I have a friend who has a friend who has an srt-4, he says his dad has a c5 z06 and his srt-4 stays with the vette til like 130 or so. this doesnt seem plausible to me what bout you guys? im told it only has like intake and exhaust or something. i know the sti's are pretty fast, i raced a modded one with my slipping trans and he pulled pretty hard from like 20-60 or so.

My buddy Jason has a stage 1 SRT-4. Runs 12.9@113.

Stock they'll run about like an LT1. Being turbo'd and really light all it would take is some key mods and I'm sure it could hang w/ a older Z06 decently enough.

Still just a Neon though...

You sure it's not a Stage 2 or 3 or a 1 with a couple key mods on top of it? My understanding is a Stage 1 is very lightly modded and only good for like like mid or high 13s...

no ******* way!!!! hes full of ****. the srt will do 0-60 in 5.9 sec. the c-5 is a little less than a sec. faster than that. by the time they got up to 130 the vette would be long gone!!!!!

Your friends friend is a bullshitter, no way would he hang remotley close to a Z06, unless he is seriously modded or a that guy in the Z can't drive for ****.

If they go from a dig and the Super Neon (assuming it is really close to stock) beats him until any MPH, the Z06 driver needs to trade in his Vette for a base neon.

That doesn't make any sense at all. An 03 Zo6 traps 115 MPH stock. An Srt-4 traps around 99-102. With his mods (intake, exhaust) I saw he wouldn't trap any more than 103 or so. (maybe) Zo6's run low 12's stock...Honestly, this is no comparison.

that is what i keep saying over and over, but my friend swears by it, i told the kid i want a race and hopefully i'll get one soon, he lives in fort worth somewhere and i was told he is coming down sometime soon. hopefully then i'll have my 3.42's in and really spank his ***. this is of course if it is stock like he says, im sure a nicely modified one would be pretty damn fast like the wrx without the extra 2 wheels taking up power.

he said it was just a regular srt-4, nothing about any stages or anything. might be though

If its a stage 3 it's easily believeable, otherwise no.

They're about as fast as a LT1 stock for stock, and "stage 1" is nothing but a computer change, and just stage 1 alone will not get you high 12's @ 11x. It will get you 13's @ 102-103.

Lethal Z

The last SRT-4 I saw at the track last year ran a 14.3 Im pretty sure other than some exhaust mods it was pretty much stock. They are quick, remember power vs weight is what wins races.
Im sure a stage 2 or 3 would be nasty. But in the end its still a neon so who cares.

I saw an SRT4 put 298 hp to the front wheels on the dyno last weekend. I don't know what mods he had to get those numbers. I would think that car could get into the 12's pretty easily with those numbers. But if your friend is talking about going from a roll then that's a lot easier for a turbo car to hang then from a dead start. Without knowing what mods he has anything is possible, but I would tend to lean towards the prove it point of view.

stage 2 neons pull from me like a ls1.... unless i spray... lol... but yeah... stage 2 makes them an animal.... and with good gas... 283 hp makes for a quick lil skittle

Fastvette94

There are fast SRT's out there. I ran against a white SRT4 at Angleton Raceway. He went 8.30's at 86 MPH in the 1/8. I was pulling away like a madman after the 330' mark with a trap speed of 93.

Dont get me wrong those lil skittles are quick, but unless a stage 3 i dont see it beatin a Z06!

Droopy8503

well i got a 95 z lt1 and i got stomped by an srt-4 going about 40 on the freeway...he literally left me in the dust, but it didnt sound stock so i'm sure it was nicely modded.

My buddy raced one and it was about even. My buddy has a 97 formula with a HOT cam, 1.6 roller rockers, Edelbrock mid length headers, K&N cold air intake, and Flowmaster exhaust. Not sure what was done to the Neon, but it sure was a humbling experience... I mean, a NEON!!!

273sunsetZ

I raced one with an exhaust on the interstate not to long ago. All I had was a lid, k&n, and LM at the time. We pulled up beside each other at about 55 and he didn't even honk, he just took off. I quickly passed him and had him 3 or 4 by 115, where i let off. Sounds like your friends friend has the, "I have a awd import, nothing can beat it," mentality! We didn't race from a dig, which probably would have made it a better race, considering 2.73's suck ***** off the line..

Like a few people already said, it doesn't take but a few mods to make em' fast, mabie thats the case... But sounds like a crock of shis to me!!!

I may be mistaken, but I thought he said stage 1. He put down in the area of 260-270 RWHP so maybe it was a stage 2. I'll ask him when I see him. None the less, very little has been done to the car and I have saw him run those times Fast cars with just a few mods.
