kind of a stupid question but i did a short 3rd gear pull against my brothers friends srt4 for fun, it has an aftermarket wastegate and all i have (that i know) is a filter. lol... I stayed very very close to him and had we run out 4th gear i think i would have pulled away. Not sure that a stock 225q should be that "quick" i need a boost gauge cuz im starting to wonder if i am chipped already.
thoughts?

 

I'm embarrassed that you're even asking about racing a Dodge Neon.

 

+1!

That's really not something to be concerned about. Even if the srt pulls the qt mile in 8 secs, it's still a neon.
Take your bro to the track and all he'll ever see is your REAR quattro badge.

 

I don't know guys, SRT4s are pretty quick from a roll. They have potential and shouldn't be overlooked when it comes to TT competition.

But it is still just a neon with no refinement or class

 

^ agreed. my thing is how come they are so cheap to make fast.

 

^ bc theyre grapefruit sized turbo's are pushed to the max. i think it's 18psi stock?

and just because some cars are just "civics" and "neons", alot of them can pwn your silly stock TT's. but at the end of the day, they are just that, civics and neons = [&o]

 

Even though they can be quick, I'd rather be beaten by a Civic or Neon than be the owner of one!

 

SRT-4's are surprisingly quick when modded. I used to own one and for some reason no one seems to believe it. I had an upgraded intercooler, downpipe, exhaust, stage 2 turbo system, etc. That thing was a freakin BEAST.

However ... I do believe a stock 225 would be really close to a stock SRT

 

yeah, but who leaves 'em stock

 

I think from a stop the srt4 would actually win. Those are pretty quick and pretty ugly. heh
