You are absolutely correct. We never did race. If we did, I would have lost cause I'm a suck-@$$ driver with eternal reaction times. Plus, although my best 1/4 was a tick quicker than yours, that was my last run when it had started cooling; yours was still in the afternoon heat.

It's still fun to talk smack to the coupe guys though.

Oh, and to stay on topic, "bla bla bla srt4"

 

never raced on from a stop, but played with one a couple weeks ago on I-95 in ft laud. not sure if it was modded under the hood, but had a cf hood and trunk (who does has a cf trunk?). had him the whole way, up and down from 60-110. everytime we slowed and took off again i was able to pull a little and stay up, but he was right there.

 

I see one of those every day a yello one with CF (or fake) hood and trunk.... ugly piece of american carap

 

Currently set to pick it up next Saturday. They replaced the front bumper, hood, right fender, both lights, radiator so far that I know of.

 

Ok folks, my old buddy bought a modded, and I mean modded '88 Ford Mustang about 6 months ago for $12 grand. The thing is a monster. Short shifter, ProCharger, blah blah. We took it to Ford Days in nearby Bellevue a few weeks ago and he put down 366rwhp and held the lead over cobras and even a 427 shelby. He took it to Yakima last weekend and ran an 11.3 1/4 mile. I love how fast that car is and it was dirt cheap. But in all honesty, wtf? It has deteriorating orignal burgundy paint, ghetto looking wheels, the interior is complete garbage and is literally falling apart AND....the thing has the original luggage rack still on the trunk. I've known this guy since grade school and we've obviously come down different tracks. He jokingly says, "you paid $40k for your pretty car but look what I got for 12?" You know why he's joking? Because he knows his car looks and drives like a trash can on wheels and my car is actually valued at 3 times the price. He's like a brother and we respect eachother's rides and there's no doubt I love speed and power, but seriously why would anyone sacrifice sitting in some plush leather seats and in a gorgeous, smooth, quick car daily for raw power? Not me. No thanks Neon. And no, a stock neon srt4 cannot take a G.

most stock G's dont trap anywhere near 101 mph in the quarter - a properly driven stock 05 srt-4 will take a stock 03-05 G - not smoke it, but it will end up ahead. These are not even the fastest times I have seen for the srt-4, just the easiest to look up quickly. I would probably still race one in my X, but I wouldn't expect to win. In my GTO or Talon TSI AWD, that would be another story though.

 

Lol i also love toying with str-4's . The people that own them think they can own the streets, but in reality they only driving a turbo'd out Neon. Gotta admitt the turbo does sound bad a$$ tho.
