Huh, no kidding. I was always curious about that. Threw down with one on the highway last fall and pulled on him. Granted I had literally no fuel left and it was a cooler day, but I was moving away from him slowly but surely.

His car may not have been at 100% or he couldn't drive. Even in stock form with a good driver they'll pull on us from a roll.

There's a few 500hp srt4's around here that hurt plenty of feelings.

Well I raced a moded srt4 with my old 92 Audi s4 and he had a massive turbo. I'd keep up with him till top of my gear then he would walk. I'd shift and gain back ground. And I had beat some first gen sti's and one ws6 so they can be devilishly fast

You know, I've got my LS4 project going on in a rear engine Corvair. I had a one off adapter made for the FWD pattern, though a one off flywheel is a big part of it too. The cobalt motor would save a lot of weight in the back. And 300 hp wouldn't be too difficult to get with a turbo or SC. But I've already dumped a lot of cash into my current setup. Guess we'll see.

Your old a4 didn't keep up with anything with a "massive" turbo unless you had one of the worlds only 92 a4's to run in the 13's just saying. Let's keep to the facts here.

He did say he had an 1992 Audi S4 not an A4, which are completely different cars. http://www.dragtimes.com/Audi-S4-Timeslip-8912.html there's a link to one that went 12s. And an srt 4 running high 11s or low 12s has more than tires and 25 psi. It takes many mods to make an efficient 25 psi.

Srt4s do not come stock with a delta 55 turbo. The stock turbo will have compressor surge after 20 psi. All turbos have efficient operating psi ranges tho.

You proved why i owned the car.. Basically no one knew what it was. I could fly under the radar of the cops and other drivers. FWIW there was no 1992 A4, or A6 or anything, they were still called the Audi 80,100.

Basic info DOHC 2.2L I 5 forged, K24, External wastegate, side mount oil cooler and intercooler,

Just dont spin too much and you should be be able to pull out this win.

i think the ops car should beat the sc cobalt. now the tc cobalt is a completely different animal, but still not unbeatable. im not going to claim to be the best stick driver in the world, but i drove a sc cobalt a couple years back, and was very unimpressed. i definitely think my monte would stomp one pretty hard. dont get me wrong theyre cool little cars, but not exactly a fair match up against an ls4 car. now if its actually a stage 3 car thats a different story.

SRT4's are pretty damn good. I had a friend buy one about 2 years ago and I did the "LOL Neon" giggle at him. Once I looked into it I was pretty shocked. Then I got in it and let him show me what it could do. I was pretty speechless. Those cars were built to go fast and are no joke.
