Last night around 8:30pm I saw a black 2g behind a black Srt at the lights by the AMC at 401 and Hwy10.

Seemed pretty equal. Srt was infront the whole time, but the Talon was behind him at the start of the race.

Anyone from here?

If he was behind, then it wasn't me

But I was going to kitchener yesterday, not oakville, so that would be impossible anyways.

It was actually a 95/96 Talon
I know what yours looks like Noah, it wasn't you.

it was ME! i'm totally new to this forum this is my first post... i read this thread and realized you were talking about me then i registered.


anyway, yeah i started off behing this guy cause there was a car in the other lane, he hit it off the line and i hit it after him got in the other lane and we just went at it.... i'm on a newly swapped 6bolt running 10psi on my 14b with out any other mods other then a hacked up exhaust and intake.

i was pretty happy with the result he didnt pull me by much and i know it would of been different if i got AWD lunch on him

oh yeah but my car is green!!! people sometimes think its black at night.

I'll give those cars credit for what they are. I really enjoy them. Two of my friends own them. But they are very picky. Once you start doing little upgrades, ive seen some of them go slower than stock. Stupid OBD2. And a very smart computer. Thank god I dont have to deal with that.

Might have been me. Who knows. That was so long ago.

If anyone is interested in how there car will run against a srt-4 in Durham area just let me know. Win or lose I don't much care, just doing some tuning and I want to know how I fare against the beloved Talon.

I am in the market for a awd tsi 92-94, so if you know anyone selling.

Mods on my srt include wga, intake, mbc, mapclamp, w/i.

And for those who are wondering, yes it's a Neon and I can't stand the other SRT-4 owners who think it's not!!! For christ sake, look at it!!

Later

I like brady...go neon!

The Neon's are good on the HWY but off the line
they suck A$$ , I ran a guy with Stage2. Off the line with the AWD we have the advantage, on the HWY these things are quick the Moded ones anyway.

The guy with the Stage2 was comming hard in 3rd but when I went into 4th 1/4 was over and I had him by 2 cars, I didnt even launch that hard

I have to agree, the awd is an animal off the line. Nice run Yasar.

I like the srt 4 a bit and test drove one. Havne't raced against any yet. Sure will sooner or later.
I think if they offered them two door and awd they might sell even better but also hear this is last year for them or is there a 2006 model or what? Can't see why they would drop the car thought they were selling decent. The neon is getting a bit old in the tooth though so maybe they just want a nice new replacement for it. And maybe that one will be offered in 2 door awd flavor just in case someday decide to sell my 2g and go newer.
As it is now only awd turbo thats serious competition is the subaru sti and wrx stuff and its also 4 door and pretty ugly although it does sort of grow on you after awhile. I would mabye by a wrx for winter driver but my 2g is too pretty to be put thru our crappy Sask winters.

One thing have to say is met a srt 4 fan a day or so ago and he is telling me his buddies now totallled off stage 3 ran 10s. I don't really believe that. Also seen a lot of wild time claims for stock turboed srt 4 and find it hard to believe them either. Anyone can pick up someone elses timeslip.

Hi Allan, this year (2005) is the last year of the srt-4. The Razor will probably replace it with the same engine and tranny. RWD though. I wish an awd would come out....but it is a two door.

A stage 3 srt-4 running 10s is more than slightly hard to believe. Depending on his other mods and what type of slicks he was running 11's are possible. If it is stage 3 w/toys then 355hp on 110 octane with the borla exhaust with no other mods. Not bad, but far from pulling 10's. With 2900lbs you better be making around 450whp and put down atleast a 1.8s 60' time to even think about running low 11's. Hard to do unless you have awd or big slicks.

Best run with the stock turbo w/mods I've personally have seen has been a 12.68.

Big turbos run into the 11's. (GT30R's and GT35R's)

Are you talking about that little 2 door roadster? That project was canned afaik.
The neon replacement is called the caliber and its some kinda awd mini suv or some crap like that.

I saw a srt4 stock run 14.1 at the track down at the dsm shoot out last year. He had the hood up and we talked with him for a bit.

As far a stage 2 or 3 it depends alot on grip and a good driver to take it off the line. In the low 12's for sure with slicks.

A buddy of mine's GF (he said she's an awesome driver) did a 13.7 in a bone stock SRT-4. This isn't PROVEN but I don't see why he'd say that to me if it wasn't the case. Who knows.

one persons interpretation of stock is anothers interpretation of modded.

Guy was telling me that he ran 13.5 with his stock 89 Mustang. I called BS, and after his ego allowed it and he realised that I had actually raced a few times, he let on that he had a 3.73 limited slip, sticky rubber h-pipe with flowmasters and a K&N.

"but its still stock inside..."

this pertains to the SRT4 because with most of the performance options you can't even see the mods, and with race gas in there(not stock fuel for sure) you could gain alot.

I've seen an srt4 run against a mean looking orange muscle car that was kicking the crap out of these little civics. Anyway, this guys laughing at the civics, and then out of distant corner, the crowd went silent after hearing the ppsssshhhh!. We all looked and saw this nice silver srt4 slowing down and the crowed went wild. Mr. Muscle car dude said bring it on. He did, and won. Muscle car dude got really "T'd off" and made some stupid excuse about a bad the srt guy cutting him off or something. Later on that night, I asked the guy about his mods. He replied, seat belt pads. aother than that, pure stock running 8 psi.

I would love to test drive the srt4, but however I would not consider purchasing one. My Talon just might accuse me of cheating on her and expensive parts may start breaking

a local here runs 13.xx with the stage 2 and a fwe minor goodiez

I played with an SRT-4 on the highway in my stealth (twin turbo,AWD)... actually kept up better than most camaro's etc. but after playing I put a few cars on him... God I miss my stealth... sitting in the driveway with a spun bearing. I even put DSM intercoolers on her (with a bit of modification) Oh well... rebuilding my 92TSi AWD now. Back to the talon game. Stealth costs too much.
