too many 13 second cars killing cars than trap 10mph faster in the "kills" section, can't really be taken seriously now.
Umm I guess you could compare an SRT to a C5. It is THE sport compact as far as money invested is concerned. I wont make excuses for some nimrod that claims he beat a ZO6 in a stock or modified SRT. Find him on the street and beat his ***. I know better than that.

Very true! I guess you could consider that SRT a bolt-on car as well though. Probably roughly $2000 in mods retail.

That's actually a pretty pathetic performance from the Camaro. Too bad one of those guys can't run into me or someone like Levi (Cannibal). They'd learn a hard lesson.

Me too. What the HELL happened in here?

As already stated, props to unit for accomplishing nothing at work and dealing with 20+ trolls.

In related news (not really), I closed my first loan today (YAY!) I am now $200 closer to kicking your ***, unit

Thanks man. I would've liked to pummel those *** clowns. I tried to take the high road since I represent LS1Tech...sort of. I slipped here and there. I wanted to give it to 'em STF style. They don't want any part of me.

The irony is that the best way to deal with the SRT4 guys is simply ignoring them. They crave attention. Denying them their chance to troll was just the right thing to do.

Is is hilarious looking through their kill section!

Bone stock SRT-4
I pulled up to a light next to this really nice looking red car (turned out to be a 2000 LS1 Camaro). We go off one light and he kinda pulls on me and we do that till we get stopped again. I knod and he knods back, the light goes green. I get a pretty darn nice launch and roast him out of the whole and all the way to 100 until I shut it down, I had at least 7+ car lengths on him. We pulled over and stopped at the next rest area. He wanted to know how I was so much faster and blah blah
Most of the people on here, myself included could have gotten a brand new SRT-4. I just couldnt fathom the idea of driving a neon, so I paid the extra for a real car.

I considered buying an srt-4. But for the same price I got two, yes two, vehicles that in my opinion are better vehicles. One of which is unquestionably faster than their neons

I used to sell bikes. I am to damm of an aggressive driver to be anywhere near a bike. Although they are extremely fun. I considered alot of different vehicles before I bought the SRT. I could have never guessed how much fun it was gonna be. I have been lucky though. I was one of the first owners in Cali so I called every company out there to get free parts. Here is a list for those that care. AEM CAI, AEM SRI, K&N FIPK, DC sports cat-back exhaust, Thermal R&D turbo-back exhaust(still waiting for production unit), DC strut tower bars, Mopar S1, Dynoworks motor mounts, $5 catch can, Eibach Springs & sway bars.

I always enjoyed chasing and I actually don't mind bracket racing at all. I used to bracket race every month out at Sealy in the Car Club Bash. I have good reaction times! Just make sure you pay attention to those lights... I have a way of making people nervous

...so, when ya coming to Houston

Sorry. You're taking me on first. I don't bracket race, though. Two miles of highway, or one circle track, and I'm there. I'd even run a normal Solo 2 course with you.
