Default srt vs lt1

Granted i have just purchased my ws6, but this story doesnt seem right to me. The kid (he says he's 16) has a stock srt and "raped" an lt1???? This is from srtforums.com-

Either he is racing someone who can't drive worth a **** or he is lying. Oh well. Those are the guys who are the most fun to run into at the track.

I'd have to agree, srt-4s only ran between 13.8-14.4 depending on year.

a stock LT1 vs a stock Srt-4, I think would be a close race.

I think it would be close but the LT1 definately has the advantage. Then again, thats considering the LT1 is still in good shape.

You have to take the guys over at War Stories with a grain of salt. Some of them are ******* around half the time, then there are others that are full of ****.

A good driver in an SRT could take a stock LT1 I would think. I had a 95 LT1 and I would have Maxima's keep up with me from a roll when I was stock . As you can imagine, it wasnt stock for long.
Mine was an auto though and Ive never ridden in an SRT, but they seem to be pretty quick from what I hear.

It would be close, but the SRT will come around at the top end. When I was stock, I ran FIVE LT1s. I was 4-1 against them. All of the races were rather close, but once I was in third, I would start coming around them. The only LT1 I lost to when I was stock, was an Auto and his mods were intake, exhaust, Nitto DR, and gears.

His car was quick...... we would trap the same in the 1/4, but he would kill me out of the hole by a couple cars (that's where the gears & Nitto DR helped him). With those mods, he usually ran 3 tenths faster than me. Now though he refuses to race me....... He hates losing to a NEON .

See ya......

I still think for an auto lt1 depending on what gears it has but a manual, I don't see it happening. Possibly this years model since they put more power in it. But than again, for 7 year old technology, you can't complain.
