Got beat on by a SRT-4 Well my buddys got a Srt-4 and this thing is a lil animal.
He asked if i want to run it, so we went to the local little race spot. I didn't ask him if anyhting was done to the car, but I could hear the boost. It was sick sounding (they sound like that stock!!??!!). Well we line up.. and im jsut a lil stock LT1 (not spraying or anyhitng here)... the SRT is LOADED with people (so i look like more of a retard). When the pass closes his door we go.
He got a huge jump and i got lead foot and spun the **** out of my car. I didn't get traction untill after the car shifted into second. He had a car and a half by then and through most of the quarter it was that way. I was almost to his rear bumper at the end of the quarter.
Does this sound right for a stock srt-4??? I mean 3 people plus the driver and i was alone. How are these things uspposed to sound stock... it felt like i could hear the exhaust just being slammed out of the exhaust... sounded liek a jet engine. But im still going to assume it was stock (though they were pretty confident in it and they said they would beat the other srt in town.. which i know the other one is modded).
Well... let the discussion begin...

They are quick little cars...and with some mods, they can be downright wicked. He should have had a few mods to be able to pull you that hard with a car full of people. But then again, you spun pretty good and that's a bad way to start. Playing catch-up doesn't really tell you how you would do if you had hooked. Try again and keep those tires planted. You would proly take him then.

im not sure... if I had slicks and could smoosh the pedal to the floor, i would have taken him. Damn FWD gets out of the hole a lil better than my RWD... but those cars(all the skittles... even my buddys Cobalt SS/SC) spin like nuts too...

If you spun like that with an LT1, you just ran a 15 secondish 1/4 mile. Even a neon with 4 people can run better than that. Id say he was stock or very lightly modded.

Anyways, you can only go by what they are saying..... personally, from my personal experience owning the car and from what I have seen, a Stage 3 SRT should handily beat a minor bolt on LS1.
Take care....
