Default 02 SS vs. SRT 4

So i was cruising down the freeway to my girlfriends house tonight and on the way i see this red hatch blow me off the road. I decide sure im game, and drop a few gears to catch him. i get next to him at about 70 and he looks over and i hear him downshift so i throw it into 3rd and he hits it, so after about 1/4 car i hit it too, and he stays ahead of me till 100 or so and then i start pullin him hard and have a car by 120.
Im thinking wow this must be a nice ????. I noticed a HUGE front mount so im thinking **** i bit off more than i could chew here...

he rolls his window down and says he wants to go from a 40 roll, so we slow to 40 and i throw it into 1st, he honks it off and instantly i jump out on him and pull very hard. at 120 i had at least 5-7 on him.

He had exhaust, intake, bigger FMIC, and a chip i think.
with that big front mount i was expecting turbo swap but nope.

so that was the highlight of my friday night

SRT-4s don't have chip modifications though there are upgrades through Mopar that change the PCM's out. Also front mounts are often upgraded even while on the stock turbo because the stock one is very inefficient.
