see... am I missing something? the mod's he has should put him at low 13's? am I not correct... therefore if it was 2 kids in the car... chances are this one is just chalked up to bad driving

actually i just realized something.

to my knowledge, the stage 3 package isn't even available to the public yet. so this moron obviously wasn't saying he had a stage 3, or if he was, he was probably full of shit.

however, once available, the stage 3 kit should put the SRT4 into the mid/low 12's range.

preliminary testing has shown the SRT4 stage 3 making about 310whp and torque. in high octane mode, that jumps to around 355whp and torque. however, with the stage 3 package on a brand new srt4, you're looking at about a $30,000 price tag.

WHAT the hell you talking about not being out yet??? they have been out for over a year!! you are right about the stats....
$30k HAHAHA....... the FULL kit is only $3600
so your looking at (depends on how much you paid for the SRT-4) mine was $19,995+ $3600= around $23,600 total

Heres a link if you want to buy it!!

interesting, considering mopar's website says the stage 3 kit is unavailable (coming soon), and in fact, has a TBD price. i guess mopar must just never update their website.

http://www.mopar.com/srt_stage_3.htm



and here's more interesting info:

you claim it's been out for over a year, yet only 7 months ago this was written:
Meet the Stage 3 Dodge SRT4 that we borrowed from DaimlerChrysler's Street, Racing, and Technology division.......
We are the only journalists who have driven the Stage 3 car at the time of this writing

Most of the other upgrades were there to help make the most out of the big turbo......
If you installed these parts yourself, you'd invest about $28,500, including the original SRT4.

so what do i believe? a site that claims to sell stage 3 mopar kits? or do i believe mopar themselves?

From what I found on SRTforums the Stage 3 was released late October early November of 2004 .... so that means it has been out for over a year....
The website i showed you was just ONE place you can order them from .... never said they were the first people to sell them!!!

ok so are we talking an actual mopar stage 3 kit or some kit that some other company offers?

i was referring to the mopar stage 3 kit, which seems to me, could not have been released any earlier than May of 2005, when that magazine wrote that they borrow one of the test model stage 3 SRT4's, and were the first to do so at the time of that writing, in may of 2005, about 7 months ago.

so are there kits out there other than the mopar stage 3 kit? in other words, kits made by other companies?
