i would still think twice from a dig in a traffic light situation with one of these cars... even if you've got a lot of mods...like you geist You will definitely beat them in the 1/4 mile, but in a street encounter from light to light this car is pretty tough. I have driven these cars a lot and the car with its awd is very very impressive... and all you need to do is floor it

Have either of you ever ridden in a turbo S2000? I make full boost around 3600 rpm. Not to say I have anywhere near the torque the SRT-8 has by a long shot.

There are plenty of these things around, I'm willing to bet I will run across one of them this summer.

my friend has a turbo s2k... and have driven in it alot... i am not disputing your power, nor driving skills... just saying how easy it is to get a killer launch with one of these things... and on a street encounter at a traffic light you would need to launch perfectly to keep up.. from one traffic light to another...

i must have read the first post wrong, i thought this was in regards to a JGC srt-8... the other cars would be an interesting race... im sure you would do fine against one of those... FI that is

there is no way he is going to lose to an SRT-8 while putting down 400whp. no sorry, it aint gonna happen more power, less weight.. maybe if he misses the clutch and hits the brake.

what i was saying originally, as i thought it was a jcg was that the AWD would be pretty hard to beat on a stoplight to stoplight encounter... a 1/4 mile would be different
