900hp Dodge SRT-4

[Bunta]

The "you didn't have to click on the thread" argument always wins. But then again, you could've just posted that other vid in the first thread you made. At least people don't gripe about others bad typing/grammar in here...

Whatever. Here, I'll make a topic. Hmm...

you do realise the difference between nitrous(i believe that is what you were refering too) and an elemental particle found in quatum physics right?

nitro does not not = Neutrino

Could you bring some actual proof of what you said? If not please add "IMO" or "i think"....

Look at number 8...and look at the cars around it. Does this look to you as a bad handling car?

Please post similar stuff about the mini so you can support your case

However I guess this thread is not about another SRT kill so I retrack my earlyer statement. I guess I was just like "god another SRT thread" my bad. And Steiner I didnt mean to offend you I would enjoy hereing your kill stories any time.

Hmmm....if i'm trying to promote the srt4 that much I must be stupid for posting the ls1 vs srt4 vid in which the srt4 got destroyed

does it occur to you that other members of this board might like to see street racing videos and i just happend to find a lot of srt4 videos?Heck i've tried to get some evo racing vids forever and i cannot find any...the guys at the evo forums don't even have a racing section or even a vid section and i'm having problems signing up with the 350Z forums.


and if you would like to post about the new M5 who is stoping you? I would love to see some more new info....heck i would love to see a street rcing vid of one if you can find some.

The car is a great car for the money but I cant stomach it and I cant stand FWD cars


Other than that, you cant beat it for its price

I would take a mini over the SRT. Why you may ask because I care more about handling then stright line. The mini is designed to handle better than the SRT4 can. Stock for stock no, but the mini's DESIGN makes it so that if you put on some nice coilovers you could out handle most cars even if their modded or stock. Its just so small.

No worries. I don't want this to be another SRT forum either. I would go crazy without this forum's objectivity.

BTW...I only have 2 kill stories. They are both a little boring though. I'm hoping to race my brother's 400hp '68 Buick Skylark GS400 stroker this spring. Irregardless of the outcome I'll post it here. It should be newsworthy. He said he's gonna shine his bumper for me and I told him I'm getting a little "Hi" bumper sticker just so he has something to look at while we race.

Fisrt when I said Nitro I ment Neutrino...for some odd reason I wrote Nitro.

Second the Mini cooper CAN be a better handler and its not just my opinion. I dont know as much as you im sure about chassis and such, but I do know BMW made a very stiff chassis for the Mini so much so that tq sheer is not a big issue. And Im sure Dodge did the same with the SRT. So it just comes down to size and shape. The mini's chassis is short and wide and with nice stiff suspension the car handles like a pro. The SRT is about same width but longer. Now put some suspension on the SRT and im sure it will also handle great but, not as well as the Mini. Size does matter when its comes to handling.

well the srt4 does not have very big problems with torque steer since they knew from the get go that can be a problem with high torque FF cars so they gave it equal leng halfshafts....that reduced most of the torque steer even in the 03 model without an lsd

of course the mini even the mini s will have less torque steer since it has way less power....

also torque steer and bump steer are more controled by the suspension setup(control arms etc) than chassis

from what i hear the mini does have a very stiff body which is very important for handling but i really don't know how it compares to the srt4 body since technical data that shows how much torque the chassis can handle its not easily available

one thing though to remember is that the new mini is no lightweight at 2678 unladen weight its quite heavy for its size...heavier than a celica gts i believe

about its size yes its true in certain autox events being small can be quite an advantage.....however on a high speed track a short wheel base can prove unstable at very high speeds....just look at the wheelbases of the super cars....they are huge for a reason

Ok but were talking about handling and I dont think the mini is going to go fast enough so that its short chassis becomes an issue. And yea I agree the Mini is alittle heary but its still lighter then the SRT no?

Not by much. Also, if you don't want to read any more threads about the SRT-4, then don't click on them, yeesh.

Now get back on topic, I don't want to have to close this.

yup thats my feeling i don't mind FWD too much though i'm not saying it wasn't a damned fast car with alot of work on it just still a neon.

Of course. We all know you're the local Mopar Nazi, with Neut as your sidekick...it'll hurt your feelings to shut-down a thread about an SRT-4...

its just a neon
and evos are just lancers
and ferrari's are just fiats
astons are just fords
porsches are just WV

get the picture?...i can use that type of argument to put down any car...that argument literally means nothing...heck the hate mail with "its just a neon" anoyed the SCC editors so much that they ended up going to the factory to have an expose on how the car is built....and even they were blown by what they've seen


now can we get to the point of this thread and discuss perhaps some technical elements of how to get a 4 banger up to 900hp and make it run for several minutes at full power and not break
