well its about time, i got a crack at one tonight, took him from a dig and from a roll. From a dig put about 5 cars on him to about 80. From a roll about 3 cars at about 90, tried a fly by too but i just let him go, he got the point.....im happy i got a chance at one of these there pretty rare around here

my bad i didnt even read it. man you should have beaten him you out power and trq him all around they arnt that fast. and you cant be that much heavier than him
Nice kill. I'm really surprised you beat him, and by how much you beat him. Those things usually run low 14's stock, and auto GT's usually run mid 14's stock. And from a roll those things are usually deadly, but nice kill none the less.
I belive you took him from a dig but from a roll I don't think so. Both cars have about the same whp but the SRT-4 weighs much less and has top end and more high rpm pull vs a GT.
I'm not saying I dont believe it, I'm just saying from experience and me owning a GT with an automatic, I cant believe he won from a roll. I've raced a couple SRT 4's from rolls and got beat by about 4 cars up til about 90 from 40. I've never had the priviledge of racing one from a dig. I just think it would take more than a few bolt ons and a tune to beat one by 3 or 4 cars from a roll. From a dig I think he could probably beat one by a couple of cars. An SRT 4 being a 14.0-14.2 second car, I think with his mods and tune he could be low 14's too.

maybe he wasnt a good driver? idk just passing along the story........he makes 230hp? so what would that be at the wheels?.....im putting 249 to the wheels and i have the 4.10's i would be pretty pissed if i didnt win

Yeah your right about the numbers, and I believe stock, GT's put down about 230-235, and SRT 4's put down about 210 or alittle more, and SRT 4's can beat GT's. Hell, I've raced a 92 5.0 GT in my Celica GTS and I beat him. He has what, 225hp, compared to my 180, but I only weigh 2500lbs in my Celica. Yeah hp does make a difference in races, but when a car weighs over 3,000lbs and another weighs 2500 or so, that makes more of a difference. Aint it, every 100lbs is like .1 seconds?
yeah i'm not feeling the roll one either because if you beat him by that much i need to see proof or BS!
What proof do you need to see? THe guy wasted a srt4 in a nicley modified gt....srt4s are quick but they aint that fast.
Your right too, but an automatic GT with a few bolt on's beating an SRT 4 from a roll, and by like 3 cars, thats a bad driver mod. Not taken anything away from the GT, since I own one myself, but hey, a win is a win.
