Some nice runs. BT SRT4s are no joke. They are a force to be reckoned with on the highway.

Srt4 is quick..especially considering how slow he was shifting

Those are nice, but the 1st gen Neon with the SRT-4 engine/turbo swap are even meaner.

I know a guy with a 99 Neon R/T with an SRT-4 engine and a bigger turbo. It's a sleeper alright

Or if he runs race gas and sets the boost at 28 or so and then the look is reversed.

I shift faster than that just regularly driving.

Nah if you listen closely you can hear the beeps. I just slowed down more than I wanted to when I downshifted.

Nice races. I ran a quick SRT4 recently but unfortunately I don't know what was done to it! Supposedly there's a black one cruising around with an aftermarket turbo making around 400 to the wheels. Should make it interesting.

So you're saying that a 400fwhp SRT4 is gonna walk a 550+rwhp LS1 Fbody?

He never said the SRT4 in the video. A bigger turbo SRT4 on race gas and 28psi might very well take one on the highway.

Who was that really ugly woman that owned the red SRT4? It was pretty quick if I remember.

400whp srt no.

But lets say a GT3076R SRT with race gas on 28psi... well quite possibly yes.

=My SRT, except I'm on E85, so I can do it all the time without running to the gas station. Remember these cars are under 2900lbs. Race from a dig unless you like surprises...

Srt4s make for a good daily driver.

Nice runs OP.

"madtytesrt4yo" basically sums who picked the gayest screen name EVAR.

On a side note, why are we running 350rwhp cars from 50/60 rolls? Lets see what an entire race is like... either a dig or a 20-30 roll.

Good races though op, impressive car for what little has been done to it! I love his mod list compared to yours.

Thanks. I think with your setup a 400whp srt would be a pretty good run.

Thanks, and yea they're not too bad. My Saturn Astra is waaaaaay more of a comfortable DD than a neon though.

LOL yea it is pretty gay, but I've known the guy for years so I can deal.

As for the 50/60 roll I would be far happier going from a slower speed but it was about 35* outside and he has no hope of traction with street tires in those sort of temps.
