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.

www.srtforums.com to get a clue,,, or actually ride in one, drive one, or race one.


I respect SRTs. I think they're cool little rides. I know what they are capable of.

From reading the above link, it looks like the Mopar Stage II with Drag Radials is about right where my A4 vert runs. All I've got are Headers (I still have the stock exhaust) and a lid. That's it, it dynoed at 306 rwhp and 310 tq. A set of Nittos and a 3500 stall torque converter...the car will be in the mid to low 12's all day long with ZERO engine work. I'm still saving for this....O' the agony!!!

What's your best time so far?

Ok...enough about SRTs and LS1's.........back on topic....Rick's tour.

Rick..when are you finally getting that little beast to the track???? I will not be surprised if you can get a 12.5 @115-117.

Also...how fast does 1st gear go by? I've ridden in wavrdr's and 1st is almost useless....
