So those are minimal mods to you? How much does a new FMIC set someone back....$500? Exhaust work for a 3" dump, BOV?
This guys got at least an extra grand into the motor.

I'm so tired of second hand stories. Hell, of course he's gonna tell you his car does that with minimal mods...it makes his car look better and everyone think he's a better guy for choosing the "best" car. He probably has a 50 shot under the hood you don't know about if those times are actually real.

Therefore I stand by what my eyes have seen in AZ and Texas and at the two tracks I went to, and that is NO SRT-4 stock has made it into the 13's. NONE. PERIOD, while I was there. That would be at least 5 different cars and drivers with multiple runs each. When I watch mid 90's corvettes only pulling 13.6's stock with 300+ HP and rear drive in the same night, what makes you think a fuggin tin can like the srt-4 is going to top that without a lot of help? BONE STOCK '05 cobra supercharged models would roll in off the show room floor and turn around 13.5's and around 105-108 MPH trapps. REAR WHEEL DRIVE.
So tell me again how a lightly modded SRT-4 can do better than this?

The only STOCK cars I saw pulling 13.0 or less were corvettes, late models. They were running mid 12's at 115mph bone stock.

Hell, my volvo is turbo and it has 218HP, almost what an SRT-4 has stock. My car is capable of high 14's stock. Real world results are showing 14.9-15.1 are the times people are getting with it.
So if the shoe fits, wear it. People should educate themselves and stop being BS'd or BS'ing other people.
