hmm.. if he is an excellent driver and all those cars he's raced so far belong to the same crack dealer who can't shift cause of the shakes.

I've had my SRT-4 for about 3 weeks, bone stock except the K&n filter that I bought for it.

Within the time I Have had it I have beat the following cars.

1. 1993 Camaro Z28 with intake,exhaust, and shift kit.

2. Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX with downpipe,intake,exhaust, front mount intercooler,and 16 psi.

3. FWD drive Turbo Talon,

4. FWD Turbo Eclipse,

5. LT1 Camaro Z28,

6. Modded Volkswagen Corrado G60 with pulley, chip,intake and exhaust,

7. metallic blue 350z that I beat by a car and half,

8. silver 350Z by the same distance,

9. 1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 with intake, exhaust, and headers,

10. 2002 Ford Mustang GT,

11. 2002 Hyundai Tibouron,

12. 2002 Honda S2000,

13. 2002 Ford Lightning the closest race I have ever been in beat it by only a quarter of a car length.

2. Probably not unless the GSX couldn't drive.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.
6. Yes.

2002 Lightning = 380 blown hp. That's quite a good bit, in my book.

To put this guy's claims in perspective, here's a guy who runs an SRT-4 on the tracks:

http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.p...?threadid=89786

The SRT he ran was consistent in the 15's and messed-up once and stayed in the 16's.

Disclaimer: in the SRT-4 forums, there's a guy claiming to have run a best of 13.9 bone stock. There is even a guy in the DSM forum that witnessed a 13.9 run from the SRT. I also know that most SRTs are mid/low 14-second cars stock.

But to beat those cars that would make an S2000 earn its money on a consistent basis...

...my assumption is that these cars' drivers underestimated the SRT and by the time they realized that it was quicker than they expected, couldn't make up what ground they lost.

You must get a years supply of crack with the purchase of a new SRT.

Definitely on the Lightening.

Oh man as much as I hate to admit it, that car can't beat most of those cars... Here we go again another dreaming racer. 215-220whp on a FWD with no LSD with only an air filter can be tied or win if the other drivers sux and he is a monster launcher, but Law of Probability says it's not going to happen...Oh no I talked bad about the SRT-4...
