Default 04 cobra and srt- 4

So i was driving home from work at night and saw a nice 04 cobra, sounded awesome...he said it was stock except the exhaust.
we decide to run when the light turns green...he let off at about 95mph and i was about 1.5 cars ahead so i was pretty happy. We wave and go our separate ways.

Later that night an dumdumdumdumdum comes next to me...he said it was brand new and stock. we both go when the light turns green and we're dead even the whole time, it actually surprised me.
Could a stock dumdumdumdumdum actually do this? pretty awesome if they can
i admit i could use a better driver mod

oh i have a 99 ws6 m6 vert, h/c/i and bolt ons

A stage 1 stock Neon shouldn't come close to you especially from a stop. They can come from the showroom with a higher stage though but I don't know what numbers they produce. Your car stock should be able to beat a stock SRT.

Thats what i thought..either me and the cobra guy suck at driving or he has some money put into the neon. Or both, hehe

Caliber or neon srt? Neons last year was 05. Either way, no way that turd was stock, you would rape him stock. Although i am surprised you only pulled a cobra by 1.5 cars with a heads/cam car

yeah, i always thought my car should have been faster...and its hard for me to tell if a car is stock or not. My exhaust is quite loud so cant listen to their cars.

x2. No way a stock neon could hang after, say, 50-70mph with a h/c ls1 fbod.

sounds like the Cobra was close to stock, the neon was nowhere near stock or new, and both of you ponies need the driver mod

either that or your car needs a tune

Neon was not stock at all. HCI WS6 should walk even a mildly modded one. Nice kill on the Cobra.

Sounds about right. And that's not stock at all.

Eh, you could buy them from Dodge with the stage 3 upgrade before it even had a mile on it. Just like you can upgrade the blower on some Mustangs before you buy them new. Just depends on what your definition of stock is.
