question about a 02ws6 vs 04 srt4
so i raced i a red skittle the other day he pulled up next to me in my 02 ws6 mods: qtp cutout, slp y pipe/catback, mti lid, ls6 intake. we hit it off and surprisingly he stuck with me all the way to top of 5th. after the race i asked him what he had done and he said a full stage 2 kit with full exhaust, big front mount intercooler, ported tb and a tune. should this have happened????

What speed did you race at? If it was from a dig how bad did you spin or bog? I agree that skittles are great cars from a roll but when they start getting some decent power to the ground they cant launch for ****.

But regardless of how fast it was, I was still left with that feeling that it was a Neon at the end of the ride.

A good friend of mine has an 04 model SRT-4, big front-mount, aftermarket waste gate, and a tune running something like 16 psi off the stock turbo. Car went a best of 13.9 at Tulsa Raceway Park on 555r's. Kind of a close comparison for you..

Actually the 1/4 mile times show that you should race them from a dig. They can't 60ft well to save their lives, but they trap fairly high. A stock turbo can easily be made to trap 110mph, but won't even be in the 12s unless they have slicks and can drive.
I had a ported stock setup that looked exactly like a stocker from the outside before the big turbo, and it went 12.7 @ 117mph w/2.1 60ft with DRs. From a roll it was killer. I haven't gotten the big turbo setup dialed in at the track yet but it went 13.3@117 w/2.4 60ft on street tires at 21psi. The setup will go safely to 26 or so, but I was waiting for the tires and wheels.

For the OP honestly i think the srt-4 owner might have been wondering how you were keeping up with him.
