I can tell u now though, my CSRT would crush my SS/SC, so Im not very impressed with the GTO's. Too heavy of a car to be a good platform. Not to mention expensive as HELL to mod.

GTO's arent that great. I raced one in my SS/SC when I had it. 2.9", stage 2, GMPP exhaust, and I held dead even with him from a 40 ( he had a stock 6.0l ). Now, my car was freak, and I pulled multiple car lengths on my friends SS/SC who had the same exact mods at me.

you don't have to be heavy to have an interior...
My car is a bit over 2800, the cobalt is around 2900, rsx is about 2700. Those are normal econobox curb weights...The GTI (3200) and he Caliber (about 3200)....are heavier ones. To try and act like that's not the case, well I dunno what to tell you
Hell an Evo 9 is about 3200...but I can live with that because AWD components DEFINITELY add to the weight of a car...but a 3200 lb FWD econobox??? Hell no, that weight is simply...unjustified

we're talking about econoboxes....My car did mid 13's stock BTW. You took ONE example (the only one that ran high 14's) and used that...not a real good position to take in order to make a point
Like I said an AWD Evo 9 weighs about the same as a Caliber SRT...that's not acceptable for a FWD Econobox, no justification for that extra weight

if you say so....I don't care to argue with you really. There are plenty of videos and slips of stock ones doing mid 13's...but I'll just let you win this one (you like to argue, and I don't really care to prove anything to you which is pretty common knowledge)

I like to argue with fanboys and you seem to fit the bill perfectly. I am not alone in saying you are full of **** when it comes to stock SRT-4's running id 13's this argument is so 2005 it isn't even funny.
