13.8 @ 105 you run...hmmm...should be able to edge him out fairly easy. I raced a buddy's LS1 when I was stock and let's say it didn't look good for me. Only place I held a bit was a 40 punch to about 65 and I was toast. Stock they do 14.0 - 14.2 @ 99 - 101 for the average driver. I've seen worse and if you can drive it well a 13.8-13.9 is possible @ 100-101.

I'll run you tho. With that ET I'll take dig too.

Actually, the PT Cruiser is under the "Chrysler", like the Ram is under "Dodge", Jeep is under "Jeep"...

However...What is under/or next to "Mopar"??? Under Muscle, Street, Speed??? Looks like a Charger, SRT-4, and Dragster to me....

Who cares what it's called. It was a Dodge designed by Mopar (and upgradable with Mopar "Performance" parts) therefore it's a Mopar.

Either way it's just a Neon with different engine, suspension, brakes, rims, and a body kit.

i think he was saying that the pt cruiser, ram, and jeep are all on mopar.com too...since it was said that the skittle is mopar b.c. its on the webpage. how can someone ever put a skittle in the same catagory as a charger ?

dart = mopar
duster = mopar
charger = mopar
'cuda = mopar
skittle = not mopar

im still waiting for someone to explain how it is...besides b.c its on the moapr website...

My dad had a 72 challenger with a built, bored out 440 (446ci) putting out over 500hp n/a, 800 on the juice. All of it (but the nitrous) straight out of the mopar catalog.

THAT was mopar.

run him from 30 or 50 (bottom of 2nd and bottom of 3rd for him)
thanks for the info! its always good to know these things

example) never race an 03 cobra from 50 lol

from 40mph i'll be in 2nd pretty nicely and from 50 my revs are up a little high, but i can still pull a few mph out of it. 30 mph is too slow for my 2nd, too fast for my 1st, and it would never hook up from a 1st gear roll anyway

there's a red srt-4 at school i've been wondering about. its got a carbon fiber hood/trunk/spoiler, FMIC, and black wheels w/ chrome lip. not sure what other crap, but i want to run him, win or lose.

btw - i'm on 315 nittos and 4.11s'

Go ahead and live in denial, but it was created by Mopar......

Let me ask you this, who also designed, created, and researched all of the plug-and-play "Mopar" upgrades for the SRT???

Mopar cold air intake
Mopar Stage 2 coilovers
Mopar Stage 3 coilovers
Mopar Blow off valve
Mopar Exhaust
Mopar Stage 1 Upgrade
Mopar Stage 2 upgrade
Mopar Stage 2 with toys upgrade
Mopar Stage 3 upgrade
Mopar Stage 3 with toys upgrade

Who went through all of this trouble so that nothing needs tuning??? Who knows this car better??

Do you need a hint???



Read the top of the page "Mopar product"...."Mopar Street"....---->

http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews...n_srt4_stage3/

"Meet the Stage 3 Dodge SRT4 that we borrowed from DaimlerChrysler's Street, Racing, and Technology division, the same folks who have created beasts like the Ram SRT10, 300C SRT8, and Viper Competition Coupe. "


"Most of the other upgrades were there to help make the most out of the big turbo: Mopar Stage 2 coilover suspension, larger antiroll bars, extremely stiff rear tension struts, front and rear titanium strut tower braces, short-throw shifter, upgraded clutch ... all these from Mopar/SRT".

http://www.allpar.com/neon/neon-srt-4.html

"One of the great things about the SRT-4 turbo is that enthusiasts will be able to get extra power out of it later through packages available from our Mopar Performance Parts group," said John Fernandez, Director - Performance Vehicle Operations.

Said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President - Design. "There was a 'sweet spot' we wanted to hit by using a design theme that includes unique front and rear fascias, sill-mounted ground effects and a Mopar signature deck-mounted spoiler."

Ohhh it's Mopar.......

You may want to believe it's not, but it is.....
