Default ls1's vs. srt4's

i killed a bunch in my old grand national, none yet in the t/a. I've got some kid though that dumped like 6 grand into one talking **** on the t/a and ls1's in general. i told him id race from a dig and that he has the cutest chick car ive ever seen.

anyway, whats your experiences with these cars?

I've only ran a few. They were all stage 1 with wastegate, exhaust, intake, bov...

I beat them easily. But 6k into an srt is a lot. It can be a very sick car. You better watch out!!

stage 1 2 and 3 all use the factory turbo...and if he spent 6k on a rebuild...he put something in that engine other then factory parts...and it IS enough that IF he knows the right people, hes gotta a nasty turbo on there too for around 6,000 with the engine rebuild included.. id be careful with this kid, if what he says is true...its no joke. 6k into a rebuild can get you a LOT....

I actually raced him 3 times with the grand national before he blew it up, but the old GN i had went 11.5's in kill mode, so i was a huge **** talker when i drove that thing. even on a street tune.

funny thing is he blew the damn thing up trying to run to much boost so he could beat the GN(wasn't gonna happen). So he really has it out for me and my car. Now ive got the ls1 and i can't let him win...if i apply enough pressure before the race he'll miss a shift, hehe

you have a good chance from a dig, as long as he is on street tires. He will not hook for crap with street tires. I see them all the time at the track, even stock spinning like a **** off of the line.

My friend has $4500 in his SRT4 if you count the money he made back from selling his stock parts.

11.8@122 on a DR.

I wouldn't get too cocky with just an intake, exhaust and DRs Fbody LS1 against a modded SRT-4. You are smart to go from a dig...

That is incorrect. Stage 3 is an upgraded turbo. Its small but upgraded nonetheless. They can be very quick with Stage 3. If you go from a dig you should be OK, but be careful from a roll.

I've raced a couple modded SRT's (not sure what was all done but they both said they weren't stock) And it was pretty even from a dig to about 70 mph and i started to creep away. If i launched hard i killed them from a dig through 1st and they pull a little to about my back bumper and at the upper speed's i start to pull again. Fast little cars for 4 cylinders i just hate most of the owners.~Cole~

Damn I hate most SRT4 owners, I take my Cobra to the dealership to get a free car wash, well the a salesman has to drive the car threw the wash. I give this guy the keys. Me "Be carful going threw the wash because the car is on DR and can get squirel fast." He replys "it's ok I own a performance car", Me "what is it?" "Oh a SRT4." Me, "Your SRT4 doesn't have 800rwtq"
He comes back and says "Damn you weren't joking"

my buddy has an srt4 that runs low 11's at the track on slicks, but on street tires it is totally worthless. so it just depends on the situation i guess.
