Well today is one of those damn nice days, suns out, everyone and there mother is doing something outside/going somewhere. Im going my normal route through town (which happens to be two highways) - 1st a red riced out civic comes up from behind me insanely fast, then just paces next to me.... I dont ever start things.... but my plates seem to grab everyones attention. There is no car infront of him, and one in front of me, he takes off, so i get behind him (in 5th cruising mind you), get into the other lane, and mash it - took all of two seconds to hit full boost, and create a 4-5 car lenth distance. He does the standard ricer fly by as soon as i hit my brakes, as I'm easily in the 100's on a 55 mph road. He is a good 3 cars in front of me, going the same route to get to the second highway, needlesss to say, due to traffic i end up right next to him at a stop light. I figured i had put him in his place once, thats enough - but no, light turns green - off he goes, expecting a race. I floor first gear, and end up a good 2 car lengths ahead. Just now i realize there is some bastard tailgating me like no other. Once there is an opening in traffic a blue Neon SRT4 takes off trying to get around me... needless to say he had to hold up traffic to get let into the merging lane for the highway. HAha, Now im on a major highway, that is slightly congested but opens up to 3-4 lanes in about a mile. Both the civic and the neon continually attmpt to pass me... with no avail - eventually the civic takes an off ramp and leaves me and the neon. The free way goes from having minor traffic, to nothing - he pulls up next to me, we look at each other - and both seemlessly downshiift, i dont know what he did, but i went from 5th to 4th, and stayed about .5 a car length ahead of him for a good .5 mile. I brake, as my exit is approacing quickly, and he flies by. So in conclusion: My plates just draw attention, but **** i have an exhaust leak and am only running .5 bar of boost.... still no problem showing these two clones there place. Ahh, i feel accomplished. Just thought i would share.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I told you nick that ******* plate was going to draw attention to you...so what is up with the mustang that wants to race?

Nothing yet, going to race eventually. How much $ should I put up? I doubt i will loose, but it would be nice to wait until tuned (early april) - so i can utterly rape him... muhahaha!



~Sirrelix

oops, double post, damn browser! sorry.

I was hoping you totally massacred the SRT-4, but ohh well you still showed him whos boss. Nice kills.

haha.. i need personalized plates https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

his car will destroy an srt with out much a problem but like he said hes only on .5 bar with an exhaust leak. The car still pulls but the few times that we have turned the boost to 14psi its just nasty...that and sirrelix isn't that experienced at racing yet..but do not worry have allen race him for you...and you will also get plenty of practice when I get home next year. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

Haha, hey now! Im much better now. Allen just recently taught me how to properly launch.... muhahaha i cant wait to use it at the strip.

Good killz, the srt-4 must of been pretty quick.

The Z06 is still a Corvette

The Firehawk is still a firebird

The SVT cobra mustang is still a mustang

They made a srt4 out of a neon its called a neon srt4.

They still fall apart @ 80k

They look like a neon

They still run like a neon





conclusion : IT"S A NEON SRT4

shut up its not a neon, its a high powered sports car called an srt4

I have one question. WHY, other than the obvious POS association with the 'normal' Neons, are SRT-4 owners SO reluctant to admit that it is, in fact, a NEON-based car?



Carol Shelby never denied that he took the body from an AC to build what became his powerhouse namesake. I realize that the SRT isn't quite in that same league, but it IS a Neon body, interior and some other components, right?



No one (at least not me) is trying to say that these cars roll up in a parking lot and say "Hi." like those dumbassed commercials from years back. All we're trying to say is that we know where they came from.



My guess is that you would rather say you got beaten by an "SRT-4", which sounds kind of cool rather than say, "I got my ass handed to me by a Neon".



I hope I'm not too close to the mark, but methinks I'm on to something.

i dont care what anyone says, its not a neon.

He he. It's ok. I guess we should have understood your position since you drive a Mazda 'Vert. (Note: NOT an RX-7...just a 'Vert.). They LOOK like RX-7s, they have RX-7 interiors BUT, they just aren't RX-7s.

if it looks like a duck... and it quacks like a duck..... it's a ****** duck.

its a totally different car, it has a different engine and different wheels

ok you guys im just messing around, there was a thread here a while back where there was a big arguement about the srt4 being a neon and it is definitely a neon. i was just trying to get you guys going.





i guess that thread got lost in the hack

[/quote]It doesnt matter cause neons suck on street tires went it comes down to racing heads up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Thats why all the footage you see of neons racing are 99% on the highway



-no offense but aint no SRT-4 beating an rx7 on true street tires

(no drag radials)

oh..



ROFLMAO

I have a buddy that has a SRT-4, they are really pretty sick for what they are a suped neon. But he has a Gt35/40 turbo, equal length headers, 1'st gen talon BOV, Stage 2 cams, 8mm wires, FMIC, i think 720 CC inj, Apexi AFCR, Greddy Boost controler, greddy turbo timer, short shifter, 245/45/17 tires, intake, full exhaust no cat, a inovative wideband, and a carbon fiber hood.

Well in anycase it runs a flat 12 as is. I dont care what anyone says that fast as ****.

just did a little research a SRT-4 is only about 2900 Lbs, and all 04 Srt-4's come with a LSD.

My balls are two different sizes.
