Default Lost to a srt-4 not a good day.

It was a 3rd gear pull around 55 or 60 the srt jumped ahead alittle bit and i couldnt make up that distance.. Shut it down around 100 as traffic was up ahead. All he said he had done to it was stage 1 ecu and wastegate. Thought id fare better with the mods i have in my sig. Granted im still running the stock tune, its a vert and had another person in my car. Just thought i would end up on top in this race.

seems like a short race maybe u might have screwed up just enough 2 lose the momentum and not be able 2 pass him up i thought ud win considering ur a m6 and have good mods practice ur shifts a little better those srt4s are deadly up top

I'm gonna agree that you should have started in a lower gear. The wastgate makes a big difference on a stock turbo srt-4, but I don't think it would be enough to walk away from a modded Ls1 car like your's.

There s sick SRT4 around my way..

He called out my other buddie with a c6 vette.


2nd gear roll.... 3 honks... about 3 seconds into the race, the srt4 made a awfull noise and lots of parts came from underneith the car as he fell back.

Turns out he shatered both of his axles..


-Ya you might of lost , but that car wont last very long with that power..

SLP new design headers, 3" Y pipe, magnaflow catback, ported and polished throttle body, SLP lid

These are the only mods, not worth a huge increase over stock. A buddy of mine has 496 rwhp ran good running WRX, it gave him fits up to 120 then he finally got by.

We saw a SRT4 put down 305 FWHP on a chassis dyno. Horsepower to weight ratio, the SRT4 wins hands down.

You should've had him, if you had started in 2nd. I've got a buddy with a Stage 1, and he has a cai, fmic, wastegate, and pushing 18-20psi. And we were about dead even, with a slight edge to him, before my lid conversion, tb, udp, ds, and 3.90's. I should have him covered now though.
