My friend's basically bonestock SRT4 is pretty decent in the 1/8th and 1/4 mile. We ran each other at the track a few weeks back and it's clear the SRT4's torque is the key to it's strong performance.
Maxima SRT4
RT .038 .437
60' 2.18 2.22
1/8 9.26 9.15
MPH 78.19 80.30
1/4 14.31 14.04
MPH 99.34 100.14
I beat him by a car at the finish because I had a nearly perfect RT, but I could see him creeping up from the 1/8 mile on. He was actually closing in on me pretty good right at the very end even though we both finished the race within less than 1mph of each other. I want that kind of torque.
black 96 Maxima SE
Best ET/MPH: 14.31@99.3mph with a 2.18 60'
JDM intake manifold, ECU, intake, y-pipe, muffler

I am just enuff of a realist to understand a good car. SRT4 is not a piece and isn't even quite a neon. Now it's your right to limit your options and call it whatever you want but not facing facts is a crappy way to go through life.
Umm yeah sure thing, I'll tell my college that I don't have to pay them any more.

I don't give a crap about this or that car. But you gotta buncha people spouting BS about something they are uneducated on and I will educate them. I think dodge did good and took the high power FWD affordable class to a whole other level and I like that. Just because ya'll BLINDLY hate the srt4 so much doesn't mean it isn't a good car, just means ya'll don't know.
