Well SRT4s run more than 12 psi stock, and if hes running a boost controller and upped the boost to 18 then it could be a good race with him maybe even pulling you. Stock for stock though you would walk him.

and i think you could still take him.
with a bad 4l60 and no converter and no headers i beat a supercharger silverado with 440 rwhp who was running his mouth. I think you can beat a neon. everyone said he'd beat me by bus lengths because i was an auto vert with no big mods.

Be very careful, when was the last time somebody told you all there mods? I have tuned a few cars with minimal mods(exhaust and boost controler) and they make around 300whp. Ask to see under his hood and look for a blue or red motor/tranny mount they are prone to breaking on any hard launch, if they are all black race from a dig. Good luck. Thanks Steve

a buddy of mine has an SRT-4 with just a boost controller turned up he made 260some RWHP and his car is beat to **** without the controller on it it was making like 200rwhp which is less then it shoulda been making from what i understand. It'll be close i think gotta be on the top of your driving.

Man, I'll race you. All i have is flowmasters and a SHITTY exhaust leak that causes my idle to be all funky!


Seriously though, I bet the guy is sandbagging. Run him for fun, from a dig. I think the odds are in your favor, but im not putting money on either of ya.

I have to agree most ricers (99%) have slow car but that 1% is still out there and you can usually pick them out.

The 1% is identifiable by lack of ground clearance killing body kits and for the most part neons. They also compliment YOUR car and show interest. Also, many carry dyno/ET slips in their glove box in my experience.

The couple i've raced tended to lie on their mods, one told me he was stock, but when i pulled up next to him, there were no tips and he had a boost controller inside, the other said he was bone stock, but i have talked to him before and he listed mods off, steveb has a good point, when did you ever tell anybody all your mods?
