TL vs. SRT-4

so on the way home tonight from a quick walmart stop, a kid in an SRT-4 is tailing me like no tomorrow. he finally gets beside me and flags me down and wants a quick race (prob cause his buddies were in the car, trying to show off). so we go from a 40 mph roll. three honks and i'm gone. what an idiot right? once i punch it, i'm already in vtech. so then i slow down and he wants to go again from a 40mph roll. he's pissed cause his buddies are all laughing at him. same thing. by the time he caught up i was done racing for the night. haha ahhh that made my night.

i mean, as you can see in my signature, i don't have all that much modded on my car. all i really have done is a CAI and exhaust, but i guess that's enough to leave a SRT-4 in the dust.

if you were wondering, i hit 115 on the first run, and 135 the second.

Well he mentioned that he had buddies in the car. That is extra weight right there. That is a killer; especially for turbo 4 bangers. If the SRT was stock, then yes I believe him.

Who cares if one of those things beats you anyway. It's still a freakin' Neon at the end of the day.

Does being that they raced on a roll mean that the TL has an advantage, or the SRT-4 should still be faster on a roll?

in theory, the srt4 should just take it. but if the srt4 and tl are on a roll, and the tl is in 2nd right before vtech, while the srt is in 2nd maybe 3rd .. the tl will pull away due to the vtech kicking in.

pft, i don't care. i ate that srt4 up

And that's a bad thing how??? Last I checked, an Accord had 100X the curb appeal, class, reliability of the Neons that kids drive their Freshman year of college.


(Although technically, I don't see/feel an Accord when I look at or drive 3rd Gen TL's. 2nd Gen, much more so)
