RE: srt4
they are a harsh car like the PT cruiser GT. torque steer is tremendous. but they can run hard. they are lighter than the stang.
my procharged 98 runs stock srt4's by a couple of cars. they are about equal to a stock 99+ GT which i put away also even bolt on GT's for the most part don't pull me at all and i only put down 230rwhp/270ftlbs. an 05+ 4.0 would need to have 250rwhp 300ftlbs to equal what i run given the same gearing because they are heavier.
as a comparasion an 05+ 4.0 tried me the other day and it wasn't pretty for him. i had about 8 cars on him by 80mph. it was stock but it shows that even a full bolt on 4.0 ( add 20hp tops) will not fair much better.
as others have said traction is the SRT's downfall. if you can hole shot them with full boltons and gears with a detroit truetrac then it will be a good race up to about 65mph when the srt will walk past you. a 50shot and no problem. the SRT from a dig is toast. from a 30 roll he has you but not by alot

if i only lost by a half of car length to the new eclipse gt(tiptronic) w/ an intake and race tires then how would i hold up against a stock srt4 with a decent driver. mine is an auto. and do you think a b@m@ 93 race tune and jlt intake would give me the edge?

The stage kits are not stock. They are mopar aftermarket kits, much like the frpp aftermarket parts for the GT and V6, only they maintain the factory warranty. Stock for stock, with a good driver an srt-4 will rip apart a stock v6. With the usual bolt ons, from a dig, if the srt is stock, the v6 could pull ahead, but after you hit around 100mph that srt is gonna start pulling hard. You have to remember guys, the srt-4's put down more power stock than we do with bolt ons and they are lighter...their only weak point is major traction issues. modded srt's will smoke you if you don't have a power adder and they can drive, so don't go hunting them. They have seen 13's stock, and it is damn easy to get them to 12's.

im pretty sure hes not a good driver becuase ive seen him stall multiple times in the school parking lot. and not many ppl are good at launching from a dig

RE: srt4
im not trying to be cocky. i know an srt4 would blow a v6 out of the water with a good driver. also when my car was stock i had raced a v6 with intake and 93 tune and won. both were auto. i have no idea lol. then i raced a civic si with alot done to it and won and then raced an 06 eclipse wich had a couple mods and barely lost. idk if my car came from the factory diff. to use the term "factory freak" might sound stupid but me and my friends have no other explination.
