SC S2k vs Stage 3 SRT-4

still a very potent s2k then... arent most s/c cars only mid 12's or so
A real Stage 3 SRT-4 would have been strong enough to make up for the extra weight and bad driving. My Stage 2 STi (down-pipe/tune) will easily kill a SC'd S2000 from a dig, and walk it from a roll from any rpm, and at any speed. However, my car will not nearly hang with a Stage 3 SRT-4 (except in the first 3 gears).

Stage 3 SRT-4's with exhaust, big FMIC and DR's run 11.7 seconds @ 122MPH here in Calgary, AB which is 3500' ASL. I witnessed two Stage 3 SRT-4's humble everything from a lightly modded 993 Turbo to the venerable Ford GT (on street tires) this summer at Racecity. Love or hate, SRT-4's can be made ridiculously quick and are at their best from a roll. Stock SRT-4's were rated for 150MPH and if not for drag could probably hit much higher numbers when modded. Funny, so many S2000 owners rag on this car because of it's meager roots where most STi/EVO owners garner it due respect for what it can do.
Stage 1 on 03 models consisted of the stage 1 pcm along with upgraded injectors (580's). Stage 1 for 04 models and up consists of just the pcm as they already have the 580's from the factory. Stage two consists of an upgraded map and tip sensor along with 680 injectors and a stg2 pcm. Keep in mind both stage 1 and two still utilize the factory oil/water cooled turbo. Stage 3 upgrades to a TD05 turbo. The compressor (15GK2 portin) has minor diameter smaller than the 16G6 wheel. The turbine wheel (TD05 portion) is same across the family (in dimensions anyways) that I have been able to find / learn. Typically a stg 3 equipped srt will lay down around 340whp on pump gas and upwards of 380-400whp on HOM (high output mode) depending on the amount of additional goodies on the car, Larger FMIC, TB, Exhaust etc etc. Yes they are still neons but for the amount of power and torque u can extract out of these puppies and still daily drive it without worries is amazing. My srt4 was laying down 480whp from 6k miles on the odo until 32k when it was sold and it still ran like it did the day I purchased it. Hope this helped a lil.
