beat an srt-4 (down with fwd)
I ran an srt4 and beat it (i was VERY suprised) the other night. I had 2 friends in the car with me two (maybe 240 extra pounds since one was a girl and the other a small dood. This guy had no one in his car. I jsut wanted to race one to see how badly HE beat ME. In first gear we both kinda took off fast but not squeeling or anything. We both punched it and he lost a little traction and so i stayed ALMOST even in first. When we both chirped into 2nd i could definatly see the difference between fwd and rwd BIG TIME. I instantly made up my lost hood length and pulled in second about a half length ahead. When i chirped into 3rd i put another half a length on him so that my trunk was about even with his front wheels. We shut it down after getting into 3rd gear. Very close race but the G was victorious.
BTW.... i know that his srt4 in the right driver's hands beats my G.... not saying im a good driver... i just out drove this guy on this one particular occasion.... just wanted to clarify before i get flamed saying something like "nice bragging" or "no you didnt". I was very suprised myself

Now that you've admitted that the right driver with a SRT would have spanked you..lol I'll be the first to congradulate you...Nice win, must feel good to know that you beat someone because you out drove him...I think thats better then winning based on power numbers only...Gluck and be safe, especially with other people in your car...

so SRTs (stock) really stand a chance against a G-coupe? I would've thought for sure that an N/A RWD V6 with 280 hp would walk on a 240+ hp Turbo FWD

Remember the Lotus Elise w/ only 190 hp that does sub 5 0-60 time, but only weighs around 2k lbs.
My modded Civic can take a stock SRT, so what? It all depends what you put in it.
And, the new SRT w/ limited slip will keep up w/ us in the twisties, if not SRT'll have better times. Stage II and III turbo set up are cheap and put out a lot on the SRT. Turbo and lighter weight is a nice combo. It would be a nice car to have if I were 16, 17, or 18 years old.

i do appreciate that Dodge is SRT-mod friendly, offering a lot of warranty-able options (and some not) to drag a lot of power out of the car.

As I read through this thread, I definitely felt the hatred towards the car. Driving around in a RSX S used to be fun challenging or taking chalenges on the road, but now, the only challenges I get are from evos and STI's which I know better. At this point, I only kick up revs just to wow how fast they blow past me. (All I had was intake exhaust).
Back to the point, the SRT is a super fast car. I used to try to stay in the mindset that blah..its just a neon, which to a large point it is, but under the hood is a different beast.
This car does command a certain level of respect. Those of us who want refinement and very good power go for the G. Those who want a power blast, a modable kit car, and dont care about the finer things choose these turbo monsters.
one thing that blew me away though was that the SRT did not have cruise control.
