S2k vs SRT4

S2k vs SRT4
tonight on the way home from work i came across one of those Neons, and he kept revving his engine on me so i decided to take a detour from going home to catch a light. when we finally caught a light, it took forever for the light to turn green...and then whne it finally did, i was looking at something else on the road so he took off before me...and i only got to launch it at 4500 , so my car bogged like crazy. when i finally got it going i missed second ..not only that my lane merged into his....so decided to let off the gas....after all that he was only a car length ahead of me....so i guess i did ok.
i wanted one more chance...so at the next light i held my rpm's to 6500 and got a perfect launch, but he didnt wanna race anymore i guess. so i let off the gas and then i hear him rev-up behind me when i was in second already...waaaay out of VTEC. he passed me up but i was on his ass until about 80 mph...he walked on me. i waved at him when we stopped but he brushed me off. . i lost, but maybe i'll get a better run next time
what do you all think he has to walk on me like that? all i heard was a BOV and a loud exhaust
MY02 - intake and exhaust
Neon Srt4-
sorry for the looong input.

thats probably all he had - i used to have an srt-4 and s2k's weren't
ever a problem usually with your mods.
sucks to say that but hey, i'm a stooker now for better reasons than
just going fast!

Well if you only launched at 4500, AND you missed 2nd gear, and only lost by 1 car...then I'd say (obviously) you would've beat him...especially if he was in only in stock form.
You'll do better next time

guy probably had stage 2 kit. Don't know why everyone thinks that these things are such easy kills. Doesn't take much for them be able to embarass true sports cars.

SRT-4 will beat a lightly modded S2K even in stock condition from a roll. They put down about 220-235WHP stock; and the newer ones have LSD. They are a bit heavier than a S2K, but if they have simple mods like a boost controller and exhaust they can become pretty quick. There is a 77 page thread based on one of my videos that was posted up walking down a Stage 2 SRT-4 when he got the jump on me:

In either case, they are all (that I have raced regardless of mods) slow; but still fast enough to take a S2K that is lightly modded and especially when not properly driven.
