No way!!! A 3L will not hang with an SRT-4. They run 13.8 in the 1/4 all stock, and it will hit 60 before your out of 2nd gear. Maybe a modded 3L would have a slight chance



Go clear your mind. Every stock SRT-4 I've seen run at the track that is stock runs mit to low 14's. NEVER in 15 trips to the drag strip have I ever seen a stock SRT-4 run less than a 14.2 at the strip. That being said I had a friend with a 400 HP SRT-4 and that [censored] would roll! Nice car too. Most of the stock SRT4 I've seen run mid 14's with a normal driver.
I guess keep in mind that this is in souther states with higher track temps so it could be happening in northern states with cooler temps, however it wouldn't be 13.8's stock there either!

Hell the best I saw a stock EVO run was 14.0 and the best run on an evo period was 13.6 but the guy was running as much boost as possibler with an aftermarket boost controller.

So um NO. Most good 3L will run even with a stock SRT-4 and after that if both are well modded I'm leaning towards the SRT-4 unless the SVT is also turbo, then it's anyones game.
