I'm not making fun of FWD. I am however making fun of them looking like Neons
I have seen a pickup truck that looks like it was from Sanford & Sons run a 9 second quarter mile. I have seen a mid seventies station wagon run in the 9's as well. You can make any car fast with time, knowledge and a whole lotta money. But when the fastest LS1 based F-body is in the 6's it gets a little difficult for me to be impressed by a FWD SRT-4 that takes everything they got to get into the 10's.
That's just my opinion.

Dude you are looking at it the wrong way. You have an 8 cylinder rwd pretty much made for drag racing and you still have to spend 10s of thousands of dollars to get it as fast as you are talking. A street driven 10 sec 4 cylinder is pretty impressive to me. I didnt have that much money in my SRT4 and it would have roasted alot of cars on the highway that were pretty modded. It did as a matter of fact beat a heads and cam T/A that dynoed 420 rwhp on the highway and I was on pump gas.

It takes money to go fast in a LS1 but so what? My current project is going to cost me about 15-17K. But when I'm done I'll be 10's N/A, 9's on the spray and relatively street friendly. To say well I can spend X amount to get Y fast is a ricer argument IMO. If I wanted to be cheap as possible I would mod a Civic or 5.0 Mustang. But looks were also important to me and I liked the TA's/Formulas. When I am done I'll have a perfectly streetable car capable of 9's. This is something the SRT-4 is yet to do.

Ok you are pretty much being ridiculous IMO about going out of your way to make fun of SRT4s. You dont have to like them nor do you have to own one but you are just being an ******* about it for no reason. Like I said my SRT4 would have handed you your *** and it was all bolt on no nitrous stock motored. Now before you go off again about how ugly it is and blah blah blah look at my sig, Ive seen both sides of the arguement. I liked both cars for two totally different reasons. My SRT4 was WAAAAY more streetable than my Camaro and would whip *** when needed. Nothing like getting 25+ mpg in the city and making 400 whp at the same time.

Nothing like winning and that's what 500+ rwhp LS1's tend to do. And do it quite well.

Skittles. Taste the rainbow
Good kill.

No not making fun of anything here are you there.
You win dude. As for my sig you can kiss my ***. When you have asa much time money and effort into something like that you tend to be a little proud of it. Maybe after you get your **** done you will understand, which you probably never will get done. Im sure you're just like most of the internet people who have big dreams but small wallets. Later....

he kept pulling fly bys on me.. and i was like wtf.. i did the same ****.. until i got up next to him and he saw me brake and he got next to me.
from like an 80 rolll to about 110, i put like half a car on him... but we hit traffic.. i rolled down and was like "your quick!"... dumbass couldn't hear me or some ****..
i'd have LOVED to run him from a dig or lower speed rolls... my feathering is good.. heh.

Agreed.
My wife has an 05 SRT-4 that I only have a few mods, and if you are a good driver and can slip the clutch a bit you can get them off the line decent but let me tell ya, from a roll them little fockers pull NICE. SHe does want a GTO though for the lowend TQ.

I local srt 4 not sure what mods but expect swapped out turbo or possibly some spray was running 12.2 at 113/114 this last season. On drag slicks.I wanted to find out mods but he wasn't around in the pits. We are 1700 feet or so up here.
Buddies 430 rwhp 99 SS heads/cam/headers/bolt on could only make 11.99 this year at 117mph with not sure what tires possibly nittos. Another wild cam/headers lsi was doing 12.39 at 114 also on nittos.
So have seen one fast srt4. On street tires though hard to hook them up off the line for sure and they can wheel hop bad without some mods to stop that.I did test drive one and it was pretty neat. I prefer my dsms for looks though.
My dsm is currently my fastest car.

As previously stated there are alot of srt-4s in the 10s now... With slips to back it up.. Nothing new really. Srts are nice quick cars and for 5 grand for the stage 3 you can have a 11 second car.. Not bad at all... To bad they are FWD its the only reason i got rid of mine... Stock for Stock i could hang with LS1s til about 60 mph.. from a 20 roll But anyway good kill

Those times all seem slow for the traps. I'm at 900 feet and I hit 12.4's @ 108. And that's with all stock internals and ls1 intake manifold
