The srt's don't need any basic bolt on's, they've got a turbo more than capable of giving more power, they just need a good tune and maybe a little more fuel support if they really wanna get greedy.

Here's a secret, your lt1 looks like **** and has nothing for the srt-4, your 500lb's heavier with close to the same whp.

Don't start with me about price's, lol, my old dsm would hand you your *** on a silver platter every single race and cost thousands less with mods. Even race's from a roll. The srt's are new right now with low mile's, i'm sure they won't cost so much with 141k on the clock...
You crack ME UP.. cause you dont even own a GM vehicle and act like it's expensive to own, like it somehow prevents the rest of us from owning other cars and houses. rofl. You must be like 16-17 years old, just a young buck in the world.
You could get such a nice 02 ws6 or ss with low miles for 20k nowadays. but why.
They are so inexpensive if you really wanted one, oh well. Lets talk more about the SRT-4 and how it compares to the 5+ year old ls1. It's NOT impressive. I'm not impressed. the EVO's impress me more cause they actually have a racing history and are based on a performance minded car. the NEON is just economical car they they upgraded. Kind of like how in CIVIC SI the SI stands for SICK.

i think its funny how people talk down the LT1 cars but i guess thats there opinion in the end, but any way i've raced a a modded SRT-4 that had just the driver while we had a 94 LT-1 hard top t/a with two passengers and a three cases of beer... we beat it from a dig bad and worse from a roll... and the only mod done to the t/a long tubes...

Oh and I know someone who's about to turbo his lt1, it's gonna be one badass car and I have a lot of respect for em, so don't take it the wrong way when I say that imo lt1's look uglier than srt-4's god forbid. I personally could care less about looks of a car, that's a ricer's mantality, I respect anything fast aspecially that had hard work, time and money put into it. I'm just playing along with these other posts.

I could get an ls1 in 2 months, lol, I just choose not to. Don't like rwd in new england, dude I have nothing against your ls1's, I think they're the baddest car's out there, second only to the terminators, just mho, but you guys are the one's nocking the srt-4's which I also respect, so deal with it you can't handle your own medicine, I'm only playing along with you guys, giving you a taste of your own medicine.

And don't kid yourselve's stock gt's are the slowest pile's there is, stock srt's would beat em by buslength's.

I was just about to give u the benefit of the doubt and think your a cool car enthusiast with a fast car...but your seriously asking to race for "pink slips," are you kidding me?? And I posted a few time's now that I'm out of this hobby, if you are really looking for a money race I can gladly set u up with one if your in the new england area, against an import or 2. Whats done to your car?
And why can't I be on ls1tech.com, lmao, I like these cars. Just because I'm saying a turbo 4 banger can be as fast as these cars god forbid doesn't mean I'm talking down to them, it just means that you guys set the bar

(i'm just talking about the warrantied mods you can choose to get for the car stock, not any other mods, u can easily mod an srt-4 for hardly any more money to beat an ls1, maybe a little raised boost will do it).
who cares about mods that will void your warrenty. you think thats gonna stop people from doing it. from workin at a dealership you would be surprised at the **** that actually gets warrentied. had a lady come in last week with 40k on her car (out of warrenty) with a blown motor. she never changed her oil once in 40 thousand miles and you know what they warrentied the motor.

LOL, ignorance is bliss. There is/was a website of a guy who took a Laser, same car as a Talon, and ran 12 for guess what?? You got it, $3000 including the car. Dont spout **** you dont know anything about.
And Neons run mid 12s for very low amounts of money as well, go read SRTforums.
