R/T 1.328
60' 2.307
330 6.218
1/8 9.326
mph 79.76
1000 11.999
1/4 14.271
mph 98.84

This is bone stock, first run at the track with this car ever. I have since gotten a 13.8 out if it in stock trim by cutting my 60' down as well as launching a little less aggressively. Traction is your friend and I launched the 14.2 run around 2500 rpm. I now launch at 1800 rpm, minimizing wheel spin and cutting my times down. There are a few stock srt's running in the 13.7 range. Many have under $2000 in mods, and are well into the 12's. I have an 04. I have clearly casted my vote by buying an srt, but I dont think you guys have all of your infor right on this particular vehicle.

thank god some one with some knowledge!!!! did u read this in srtforums?? i was reading this and i just kept getting more pissed off. so i thought i would show it to some people who knew there shit. so once again thanks for showing these tools what they really are.

yeah, my freind has a mazdaspeed protege thats cranking out about 18 lbs. of boost and its anihalet everything that comes across its path thus far, but last week we were leaving school to go get some lunch when we came across an srt-4. to make a long story short, the neon pulled about 1-1/2 to 2 cars ahead then my freind hit fuel cut in third gear and he was gone... so now i have gained alot more respect for the srt-4...

like the man said, i give major props to the srt-4, but i believe it is still too slow. i own a 95 eclipse that i am running mid to low 11's at rockfalls. upgrades are big 16g turbo, custom exhaust manifold, straight exhaust all the way back, 650cc injectors, 255lph fuel pump, 20 psi of boost, and much more. am pushing over 500hp on stock internals. i also read in sport compact that a 93 eclipse runs 0-60 in 3.84 sec. and 1/4 in like 8-9 seconds so i would take a 2nd gen eclipse over any domestic or even the 1g eclipse. the rst-4 is the only domestic that even has a chance against any import.

gots to be the cavalier. and yes cavalier and sunfire are the same car.. enginewise GM ticks me off too. they tease but never please.. my problem example = Hella produced those bodycolor matching projectors for the 263? [orange stolen cavalier]..they have them, but GM will not let them be released to the public.. I WANT THEM

i'd say the pontiac fiero has the most potential. with the rear engine set up you can drop 350 v-8s in them and if you dont know what a fiero is it's a car about the size of a cavalier made in the 80's it has a rear engine and runs low 15's stock with a 2.8 litre v-6. most people drop chevy 350 v-8s in them. I also think the cavalier z-24 (1990 v-6 and the 2000-2002) have alot of potential with a turbo the v-6 cavaliers can run 12's and z24's can run high 14's with very little modification (intake exhuast computer weight reduction ) and you can supercharge 2.4's and cavalier connection is coming out with a turbo kit for the 2.4 soon
