03 vs 04 srt

I got to drive my friends srt4 the other day and loved it. Handles great and great power when you get on it. In it we raced a Z28, LT1, and he was at our door until 4 gear where he inched away from us. I've always like f-body, but since I drove this I want something with the same power as an f-body and a little better handling. But I've heard there are a couple differances in 03 and 04 Srt4, like for 1 thing I know that the 04 has LSD and the 03 doesn't. Also I don't know if this is true but I've heard that the 03 is slower than the 04 cause something with there air/fuel mixture. IYO, what is a better deal and which 1 would u rather have?

The '03 doesn't have as much power. You can upgrade the power but without the LSD it is hard to make use of it.

Ok, thanks for the info, I was already leaning towards the 04 model. My next ? is stage 2, my friends brother also has a srt4 he is an 03 but has stage 2. They've never raced, but how much faster does stage 2 make it in a 1/4 mile and just all around? How much does it cost? Is it worth it?

If you get stage 2, get stage 2 with Turbo Toys.
It has an adjustment wheel to dial in how much power you want and it also has a 110 octane racing gas button.

What is the price with just stage 2 and what is the price for stage2 with toys?

here's some real information regarding the 03 adn 04 srt4s

03-05 srt4's all have the same power. the 03's were rated at less, but power is the same. injector size changed, but power didnt. they just ran larger injectors and cut down injector pulse

04-05 have LSD units. due to the equal length halfshafts accelaration is not hindered much between the 03's and the 04-05s. the LSD comes into play in accelaration out of the turns, it helps prevent smoking the inside tire coming out of the twisties

an 03 is going to be cheaper and will do just as well. when it comes down to the LSD, i dont like mine. i have an 03 with an 04/05 LSD. it causes too much understeer. stick with an 03 and save a couple bucks

TEXSRT should know, good info TEX! I would have thought the LSD would be better. Is it preference and not performance?

Ok, but what is the price for stage 2 with toys and without toys?

that i dont know. im not a mopar dealer. i sell most other products, but not mopar. i think its somthing like $700 without toys, $1200 with...or somthing like that. you can get that info at modernperformance, turboneonstore.com, etc

Ok, but what is the price for stage 2 with toys and without toys?$1475 with, $875 w/o...from Modern Performance.

yeah, they just had a price increase. its big news on all of the srt4 related forums.

yeah,i'm gonna try to get some up here in a couple days,still gotta clean her up. i just got it a few weeks ago,got rear ended on my second day of ownership, and it had been terribly neglected (not maintenance wise,just filthy) by the previous owner.

05's are the best :P

lol helll yaaaa

i have an '04 srt w/ st.2 w/ toys... but before i got the upgrade i raced a buddy of mine w/ an '03.. and i pulled a slight bit on him through every gear so i would say from experience that the '04 is a little more powerful right off the lot... sorry to hurt the feelings of the '03 owners but its proven dudes... all the articles on car and driver... and from my personal experience... the guys who say their the same r full of shit, and just say it because they own '03 model srt's

hahahahahha! SRT handle great! hahahhaha :rofl: your funny :screwy:


Mine does.
