TL vs. SRT4

My 04 6spd TL w/ XLR8 catback & RV6-P V3 J-Pipe vs 6spd SRT8
Not sure if that car was stock or not, though it had a pretty loud turbo blow off valve sound.
Please ignore the background music.. lol.

that's pretty impressive seeing the numbers for the caliber srt4 and its weight

Engine & Performance
Base engine size: 2.4 L
Cam type: Double overhead cam (DOHC)
Cylinders: inline 4
Valves: 16
Valve timing: Variable
Torque: 265 ft-lbs. @ 6000 rpm
Horsepower: 285 hp @ 6000 rpm
Curb weight: 3189 lbs.
your TL weighs 300LBS more than the caliber, about 30HP and 20TQ less at the crank.

im surprised what just a j-pipe and cat-back system can do

--

i just noticed, it has about the same HP as the TL-S, +10 TQ, and 400 LBS less than the Type-S.

that fucker should be fast!

It was a hard kill, but I think the J-pipe/catbak combo gives a real boost.
I forgot to mention, but I also have the UR Crank Pulley, though I don't think that pulley provides any significant gains, but just so you know.
I know the Caliber SRT4 specs are pretty impressive, but I'm not all that surprised that I killed it, because:

I have raced my cousin's 06 G35 Sedan 6spd (Stock):
60-100mph roll: My TL leads by half a car length
The specs for G35 sedan 6spd are:
Base engine size: 3.5 L
Cam type: Double overhead cam (DOHC)
Cylinders: V6
Valves: 24
Valve timing: Variable
Torque: 260 ft-lbs. @ 4800 rpm
Horsepower: 298 hp @ 6400 rpm
Curb weight: 3472 lbs.
I have also raced an Infinit M45, the results for which were pretty interesting. You are talking about a 325HP V8 that weighs around 4000lbs. We did a roll from 60-120mph (in safe conditions with no traffic on Highway). The M45 initially takes the lead, but as soon as I shift into 4th gear, my TL starts closing on the gap. By 120mph, both cars were going side by side. I wish I could have video taped this.

I had aem v2 cai, rv6 v3 jpipe, and altp non res exhaust on my 07 auto TL-S. She would light the tires up in a heartbeat, BUT I have an 07 M45S also but it "feels" like night a day between the two. The 335 ft lbs of tq in the M45 is amazing! As fast as my TL-S was, I know my stock M45S would beast her!

Somehow, while the gear was completely engaged, the SRT4 driver managed to screw up? He must have been feathering the clutch mid gear

It's clear in the video that the TL was pulling (very slightly) while both cars were in gear, before and after the shift for both drivers.
