Ah many times have I just floored it coming out of that exit. Same with the University Exit coming out of Orem going north. I always do. Sometimes I catch a quick little race there but nothing special. Mostly it's just seeing who gets cut off when the two lanes end and come into the freeway. L8...

Sorry, it's just that when I say that I saw and/or raced a Lancer, people generally ask if it was VII or VIII type. That's just what I'm accustomed to around here.

no non evolution lancer had a number designation.

why arent you racing that 7 of yours?

The other morning on the road to my high school, approximately 1/4mile before. I came up to the last light before the school. I was in my mom's SC300. I pulled away normally, and I heard a revving beside me. It was a dark red late model Dodge Neon base. He had difficulty keeping up when I was just driving normally but I just said **** it, and I gunned it. The SC300 went to 2nd, and it just pulled away. I put 3 or 4 car lengths on the poor Neon, and then I had to slow down for the turn lane. Its kind of a boring kill but I take what I can get.

It's in the shop getting an engine rebuild and a few performance parts installed. I didn't even want to try putting stress on an engine with 175,000 on the clock. Don't worry, it'll be causing terror on the streets soon enough.

Hahaha I can remember when some chick and all of her ugly friends tried to jump me in her beat up Neon when I passed them on the highway. This was in Summer '04 when I just moved here, so nobody knew about me yet. This was also when the Jetta was running stock with atx. I still beat her pretty easily.

Never tried racing a Neon SRT-4. I wish I could just to see what they've got.

They've got some power. And to be correct, its not a Neon, it's simply an SRT-4. Neon has an image Dodge doesnt want the SRT-4 to have. I really dont know if they sell well, but Ive seen a few around Minneapolis. But many more Evo's and STi's here.

Last night a friend and I went out in the SC300. We raced a Nissan 200sx with 3 kids in it. 2 rolling races, and then a race from a ligbt. Just to give you how an idea of how bad it was; from the light we immediately pulled away and left the 200sx 3-5 car lengths back by the time we hit 50.

We then raced an early '90s Audi sedan from a roll at around 45mph. Similar results as the previous race. Nothing exciting.

Finally we raced a 1990circa Accord. It was about what you would expect. We raped it.

I wish we had faster cars around here. I'm buying a 300zxtt and thats only going to make it worse. Any guys in the twin cities wanna race?

Aerowitz · 03-05-2005, 04:10 PM

How much power do they kick out? All I really notice on those things is a more aggressive body kit and a louder exhaust.

It'd probably beat the Jetta, though. I only have around 120hp with the shit I have on it and it's a slug to get up to speed. Just gotta wait until the RX-7 is finished... just another few weeks to go!

Didn't know it was just called SRT-4. My bad.

TheStang00 · 03-05-2005, 04:52 PM

SRT-4 = 212 hp

Twizted_3KGT · 03-05-2005, 08:03 PM

They only have 212 hp?? are you sure? this is the same car that beats the 500 hp Viper in the 1/4 mile? I thought it was like 280 or something

dampachi · 03-05-2005, 08:06 PM

...SRT-4s don't beat the viper in the 1/4. What the hell are you smoking? SRT-4s are rated at 230hp.

This is the second time I've heard people say that the srt-4 is faster then the viper. I explain that the viper is rear wheel drive with twice the torque, and horsepower but they refused to believe me. Im not saying you twisted are the same, but I don't see where people are getting their info. I came very close to calling my brother out that night, to show them what a viper could do. It doesn't matter they'll (ricers) make excuses why they lost by several hundred car lengths, and they probably would even refuse to race it. Once again I'm not saying your the same I'm just venting.

I beat a SRT-4 that was modded. Ran from 20-60.
Man, little fucking car was fast. I was barely pulling him. Didn't get much chance to get into the LS1's range (top end) but he was right there. Pulled him hard for a brief nano-second, then he hit boost, and was almost dead even. I had a slight pull on him.
He was running 17.5 PSI at the time. I try not to use this excuse, but if we had raced at sea level, I would have walked him.

PWRDbyUNCLEbens · 03-05-2005, 10:49 PM

Wouldn't sea level benefit him just as much? I'm just asking because I don't see how that would work unless you were carb'd. Maybe Im wrong school me if you will. What temp was it outside? He could probably make the same arguement if was warm. Turbocharged cars love teh cold air.
