I would have offered to save him a lot of hassle and traded right then and there.

 

!!!!ding u got it...love that show

 

I love CYE. The only reason I clicked on this.

You guys have to realize not everyone with money knows **** about cars. I got a guy with a Pontiac Soltice that parks next to me every day at my office, and I am ashamed to admit I like the way that it looks, being made by the ugliest carmaker out there, but if I were some woman-man I might offer to trade him, especially if I saw him outrun some idiot in an EVO that didn't know how to drive, which is probably what happened in this case.

 

i kept up with him for a second. i jumped 1-2 cars on him then i heard his turbo spool and he just realed me in and then we shut down!

 

well you catch *any* car in the low rpm band and you can "jump" on them!

lol

try to get a jump on a M3 or EVO with them holding the tach at 5k - not gonna happen...

the power curves of the cars tell the whole story - if a (good) driver keeps the car in the powerband, then it all comes down to the numbers (in a straight line); and the numbers for an M3 and EVO are both higher than the G.

 

on the highway evos run out of breath....by 5th gear my friend had a 1 1/2 car lead on an evo in his g and all he has is an injen cai in his car.

from a stop an evo destroyed me in my g though.

 

Our cars will keep up with the Evo and STi on the freeway and we will smoke srt-4s on the freeway. Those cars have lots of low end pull because of the turbos but their high end isnt that great. If you ever look at the 1/4 mile speeds of a srt-4 it will run like 13.5 seconds but it will only hit maybe 98MPH where we run 14.7 stock and hit 98 MPH...its because our top end is a hell of alot more powerful than theirs.........

^thats all from what i heard (the 1/4 mile times i have seen)

 

your almost exactly rite there...when you look at the trap speeds of these turbo 4 bangers, they are extremly low....but an srt-4 dont hit the 1/4 in 13.5 lol.

 

I was talking about a modded one...sry forgot to put that. I was at the track the other night and got smocked by one. Im not sure what he did to it but i noticed the huge front mount intercooler so he wasnt stock obviously, but my top speed at the end of the 1/4 mile was 1 mph faster than his but he was .6 seconds faster than my time.

Stock i think the srt-4 runs like 14.1 or something close to that.
