ws.666 vs srt 4 neon

**third_shift|studios** · 11-17-2007, 04:05 PM

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

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

. 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

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?

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

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

KITT:

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.

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

**Rikki_SeVeN** · 11-19-2007, 06:30 AM

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

**01ws6er** · 11-19-2007, 02:40 PM

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** · 11-19-2007, 04:39 PM

nice!

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 11-20-2007, 12:23 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** · 11-20-2007, 01:48 PM

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!
