I lost pretty bad....

[Gotian]

I was on my way to walmart last night when a was being tailed by a silver SRT-4. It had straight pipes, CAI, a SSQ blowoff and maybe other things as well.

the kid was about 17 and he was tailing me as I led him down a one lane street. I down shifted to 2nd and slammed on it, the kid took off and went into the opposite lane to my left where on coming traffic goes, lucky for him there wasnt any. He passes my and cuts in from of me as he shifts. When he did I could smell something from his exhaust fumes and I yell out "wow Someone is running a bit lean!" I also notice he is running on 2 doughnuts in the back.

I pull up next to him at a red and tell him his car sounds nice, cause it did, and I was off on my way to walmart. I shook my head as I left and said to my g/f and friend "too bad that if the kid puts one more part on that car, it's going to blow up. And he shouldnt be racing on doughnuts."

My g/f looked at me and ask "shouldnt you have told him that?"

I shrugged, "let him find out the hard way especially if he is willing to go into an on coming traffic lane to win a race."

So I lost the race, but in a month if I see him again I know I wont lose cause that car wont be running right. To bad too

if he had a boost controller he was probably runnin around 20+ psi,, i kno the srt-4 drivers around here do. valiant attempt tho, srt-4's take really well to mods. i think with just a few hundred bucks they can run mid-upper 13's fairly consistently.

[Gotian]

yeah they take well, but the kid just bought it used with the mods already there and smelled lean. maybe the previous owner sold it for a reason

They also take really well to trees, parked cars, semi trucks on the turnpike, puddles that lead to huge fucking brick wall.......I swear the life expectancy of an SRT-4 is shorter then a relationship with J-Lo!

If its not the stupid drivers then its the overly done mods or the horrid weight distribution of the car but eventually something does them in.

Eh cant win them all little bro! theres lots of faster people out there.

[90redgt]

yup theres always someone faster, but not for long it sounds like, lol. Wait to see if that guys' car blows up. It is definately not good to run lean on a boosted car.

I agree with musashi here, almost every one i know including me that has had an srt-4 has either totaled it or broken it.

thats because the drivers of skittles are weak....just like the wrx and evo drivers....either they cant drive them to potential or they drive them to the ground simple as that....

oh by the way gotian nice death....your fury had to end some where...

This from the king of boost leaks?
Its not that they cant drive them, its that its a cheap car with way too much power for its chasis. The Neon wassnt built with performance in mind. It was built to be a cheap economic commuter. You take a car with absolutely no performance orrientation and drop 3 times the horse power its supposed to have and you end up with a ticking time bomb!
sure its fast in a straight line BUT the wheels are too narrow, the car is too nose heavy, the wheel base is way too short, the brake disks too small and the frame too tall.

The Evo and the STI are performance vehicles built with all performance aspects in mind since thier very first blue prints.

[Gotian]

my fury did end with that,but it picked back up last night, i'm gonna post that one

[rice(er)]

its been a while since we've heard a death from you eh? the funny smell could've resulted in no cats, or gutted cat eh? my friend gutted his cat and his car always smells funny oh yeah, and what are doughnuts? another southern term for slicks? DRs? etc...

[Gotian]

doughnuts are small spare tires
