911 vs. 03 vs. SRT4

03SoCalCobra · Dec 25, 2003

On my way home a few nights back from a friends house, driving down Pacific Coast Hwy, not really paying attention when a dark blue SRT4 comes zooming up, pauses briefly, then zips off. I wasn't really in a racing mood, then a new silver 911 Carrerra S something goes cruising by, appearently after the SRT and completely oblivious to the Cobra.

Well now, we can't let that happen without some Ford representation.

Long story short, I lost both through some light traffic (stuck behind a slow driver

). 10 minutes later come up to a 3 lane intersection which narrows down to 2 lanes and guess who are are in the first two lanes. The SRT sees me coming and graciously moves over into the 3rd lane to give me center spot :beer:

Light goes and we're off. I produce probably the single best launch since i've own the car, completely to my suprise. Spinning somewhat through first, I put a car on the SRT and the Porsche. Bang second and still have fair traction, the SRT is hanging well but fading; the Porsche not so well. Going into 3rd, where we all let off, I had 2+ cars on the SRT. The Porsche was absolutly obliterated by both the Neon and I. :rockon:

Congrats to the Dodge; those SRT4's put up a supprisingly good fight- about as well, if not a tad better than a stock C5.

sweet run :thumbsup:

but a SRt-4 is nowhere near a c5 stock.

Dito.

Good kill though!

Good kill on the porsche and neon. But I agree with Jamies post. sorry but you gotta be on drugs to think an stock srt is just as fast or faster than a stock C5. SRT viper, of course. SRT Neon, maybe if you gave the vette two flat tires and had ozzy osborne driving.

I think he was saying that the SRT-4 hung with him as good as a stock C5 would've...which to me indicates that the SRT was nicely-tuned/modded.

Either way, the Porsche driver must've been in some shock, getting destroyed by not only a Mustang, but a Neon to boot...at the same time!!

Yeah- No one said the SRT was stock.

I somewhat agree, stock for stock LS1 is faster than a SRT, but I don't think two flat tires and Ozzy driving will be necessary. Put $750 into the SRT , and it'll be running with stock LS1s.

BTW, good kills

if you are talking about the new carrera 4s it should have stomp the srt-4, " maybe the srt-4 " has some mod's and that's why it was putting a good fight up with you, now i can see a stock 2003 cobra walking the carrera 4s, well good kill's :beer:

Jamie33 · Dec 26, 2003

guys im not saying the SRT-4 was stock...

all im saying is the stock SRT-4 should not be compared to a stock C5...since the c5 is much quicker and a completely different car.

im sure with some BPU upgrades, the SRT-4 could be a quick little car

if the post had read "that SRT-4 pulled me harder than most c5's"
i would have not brougth this up

Srt-4s are going to surprise lots of people that don't drive the 03 Cobra. Everything else better come with mods cause the car is light and from a roll they are sick and are going to bruise some egos if they are modded.

SRT must have been modded, nice kills.

Grey03Cobra · Dec 26, 2003

Two kills at the same time,nice job:-D

69gt4speed · Dec 26, 2003

Nice kills, :beer: I bet they remember your car from now on.;-)

For the price, the Srt-4 is a great buy. My friend got his Srt-4 fully loaded for 21k. He has a Mopar BOV on it and it sounds like a beast. He is nowhere near beating me, but i have to admit they are pretty quick cars. If i had 20k to spend i would definitely get one. In his car we have burned numerous imports and even some stock mustang gt's. LS1's will eat him by a good 1.5-2carlenghts. It may just be a neon, but dont take them for granted if you see one next to you at a light.

TRDNiteLife · Dec 27, 2003

Good kills.

Let's not get into these hypothetical arguements.

"Run what you brung."

03SoCalCobra · Dec 28, 2003

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the SRT4 was probably modded.

It did have at least a different exhaust and I don't recall hearing the stock BOV as I did in with this one, but I have very limitied exposure to them so who knows. In any event, the one I did race before didn't hang nearly this well which is why I was suprised.

And don't get your panties in a wad- keep in mind it was just to the bottom of 3rd; a very short race. Stock 0-60, the C5 is 4.9 sec and the Dodge 5.2-5.3 sec.. So a modded SRT4 should be able to keep up easily with a C5 (or stock 03/04) through the first 2 to 3 gears, then the real winner will emerge fairly quickly.

I wish I could have seen the porshe drivers face when a dodge neon started to walk away.:lol:
I would love to have one because I would have it way in the 12s in the first week.

That pretty much clears everything up. Good kills nonetheless.
