Even IF he did he had 1 off cams among other things to get his motor making some serious power. A stright hybrid isn't going to make the same numbers as him.

13.7 since when?  Fastest I thought he had was like a 14.01 or a 13.9?
The 14.01 was in a Contour. The 13.7 was in a Cougar.

In a standing start quarter, the 3L tour doesn't stand much of a chance. The Contour has to be one of the worst launching front drive cars I have driven. The Neon would spank most 3L Contours quite handily.

I could have SWORN I saw him post a while back that he jacked up the fuel pressure once and another tweek or two and busted out a 13.7 *shrugs* I could be wrong though.
Todd, yeah I know thats why I said he had cams ;-) plus he said 'with mods'. Granted the SRt-4 has the complete upper hand. Add some boost and buh bye

I agree.
SRT-4's are in the high 13 to low 14 range at 100-102.
Most 3L's are in the low to mid 14 range at 95-99.
Now any turbo'd Duratec would be "faster" then an SRT-4. However the "quickness" of both cars would be close with the Duratec really stretching it's legs in 3rd and above.
A 3L turbo (or currently "the" 3L turbo) is significantly faster (trapping mid to high 100's!) and on average a bit quicker.

While I do agree with Demon, one thing that needs not be forgotten is that we're comparing stock to modified. These SRT-4 guys really have it going for them as any factory F/I car has a world of simple modifications that can yeild major improvements. I'm a huge Duratec/CDW-27 fan, but there will come a time when our engines are no longer competetive in the hp wars that are errupting before us. My take is that if you have a light, heavily modified 2.5/3.0 liter, know how to drive and run in with a "stock" SRT-4 then there is a chance(slim) you'll be able to put it to him/her. Modified to any of our N/A motors really isn't fair game IMO. Remember running mid-high 14's at 94-96 mph as some of us have done in the past will put you within a carlength of a stock SRT-4 with a decent driver. If you cruise SRTforums you'll see that quite a few are running mid-low 14's while quite a few are in the 13's if not better. Good luck....don't worry about me...I've got a turbo!

You can probably run with a stock SRT-4 if you have a well built Hybrid.

Heh, years ago who woulda thought that one day us Contour owners would be sitting here saying "Gee, I wonder if my 3L hybrid can beat a Neon?" How times change. The Neon went from a little economy car that said "hi" to a hi-po model that people actually fear at a racetrack. Gotta love the way things are headed though, power, power and more power!

Get enough HP/TQ and some traction and you can race a ricer one handed while sipping a slirpy. Nothing wrong with that.
