Default SRT4 vs WS6

Well I hate to add to the NEON ego, but I saw a TA go down tonite
TA= ET streets, converter, 80 shot and some other bolt-ons
SRT4= upgraded Turbo, 80 shot, ET street DRs and who knows what else
FROM a flag:
TA left his ASR (traction control) on and bogged bad in 1st, SRT pulled about 2-3 cars and then the TA started to close the gap on the big end, but still lost by about a car

Its going down again on Wednesday, the NEON ran out of NOS.

The skittle might still win, they are quick and can be made very fast. Its a power to weight ratio thing. ?

But racing with traction control or even driving with it is stupid if your not in a snow storm or on ice. You buy a car for its power and then dont know how to use it?
First off everyone makes mistakes and at least (TA owner) he isn't afraid to try and learn from his , so lighten up on him....he'll get his chance again on Wednesday!

Ok it was a little harsh.(fixed it) Rematch? Give em hell!!

Stock cam with a shot vs upgraded turbo with a bigger shot. Do I read that correctly? let us know how it turns out. Good luck

Exactly, its still a neon. Wat's the difference between a SRT4 and a Neon? The exhaust, the little wing and a reasonable hood... but no matter what **** you add to it, its still slow right?

From a roll the TA would beat him....SRT4 got 3 cars out from the dig (because of a mistake ASR) and then the TA was charging hard


Beside WTF is the ROLL, I'm sooooooooo tried of hearing from a roll
When it comes to racing ($$$) its done from a dig! On these streets anyway.
Unless your giving space or the move.......

Where do you guys race at? I want a piece!!! I'm going to LACR hopefully tomorrow. I'm suppose to race a SRT-4 for money this weekend, its on the spray, but I'm pretty sure my 150 shot should hold off the neon. Do you know what the neon does in the 1/4 mile?

my bud's SRT4 beat another friend's stock 99 M6 Ws6 from a roll, ~40ish mph.

the Srt-4 was pretty much stock(intake, b.c. set at 17 psi and holding 15ish to redline).
From a dig it was a different story.
