in the 1/4 due to more traction and a better launch.

His time: 14.2@98mph

My time (Running 17psi,before tuning and 3" exhaust): 14.8@101

Guess what, my car is faster. Traction being equal, I'd have smoked him.

wow that was the biggest tool statment that i've ever heard. Sounds to me like a SRT-4 stuck his hot tail pipe in your ***. Oh and to the OP nice kill rolls are where the SRT-4 shines so at least you know you beat him at his best.

Going along that same idea a car with a higher overall top speed, say 145mph vs 138mph will eventually win, even if it takesa couplemiles!

Whatever the race their needs to be a predetermined speed or distance.

I agree and the 1/4 mile seams to be just about a perfect distance!
