Ion Redline vs. SRT-4
So last night I was with my friends and one of them told me he knew a guy with an SRT-4, and he asked if he should call him to race. I told him that would be okay even though I wanted my first race in the redline to be a win. So we met up and talked for a while and I guess his car was stock. So we headed out to the road of choice and when we got to the spot we lined up at 40mph. I honked it down and we took off. Almost instantly I pulled about a fender on him, then around 60 shifted to 3rd, continued to pull slowly, almost 90 and I throw it into 4th and I’m still slowly pulling on him. I looked in my mirror at about 105 and saw the front of his car drop so I let off too. So the first race for the redline was a win by about a car and a half. Then we stopped and he asked if I wanted to go from a stop. I told him I hadn’t really launched the car much yet but said sure anyways. He honked 3 times and we took off (well he did anyways, damn his LSD) I gave it too much gas and spun all through 1st and then spun through half of second. I ended up almost 2 cars back on that one at about 75. But I was surprised that I beat him the first time, all I have is an intake but I he was defiantly not catching up. So I guess that makes me 1 and 1 with the redline. That was my fun for Friday night.

Re: Ion Redline vs. SRT-4

Re: Ion Redline vs. SRT-4
Nice races. From having driven both of them, the SRT-4 was faster. However, the aren't all that far apart so I could see it pending on the driver's capabilities.

Re: Ion Redline vs. SRT-4

Re: Ion Redline vs. SRT-4
I think SL3000gt said it best. Stock for stock the srt-4 is quicker, but not by a huge margin, so if the underdog is an exceptional driver it can be evened out.

Re: Ion Redline vs. SRT-4

Re: Ion Redline vs. SRT-4
Nice pull from the 40 roll.
I know you want to mash it to the floor considering it is a race, but from a stand still, best to slip it easy with less gas (won't hurt the clutch if you don't ride it like a Tai whore)... and when you get moving, then slam the go pedal. IMO, it's always better to dip behind a bit then catch hard than to foolishly spin your tires and go nowhere...

Re: Ion Redline vs. SRT-4
Oh alright. Ive always liked the cars, but the supercharger is a limiting factor to the car. I cant wait to see the turbocharged ones hitting the streets.
