Good reading on the SRT forums....

Man, I respect ALL fast cars, but this new fast and furious generation really has no clue.

Congradulations! You beat a 1999 Mustang GT with a body kit and a loose belt!

Oh man that boy opened up a can of worms didn't he?

It's not that SRT-4s are slow, but some of their drivers sure are slow in the mental dept. (No offense to Silver Bullit and ACRucrazy, you guys are fast in car and mind)

In all fairness (for those who didn't actually read the thread), the SRT-4 owners are making fun of the kid who is bragging up beating the "modded 04 Cobra."

I don't know much about SRT's as far as what the hell a stage I, II, or III is, but I do know there are some quick ones out there. But anyone that knows anything about cars, know the OP of that thread is a complete tool!

They're different packages from Mopar. The "Stage I" is a set of larger injectors and a few little tweaks that are included in the 2004 SRT-4's.

The Stage II is a set of bolt ons that put them in the 250-ish horsepower range, and more than anything else, aid in consistency and flattening out the torque curve.

The Stage III business is even more bolt ons... The "Stage III" cars are pretty quick. When I was at the dealer his pitch was, "Yeah, this is the second fastest car Dodge sells. Of course, if you option it with the Stage III add-ons it becomes the fastest car we sell."

Yes, the MS-Paint school of art.

Here's my degree...

I like how he knew what mods it had by the way the car lurched when he blipped the pedal. All I have to say is in this colder weather, if the guy got anything resembling traction at a 40mph roll then he wasnt very modded. A decently modded 03/04 could break the stock rubber lose from a 40mph roll easy on a 85 deg day.

I didnt bother reading the thread.
Stage 3 cars are suppose to trap high teens with just the stage 3 and 2.5 exhaust... through the stock intake box.
I believe the prototype was low to mid 120s, stock intake and FMIC.
Really open up the exaust with full 3" and throw a big FMIC with some alky injection and it will really fly. mid 11s with traction.

What mods does you car have to run the times you do? Just curious.
