I'm sorry for posting a loss but you can't win them all. This a story of a little TL that couldn't beat a Neon

Roll race from 2nd gear and I got EMBARRASSED!!! lol from the time it took me to reach 3rd gear he was like 3 cars ahead I pulled up next to him and asked if he was running a little extra boost, the guy smiled and said "a little extra" lol cool dude and a wicked fast Neon!

Shit I need a turbo but 6g's is out of my league

Ihatecars - I need your car for about an hour lol

 

Good death...!

 

I'm sure he had more than "a lil extra" under his engine. At least he wasn't cocky.

 

he wasn't stock thats for sure. You guys would have been neck and neck if he was stock. I had a similar loss like you when I raced a SRT-4 stage 2. From a 45MPH roll to about 70MPH he had me by 2-3 cars easy! that where my car shines too lol. those little SRT-4s are crazy fast!

 

Oh I knew he wasn't stock, it sounded pretty damn good but I was curious lol and curiosity killed the TL!

 

LOL jp. Yea those little SRT4s can be fast with hardly any mods, similar to the WRXs. I had one at DPA that was packed out and still slightly pulled on me! Good loss tho, they are very torquey too! If it was a 3rd gear pull it might've been a lil closer but minimal mods to those things and they can be beasts.

 

^ how come your time is faster then alexSU, but his MPH is faster?

 

those are very fast. light car w/ boost. all you can do it tip ur hat. or add your own blower

 

a better launch probably

 

Before my son had his Altima, he used to run is 98 Civic and always seemed to run agains SRT4s.....getting smoked routinely. This was the main reason why he went FI with the Civic. It's really too bad the turbo kit made soup of the D16Y8...it definitely had the potential to return the favor to the SRT4. (He still gets beat at the track by SRT4s -- in his 3.5SE -- but the margin of defeat is fairly close now.)

More towards the topic, the Neon based SRT4 was one of the best bangs for the buck during its time (as was the 03-04 Cobra at its peformance level).

 

I think our launches were pretty similar too. You can run 14.0 @110 if you have a bad launch with a powerful car. I trapped 3 times 100+, best of 100.82, but the launches weren't as good so the times were a tad slower. That's why a good launch is so important!

^^And the 03-04 Cobra is a car I will own before I perish..I love that car

 

My launches could be better lol I think my best 60' was like 2.25 so I have room to improve. One reason is grip, I had crappy all season tires that didn't hook up worth shit! I know I could squeeze out at least a 14.2@100 I'll go back to the track in November and see what I can do.

I just want to match sonnicks time before he sets a new record lol but I'll need CAI and J-Pipe to do that

 

Lol. You may not need those

My best 60' was a 2.247, basically dead on. We both have room for improvement, so let's do it!!

Oh..and kudos for posting a loss

 

srt-4's have more torque than horsepower. HP 240 tor 260. and the older ones are -10 for both.

 

Stock I probably would've kept up but this little sucker had some extra boost lol

 

if it was stock vs. stock, it depends. but i love of how the exhaust sounds on that car, the popping and crackling sound.

Not surprise at all neon's are light weight compare to our cars...even tho that car mite run 8 lbs of boost our is just N/A .... but if the tl looses weight then its a different story

 

SRT-4's are fast from roll too I believe. Even if it was stock it would still beat your Accord V6 easy cause:

- you got worse power to weight ratio
- Yours is automatic with tall gears.

 

i got a friend who owns a SRT-4 that thing is crazy fast beat me off the line but it is a stage 3 turbo in his ride but shit dont mess with them SRT-4

 

i posted awhile ago abuot racing my buddy who has a stock srt-4. he easily had me from a 40 roll. although from 40 i had him until the top of second, by third he easily caught up and by the end of third he was a good 3-4 cars on me.

 

^ Did you have any mods?

 

^^ LOL put your TL on diet

 

Yeah those little SRT-4s are quick. Nice try tho! Throw some boost in, then ask him to race!! :P

 

With boost (turbo), I'll be asking an M5 to race me lol

 

Old or new M5? hehehe

 

Haha!!! I dont care who I race, I race anything. I raced a maserati and a lambo last week in the same day :P

 

Why didn't you report your shame?

 

I was meaning to, just never got around to it.

 

i dont consider that a race

u gotta switch the C with a P for those

 

give me the V10 sir lol

 

Not exactly M5 V10 but here you go, take your pick:

racing a lambo and a maserati ? screw that its not call racing lol thats called getting a beat down never would race them cars make myself look stupid lolz but good death lolz BTW how much u lost by? u probably need to add a TT stage 3 to ur car just to try and keep up to them

 

^ lol

 

Oh it was fun tho, the maserati was on the highway and he was gaining right from the get go. The lambo was jokes, It was a second gear pull for me starting at 70km/h and he was with his son having a blast when we were pulling eachother to try and start it lol He started in 3rd and stayed beside me the whole time till 170km/h then he started pulling me hard.

Turbo is the last thing I will be doing to my car after all the boltons are complete (and i save up enough). Then it will be more exciting to race cars like that.

Its all about having fun whether u win or lose. Both drivers had a good time.

 

GL with that, you need to finish college first, then find a good job (while staying single)....A complete good setup for boosted car will cost you easily from 9G+

 

Oh Im completely aware of how much its going to run me. I could have it done this winter but Im not dipping into my savings to put a turbo in my car, theres no return value for anything you do to a car. Been saving ever since I had my first job... not for a turbo tho. Thats going toward a down payemnt of a house.
