Went out again this past Sat. was fun as usual! ran some civics.. usual spanking. Ran a dodge 1500ram, that was fun, got the jump on him, he started to pull up a little in second but i started walkin in 3rd and kept on in 4th, was quite surprised he held pretty well! Went up against a mod'd Hemi Magnum.. wow, ok.. so i got the jump on him pretty hard, but good god this thing just walked right by me! lots of respect to that! Another run was what i thought was a basic new Altima...wrong.. 3.5L maxima.. ouch that beating hurt lol! those 2 were the downsides, now for the real fun one... an SRT-4. From a dig this Blue SRT-4 pulled up and started revin, nice little whistle, so i gave a nice rev of my whine, he seemd to have an impressed look on his face so we both nodded in agreement, few seconds later the light turned green, we both hammered down both squeeled the tires and once we hooked it was just awesomeness, pulled and pulled and just took it home he actually came up next to me and gave me respectable thumbs up. Honestly thought an SRT-4 would take a GTP, guess i was wrong.



Stay tuned till next week! lol, I'm going start writing a weekly article.

Sounds a lot like the crap all the ricers pull here.

if they keep going, Ima keep goin lol. Plus it was nice and cold, 41*. I don't bog it out. And as for the SRT4, who knows could have been a crap shift or needed a driver mod alltogether.

Good kills man. The ram 1500 trucks are pretty good for what they are. Mine has stock 392 gears, exhaust, and inake. She's given some a run for there money.

Nice kills

Dude, 4th gear, must have been a hell of a stretch of road..... I dont think Ive ever had it pinned all the way to fourth, and Im well over a hundred before that happens.

SRT 4 should have walked you. Where the hell u go? I can't catch a race to save my life in Houston.....then again it sounds like I would be wasting my time, gas, and tires.

I've raced a handful of SRT-4's both in CO, and WA. Seems like everyone has one. Had a buddy with a stage 2 that I whooped on until he got used to driving it, then I would just get him at launch until the end of second. Another buddy had lots done, so it was quite embarrasing and then a few other stock that I've beat. With those I've heard that they take a bit of skill and patience to drive, but I have never driven one so I cound't say for sure.

with 293 gears (i think thats what they are) 3rd wont shift to 4th till about 140mph. even with my 329 gears 3rd dont shift to 4th till 125mph. going that fast i hope you aint got many deer out there!! it would suck to hit one at that speed, problew would even be fatel.

its slow.

2 weeks ago one of my cousin's friends got killed when a driver in the other lane hit a deer, which was knocked into the other lane, went thru the windshield, hit him which broke his neck and killed him instantly. Thats a s**ty way to go. Neither car was speeding at that time. Just imagine if they were.

Ninjo, if you still have your stock PCM then you will govern out long before 4th gear comes at all. Nice kills though. I think that SRT4 couldn't drive either. Those things are high 13 sec. cars stock.
