Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag CSVT vs. 03 Dodge SRT-4

It only gets you flamed because you seem to have accquired an ego problem with the purchase of your new car.

You seem to have settled down a little bit now though.

I can understand being happy with your car but come on....sometimes it gets a little deep.

examples?




THe problem is, nobody understands the art of talking smack. they just jump right out and say "EFFF YOU MAN, YOU THINK YOU'RE SOOOO COOL CAUSE YOU HAVE AN SRT-4." like that's my fault? I was jelous too, but then I bought one

or


"YOU MAY BE FASTER, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S STILL A NEON!!!"

As far as I'm concerned it could say UGO on the back and I'd give 2 shits because it has a 70,000 powertrain and 36,000 bumper to bumper. I'll sell it around 50,000 and buy something different.

Doesn't the srt have a standard diff? Do you have lots of wheelspin on take-off, or do you have plenty of traction?

I'm itching to tangle with one now, with my torsen, good clutch and plenty of power.

The SRT is a nice car for the money, but I like my roomier 4 door.
I don't like the stock power curve of the SRT's, they have massive torque down low but none up top. Assuming the gears are tailored to it, thats ok, but I like having a torque curve that looks like its a bridge spanning a river.
I've been told my car's dyno looks nothing like a turbo car, more like a powerfull naturally aspirated car.

I am just saying, you bought a car. Anyone can buy a car. It is nothing special in and of itself to buy a car.

I would be more impressed if said you:

Saved a life
Served in the military
Graduated high school, college, etc.
Slept with Britney Spears.

It is a nice car though indeed. I have no problems with it. It is fast, yes. It is a neon, yes, but who cares. I would consider buying one.

I am glad your happy with it. But if you think your better then people because of your car then I think you have a problem (not necessarily saying this is the case).

he just thinks he's better than people, not because of his car.

Wheelspin?? WHat's that ? I can do this without even reving the engine if that gives you an idea of it's magnitude.






Mine does have the open diff (which is gone as soon as the LSD's are avail to be purchased seperately), for 04 on and on they have standard LSD (quaife no less) and that raises the price $1000 to $20,995. As far as the powerband goes? It's great, I've never been in a F/I'd SVT so I can't compare to yours, but man top end on my car is just as rediculous as low end. An explosion is the best way to describe it, if you haven't test driven one, I think you should, you just might like it? Best thing about the turbo, is the serious lack of lag as in none, zilch, nada. kicks in and stays in of course, the boost controller helps that bit too.

I'm not afraid of the srt4 from a roll, but I won't tangle with one from a stop. Too much bottom end! I'll leave that to the turbo guys.
