I can't wait to see all the positive replies you get from this one. I wonder if the 350z is faster?

SRT4 seems stronger, well, because it is. The new one dynoes at what, 240-ish whp? But drivers count a lot, as always.

If you do a search, you'll find a lot of long threads about this topic.

I've 2 friends with SRT4's, 2003 and a 2004. The 2003 stock was close, but I'd pull ahead as speeds increased. We did a 40 to 110 run a couple of times and I got a car length before shutting down. Since then, my friend upgraded to a Mopar Stage 1 kit and it was enough to turn the table around for him. Now he'd inch ahead slowly and be about a length in front after 100mph. Once I started modding lightly, I was shocked as the tables were turned again in my favor.

The 2004 is another matter... when the 04 was stock and my friend w/ the stage 1 ran against each other, the 2004 was still stronger from a roll, albeit small but it was stronger. We all know the new SRT4 has LSD so we did all the runs from a roll. My car in its present shape is about on par with my other friend's 04 SRT4 in stock trim, however we never ran beyond 90mph and it's dead even till then. I'd imagine that he may pull on me if we could safely up the speeds (which we can't since our roads look like the surface of the moon).

Could go either way.

Want a tip? Race turbocharged cars in the most humid and hot weather you can, during the day. It is a night and day difference, seriously.

Actually, the SRT4's ECU is very good at maintaining performance in all kinds of weather conditions. High altitudes or sea level, high humidity or low humidity, it's quite interesting that the SRT4 manages very well to all kinds of conditions. I've been through a few things here and there regarding the SRT4 (because I'm interested in the engine, not the car). There's been a few dyno tests that show that the SRT4 hp #'s are quite consistent in all sorts of conditions.

If you want to beat a...

03 model, take it from a complete stop. 03 SRT4 has no LSD, nuff said.

04 model, a run from a roll is your best chance.

modded 03-04, good luck.
