I wish people would learn how to READ. I never said a srt4 hangs with a ls1. I said CLOSE. And it is VERY CLOSE. I've seen it first hand between a 6 speed ws6 non-convertible and a srt4. But you keep telling yourself that you're untouchable but don't be surpised when a slightly modded "neon" beats you. With $3k, a srt4 won't be into the 11s, but for only one reason, TRACTION. Race between a $3k modificationed ls1 and a $3k modificationed (yes i know i'm making words up) srt4 on the highway would leave the ls1 owner in the srt4's rear view mirror. Nitrous doesn't really count as you can't run a big shot on a low compression 4cyl. Most of us do the majority of our driving off of the drag strip, so FWD isn't that huge of a disadvantage away from the strip. There are srt4 owners running 12s with street tires and less than 400hp. There are srt4s with slicks running into the 11s and still traction is a HUGE issue, but yeah, "neons" are too slow to "hang" with ls1's. ... It seems you and maybe most other ls1 owners don't wanna give credit when credit is due (to dodge/pvo/mopar).

Just don't be surprised when a modified srt4 meets you on the highway and then says bye-bye.
