Troll Hall i-Club doesn't ban trolls. Instead, we just lock them up here. Watch out! Troll patrol is in the house!

O.t.: Wrx - 1 / Srt4 - 0

i gotta see it to believe it
The Dodge boys like to lean on the fact that factory muscle cars back in the day were usually underreported for insurance purposes. Right now the leading belief is that they sent ringers to the mags. SCC got like 220 at the wheels- and basically said they thought they got a ringer.

SRTDriven is gone....

hehehe.. kinda reminds me of when Neo flies away from his multi-agent Smith fight.

I'm not going to include myself in this banter, but I must say.... this has to be one of the most entertaining threads ever!

kinda boring now without the SRT guy huh?

Put a WRX on slicks with a full turbo back and watch what happens.

Yeah, if you're clutch dropping. But you don't get too many chances to perfect that.

This message is for SRTDriven, I live in Mission Viejo too, used to live pretty close to Lake Forest and Rockfield and I never saw you, I did however see another silver SRT-4 and he wanted to race me, pretty close to there... from around 2nd gear 30mph, we both punched it and up to 65 I had about a car and a half on him, I let off at that point since I don't like getting tickets and don't wanna be some reckless rice, and he let off too. Tell you the truth even I was surprised considering I'm AWD and racing a FWD with close to equal power from a roll. My point is if you ever wanna race pick a safe spot and let me know. I'm very interested in seeing if you're truly faster than a WRX. BTW, I'm not that modded, typical exhaust, intake, etc.

AWD is only an advantage from a standing start.

That's what I mean, if 2 cars with around the same hp race from a roll and one is FWD and the other is AWD, I'd put my money on the FWD. From a standstill, no contest... AWD RULES!

talk talk talk.

i have it on video

SRT4 VS. RS(w/ WRX engine)

Results: 2 runs...

first run... RS bogs at the line and never recovered

second run... SRT4 gets 10 feet at the beginning and lost by 2 car lengths.

it wasn't a 'true 1/4' but long enough...

SRT4 also lost twice to a 318 BMW w/ an M3 engine.

i have the videos... i'll post tommorow sometime.

I agree, it's not too bad looking, starting to grow on me, and since the Chevy dealership my bro works at is next to a Dodge dealer, every time I stop by at least one is taken out for a test drive and of course the driver floors it away from the dealer and it sounds decent for stock, has an agressive sound to it. So Subydude, do you have that video to show us?

If I wanted a drag only car I would buy a freakin real muscle car with a 454 in it. It would be cheaper than a SRT and handle just as ****ty. Get your domestic **** out of our forums grr!!!
