Just curious, what do people think? will my SVT win? would it be close? or would my friend win? :shrug:

if you lose to an intrepid in an svt you must suck at driving something terrible.

thanks for the info! I just wanted to know if I would win going against the intrepid with a 3.5. They feel fast when I drive his car.

however we do not promote street racing, so take it to a track. But it'd almost be a waste of time/money since i'm sure you will win.

I don't street race, thats why I was asking on the forum. I would hope I would win, but you never know, since the 3.5 puts out more power.

Thanks,

if you can get a good launch you should be able to take him for sure, and if all else fails, find a road course and stick it to him haha

Umm you worried about your 2.5L 5 speed not beating an intrepid with a slushbox?





Something seems wrong with that:shrug:

Edit: Remember that SVT's are a high RPM motor and if you launch right with minimal wheelspin.... Shouldnt have ANY problem.

[cnewton44]

The R/T (which I assume comes with the Hemi) is only good for low to mid 14's. The SRT-8 Charger is good for mid to high 13's. So I imagine the 3.5 is probably closer to mid to high 15's.

yes iknow my contour is slow a friggin charger almost outran me....
a 6 banger charger the 6800 pound one

I think the intrepid might give you a run for your money... my buddy used to have one, it wasn't that fast but it wasn't that slow either. Try it on a race track and video tape it so we can see
