u had 4 races, who was raced and what results? its pitch black outside

If I worked it out correctly...

The first three were the S/C's. The S/C's won but I think the SRT-4 won one because it jumped early perhaps?

The last race was definitely the SS/TC and it won too.

first two where the same balt. thrid was the other sc and last was the tc. both sc lost but not by much like a car.

If the driver knows how to drive, a stage 2 SRT-4 with 2 step should be a very low 13 to high 12 second car. Nice runs!! At work now, but will watch the video later.

SRTrent

just a stage 2, probably not unless with slicks^

lulz at excuses and the SRT-4 beat the SS/SC's and lost to the SS/TC. good races though.

Zander916

Pay attention dude... they said so in the vid. They said he got the jump which COULD mean he launched better or it COULD mean he jumped early. That's also why I said "perhaps" in my other post. They didn't specify what they meant by it in the vid...

Good races! It was hard to see so yes I see the S/C Balts lost. Nice races though... all of them.

LOL. Yeah they were some fun races. I was the 1st two races. I missed second on the 1st run. The 2nd one I messed up my launch SO BAD, but i stuck right next to him the whole way and he didn't pull at all. The SRT-4 driver can drive very well. This was all some friends having some fun.

Thanks bro. It was cool. I wanted to see how well i'd do against a stage 2 skittle. I was happy in the end. It's cool cause he's a bud so we can try again cause I wanna do another dig race and a roll race. I'm sure our cars will be even on the roll race.

you do know stage 2 srt-4 are not fast at all, imo its a waste of money kinda like gm stage 2 custom setups are always better, good kill whoever won can't really tell haha

reign1

usually when people say stage 2 srt-4. it means mopar stage 2.

which is pretty quick

scottw03

So a 12.3 @ 112.24 1/4 mile, 7.9 @ 89.9 mph 1/8th mile Stage 2 Skittle isn't fast? (see sig)

LOL, I know what you mean though, a straight up S2 skittle only with no other mods other than the MOPAR stage 2, right? Yeah, some guys can get them to run good times. Low 13's, maybe high 12's with some sticky tires and 20 psi on the turbo and a awesome driver. I know Little MT on here got her almost stock SRT-4 (intake and sticky tires) to go 13.4. She has pics or vid to prove it.

turbo_chevy_cobalt

with my setup on my car right now on street tires i can run a 13.2 at 109. i know if i put slicks on i will be in the 12's. i know stage 2 skittles are quick. i have raced a few. i havent lost to a stage 2 yet but i dont think i have met a very good stage 2 driver yet.

The skittle is not just stage 2. IIRC it's mopar stage 2, intake, dp, 2 step, and cat back. The car is fast none the less. Mike are those mods correct on the skittle?

But i like the fact we're all cool wit each other and can test each other out every now and then. I respect the HP of the SRT-4, just not a big fan of the looks and handling thats all.

scottw03

No problem wagon, I hear ya on your opinion. I am the same way with the cobalt. Not trying to start a war or anything either. I like the cobalt, SC and TC, but the TC better. I like the 2 door but there are two things that would keep me from getting one: 1. I got a baby now and definitely need a 4 door car, so the SRT-4 fits that catagory perfect for me, 2. this is where I am not trying to start a war, but I think it looks a little ricey to me. Not a lot though, just on the verge of being ricey, but it still looks good don't get me wrong. Atleast it isn't the MUGEN Civic Si that is horribly riced out and yes, still zero engine performance increase. But for $30+ I am sure those honda owners are happy with it.

Being cool with each other is great. I loved it when I was overseas and we could run everything on the street and we were cool with each other. Evos, STi's, WRX, Skylines, you name it. Even ran a Ferrari while I was over there on the highway. The guys wife didn't look too happy.

But I respect the SC and the TC for the performance and power they give. Those are decent mods for the SRT-4. Becareful with him though, a few extra little mods and someway to tune the car will turn it into another beast. But obviously the same applies to you though.

Good races.

Definitely invest in some slicks. They were one of the best mods I did for my car. Traction was my major issue. I concentrated on making the car more powerful but never did any traction mods and my driving apparently sucked so I was stuck in the 13's for awhile. As soon as I started doing slicks and coilovers my times at the track dropped significantly, down to the time in my sig.

They will be worth every penny.

turbo_chevy_cobalt

yeah he has that i believe. i think he just needs more time racing to make the best out of his car.

yeah i would but with the brakes on my tc i can only go down to 17's. it sucks that i cant go smaller. i hoping to get stage 3 so i have been looking for some real good tires. rich are you going to the tnt this friday we need him to come with to see what he can do.

Thanks scottw03. I respect your opinion too. heck if we all thought the same way we'd all be driving the same thing and that'd be SOOO boring. It's not that i hate the looks of the Neon SRT-4, I've seen some really clean ones, I just personally prefer the Cobalt. Which is why I wanna up the looks also on the car cause there is still some factory things I hate.

I like the SC even more cause it's kinda the underdog. I'll admit the SC is a limiting factor on the car but I like to be diff then every single turbo car out here. I wanna be able to pull great times with the SC. I get alot of people thinking I'm turbo'd cause of how fast my car is. Alot of people here just don't know.

The cool thing is I still have alot of bolt on's left. I'm still on factory intake and cat back.

Yeah Mike I'll see about making it out there. I'd love to get some more drive time in to better my launches. I'll hit Darian up too.

turbo_chevy_cobalt

ok and maybe get some pics and videos of all of us.

berto

Ive been wanting t race a stage 2 SRT-4

SSfamilywagon

iTrader: (2)

Yeah that would be cool. i don't really have any of the sc going down the track.

As this vid shows, you should do well against one. The SS/TC was the winner in the end by about 1 1/2 cars

mike said he will video tape for us because he not racing.
