haha, the dudes you "raced" were probly talking to their girls with the A/C on not even looking at you. An 05 Gt will walk an srt-4...you can't be serious.

Beg to differ.

I had an extremely good race in my stock SRT-4 with an 05 GT. In Fact, Girth, resident SVTPer and 03 Cobra owner was with me. The guy was driving the shit outta the car and he could NOT pull on me. Yes, it was from a roll, my car's strong point, but we went to pretty high speeds and I was right there beside him. :banana:

We all know mod for mod Cobras will beat us up take our lunch money and hang us out to dry. Whoever is arguing against that is outta their minds. It's 10 times easier to make huge power out of a cobra. Hell you get 25hp from a $159 FIPK!!!! Lets not even get to top mods, where 550hp kbs are common place.

"05 gts are big,heavy,slow turds" what a buddy of mine here in vegas who owns a 600+hp 04 Terminator said just yesterday at his shop.Ill borrow a friends stock srt and race any stock 05 gt you throw at me and OWN them.

I'm gonna' go ahead and call bullshit here.
The fastest stock SRT4's are running high-13's with a very few squeaking into the 13.5-13.7 range...which is about on par with an automatic '05 GT.
'05 GT's have gone 13.3 with a 5-speed automatic, bone stock.
Well driven 5-speed manuals are mid-13 second cars.
So a stock SRT4 "walking" an '05 GT is :bs: unless the guy couldn't drive worth a damn.

Have to agree. My buddy from college has an 05 GT 5spd and we raced from a dig and from rolls. He would pull about a car on me from 40mph to 125mph. My best run was a 13.8 @ 101mph while his best run was a 13.6 @ 103.7mph. I think that we are both better then average drivers so both bone stock the 05GT 5spd wins.

I have been in my friend's Srt -4 (b4tn) and I have respect for it. It is a pretty quick car, seems like it would be a blast to drive (but u know he would never let me. Guess its the same for my car tho too) The only thing I see him ever having problems with is traction. All-in-all I think the srt-4 is a pretty neat little car, mad respect for it, but in the end I would never give up my cobra for one. -end of story-

LMAO the only reason you guys have lunch money is because of fuel economy!

Hey, I was wrong about something. In theory my top speed should be 171. I actually topped it out last week on a dyno and it started backfiring (redline) at 162mph, so, if anyone wants to attempt winning that way, its not quite as hard as I made it out to be.
