Oh, and mines faster.



Alright so I guessed about the year. You got me, haha.

The normal SRT-4's aren't really that impressive. I've ridden in normal ones, but this was the STAGE 3. As in, 345hp Stage 3 Turbo.


I agree stock they aren't anything too special, but with $150 you can be at 275hp wheel horsepower. Keep in mind though that anyone who tells you a HP number on an SRT with a stock turbo, that number is just a spike number. They won't come close to holding that much power to redline. Until they get a turbo upgrade, it's almost impossible and wouldn't be suggested even if it wasn't.

I know what Stage 3 is. There are a few guys around me that have it actually. Stage 3 is very nice with its plug-and-play ability, but you definitly pay for that. The S3 turbo is very similar to the stock turbo with different wheels in it, amoung a few other things. The turbo I have is (in terms of the SRT) about 2 or 3 sizes above the S3 turbo. Each one is different, and size of the turbo doesn't necessarily have much to do with it. The guy you got a ride with won't have 345hp to the wheels unless he has at the very least full exhaust and an intake. With my mods, I'm sitting at about 360hp to the wheels (conservative guess) with only the injector size holding me back from upping the boost for more power.
