Can a N/A 3L Contour with mods run competitively with the SRT-4? Does it stand a chance of winning?

it should be at least close. the contour is heavier, but does not have turbo-lag. should be fun to watch.

Sure it can, depends on the extent of mods to the 3L. A well done hybrid with the usual bolt-ons should be competitive.

I haven't seen any 3Ls trapping 99mph and above.SRT-4s are trapping as high as 102mph. Thats what the turbo CSVTs are doing. Sorry, just don't see it happening.

I'd love to find out too. Realistically, I see only a really strong 3L not getting spanked. And I'm not being negative. I would love for someone to prove me wrong.

Depends on the driver. I highly doubt a hybrid will win. When an SRT will run in the very high 13's-low 14's. 3L will run about mid 14's still. Just done't miss a shift.

remember, David Z ran a 13.7. Granted he had cams and what not..but none the less a N/A 3.0L. And most 'stock' hybrids do run mid 14s....but who wants a 'stock' hybrid?? :-) Originally posted by todras: Depends on the driver. I highly doubt a hybrid will win.

13.7 since when? Fastest I thought he had was like a 14.01 or a 13.9?
