Exige vs SRT4 On the way into work this morning I see a black SRT4 pull up behind me on the freeway. Then he passed me so I pulled up infront of him hoping he would want to play. Then I gunned it and he stayed on my *** all the way to 100. 
Then I slow down and he gets beside me and we slowed down to 60. We do a 1,2,3, and we are off. He pulls about a half a car lenth ahead of me and I can hear is turbo over my exhaust! Then by the time we get to 120 he is about a car and a half a head of me. DOAH! We slowed down and I have him a thumbs up and asked if he was stock...and he shoock his head no.. He seemed like a really cool guy though. It was a really fun race
I gotta start driving the damn formula more often!!!! HAHA

My brother just bought a 05 srt-4 and it's a nice little car...quick and handles pretty good too....i would say that the one you ran had some bolt-ons to beat you like he did...

I would say he had a BIG turbo..it was loud!! Louder then the ones you hear on an SVT. My exhaust is Stage 2 and its VERY LOUD...and I could hear his turbo over that. Its my first loss in the Exige. At least I know I would waste him in the turns.
My exige does not have a turbo or supercharger. Its an 06 Exige.
My Exige runs 13.3 in the quarter at 103.

For it to be that loud, he could have just been running an open-downpipe on the stock turbo... my buddy has an '03 SRT-4 that he was running like that for a while, and it was DEAFENINGLY-LOUD when he would go next to me in my '98 Mustang GT that had an offroad H-pipe, cherry bombs (thank you previous owner), and turndowns. So my **** was loud too.

It was not his exhaust that was loud..it was the whistling turbo. Sounded like a missle going through the sky...then when he shifted gears you could hear the blow off valve or something. he was a really good sport about it all. You never know who is gonna beat you.

When they're running an open downpipe off the wastegate, that's exactly what you hear; the turbo whistle. My friend's sounded like the hand of God was pushing him

ahh..gotcha!
I would say this guy could safely run in the high 12's on the track..maybe mid 12's.
I needed more then 190 hp to beat this guy. Wished today I would have had the Formula.

My guess is that he was still on the stock turbo, and just running open downpipe with a few other mods... doesn't take much for SRT-4s to trap 105mph+. Buddy of mine on another site has the wastegate actuator mod (few more psi), intake, and exhaust and ran 13.2 @ 106mph I believe.

SRT4 = the american ricer you know you can always beat right? NOPE! hahahah
I beat a Cayman S and Boxster S over the weekend..so I am guessing this guy had over 300hp. I didn't know those things could hit 108 STOCK..bone stock? Grrrr..should have gotten the SRT 4 over the Exige and saved like 20k. naaaaaa...
