ws.666 vs srt 4 neon

[third_shift|studios]

:woot: i'll make this short and sweet-just like the neon's death :firedevil:

ME: tuned w/full exhaust 2000 ws.666
HIM: who cares? Actually, i kinda do, b/c I raped him.

Pulled on to the highway after dropping michelle off at work, I see a GT ahead of me and next to him an srt4- fucking sweet, been over a month since my last romping! I start to maneuver through traffic, knowing the swift movement will lure the neon [b/c us f-bodies just can't do that, right?]. He took the bait and followed suit. Now, i'm not one to puddle jump around cars, but it was daytime/clear and fairly sparse with just enough cars to make some dipping' n' bobbing fun. He stayed on my ass fairly well then we got to a clearing where I pulled into the middle lane. He attepted to punch it, but I stuck out my hand to halt him and slow him back.

His passenger window rolls down, i see it's 2 young dudes. I yell "i'll honk 3 times and go!" Beep Beep BEEEEP...damn, i was only in 3rd @ 45 :brick:. We stuck next to each other from 45-80. I heard his BOV pop twice before I even finished 3rd, but I pulled ahead by a few bus lengths once I got into my powerband...took it up to about 110 and held it in 4th just to be sure no ricer flyby bullshit. Wish i had started in 2nd so i could really embarass him.

Gave him the :thumbup: for trying, he did the same in return as he drew near and took an exit.

Oh, the GT i guess wasn't into racing...we had lost them a while back. Fun times.

Seriously though, to kill an srt4 with me in 3rd @ 45...just doesn't seem like it was a "good car" ? I drove a stage 2 once and it pulled quite well from 20-90. So i'm just wondering if it was a stage 2 or 1...and i didn't think stage 1's had turbos?

[FuhBreezeE]

Nice kill! :D

[SpeedAddict38]

SRT4s are cool cars for what they are. Excellent for the value and competitive with the import 4 cyl turbos. I'm sure they're light, tossable, and just plain fun to throw around. But an LS1 they will not match w/o substantial mods.

Congrats and good kill,

Chris

Haha :true:

[ss~zoso~ss]

good kill, i hate it when i get caught off guard in 3rd gear

[third_shift|studios]

good kill, i hate it when i get caught off guard in 3rd gear

i know! I normally start most roll races @ 75 and 3rd is perfect there. But below 65 demands 2nd...gotta start lookin at the tack before I beep :sillyme:

KITT: http://www.thirdshiftstudios.com/images/thumbs/phoenix_dynojet.jpg It's a really well tuned car, but the clutch is sloppy, so my runs are like 14 secs. I call it a "linkage" problem b/c the sloppy centerforce clutch can't grab for shit on a launch. It's a great clutch for daily driving b/c it's so soft and slips nicely. I won't rip it out though b/c it was a selling factor on the car-brand new when I bought it less than 5k miles ago, soooo maybe in 30k miles I'll get a spec3+

oh yeah, my mods are headers/Y Corsa exhaust, SFCs, Front Sway Bar, Adj Panhard UMI LCA's/Brackets and Eibach pro kit. Need konis for it to be a real corner carver, until then, it rides like a dump truck.

[Stone]

The A/F looks pretty damn good....it takes a while to tune skittles and get that straight of a line:yup:

[Rikki_SeVeN]

Nice kill man... good thing it wasn't one of them skittles on Steroids that are seen around but not often...

:hasquint:

Very nice! I was on a very open (2 lane) highway and I saw an SRT Neon coming up on me. He pulled up next to me at about 70mph but the windows on his car were dark as hell and I couldn't see him. He rolled down the window and I looked over at him. He pointed forward and punched it (by the way he had a HUGE intercooler in the front where the bumper used to be lol). I slammed it from 6th to 3rd and kept up with him....until about 115 that is, I started to pull away and ended up beating him by about 2 cars at 145mph. I slowed down and gave him a thumbs up, but I couldn't see what his reaction was because of the dark ass windows. I almost shit myself cause no more than a mile after we slowed down, there was a cop hiding on the side of the road!!!! Woulda been bye bye liscense!

[third_shift|studios]

nice!

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I ran into the stage 2 one I raced awhile back, he reved at me, but wouldn't go again. I guess he had enough the first time!

[Stone]

Mines a stage 2...lol...even though its not a stock stage 2..:)

[MikeSomething]

Mines a stage 2...lol...even though its not a stock stage 2..:) Yea, my friend's Stage 2 beats Stage 3's and can keep up pretty good w/ 50trims, So I know what you mean man. BTW, I was helpin him work on it, and those heat shields towards the back of the engine suck the big one!

[third_shift|studios]

you mean side of the engine :wall:

road kill on the srt 4, always fun!!

[nhraformula]

those little neons are quick for what they are, good win!

[blackbirdbrain89]

hears one one the owners book does it say SRT-4 or neon???? and the only semi fast srt4 that i have seen is one that runs a 12.60 .. that dude runs any where from a 12.80 -12.60 every time hes normly at 12.65 run after run . i have not raced him yeat but soon ill race him shuld be fun. i hope

[basballny2]

Just put cats back on mine.. I lost 6 hp and 9 tq.. but still not a bad graph for a stock LS1.. This was done a couple weeks ago...

*edit* Hmm.. but I also added a bunch of weight since the last run from the 12 bolt, Tubular LCAs, Adj TQ/A, and PHR.. might have aided to the loss.. lol.

And what happened to your first run? You were all over the place!

ur dynoing 330+ rwhp on a stock ls1?

[TrickStang37]

srt4's are always game, they always tryin to pick on me. I almost lost to one once, on the freeway. I was pulling hard on one and then my engine cut out at the very end of the race. He didn't want anymore but good thing cuz neither did I. My alternator had gone out. I got off on the next exit and pulled over and had to tow the car home 50 miles!
