He said his only mod was a different wastgate giving him 21psi spike, dropping to 16psi, otherwise his car was stock. He ran a 13.47. I'm thinking he didn't tell the whole story or am I wrong? Could he have run that time with only the above mod? What can these cars run?

yes they can run that

Supercharged06

that would sound about right i think the fastest stock srt ran like a 13.6

arizbea

Wow - ok. I'm guessing these cars must weigh quite a bit less than the Cobalt if they can run stock what a GMS1 Cobalt can run.

yep. you are correct.

phatnackySS

the Srt 4 neon was underrated a little, alot like the Cobalt , they tend to make more wheel HP than they were rated at the crank lol. and they were about 2900lbs so they were alittle lighter.

I didn't see the show be I'm gonna bet he was running drag radials too.

ralliartist

GMS1 cobalt? LOL, a stock LNF cobalt can run a 13.6. BONE STOCK.

i saw it last night, a neon with a turbo and a srt-4, idk about neons but i guess it came with a 2.4

i was like this was gonna be good turned up the tv and it was ok haha cuz he was stock

arizbea

I don't believe a bone stock SS can run 13.6 unless there is a 35 mph tailwind and it's wearing slicks. Anybody got the timeslip to prove it? Plus how can you prove it was stock when you ran it?

Shez

People have gotten down to 13.5 bone stock. I know I've seen it somewhere.

The SRT-4, could it have been an ACR SRT-4? there over 300whp stock. and if it was stock, then the SRT-4 had to be tuned for the 21psi which is a fairly decent boost spike. otherwise im sure there would be missfires and CELs. It had to be tuned.

Are you sure about that .... I always thought the ACR SRT-4 came with smaller/wider 16" wheels, upgraded seats, suspension mods, and some ACR badges. They still had the same horsepower as a normal SRT-4.

Wider 16×7 inch (410×180 mm) BBS RX racing wheels with 40 mm (1.6 in) offset

5 position rebound adjustable performance Tokico Illumina dampers
Thicker rear stabilizer bar (19 mm)

You dont know much about srt4's do you? They dont need to get tuned before they crank up the boost or run race gas they dont have a learn down. I know i was surprised when i found this out too.

Billy Baldone

The ACR was only a handling upgrade, no extra horsepower.

arizbea

Well, in the you tube video you can clearly see a huge tailwind by looking at the flags and who are we to know if those other runs included drag radials or what the wind was like. All I'm saying is that conditions have to be very unusual at best for a stock SS turbo to drop into the 13.5-6 range.

Shez

Was waiting for you to post up. Thank youuu!

LOL @ drag radials. My car had 3500 miles on it at the time and was the same as I picked it up from the dealer besides tire pressure. Yes, you are correct that it's not common for those times to be ran but it did happen.

Having said that yes the SRT neon's are just as quick. My friend clicked off a 13.6 in his ACR SRT4 and everyone on srtforums was crying about it. I had a local mustang guy run his SRT with the wastegate mod at a Superstallions of the Net event and he was running 13.2s at 107mph.

Keep in mind my local track is only 320ft above sea level and some of the corrected DA's can run -1000.

ACR SRT-4 @ 300HP...

So much misinformation, so little time...

ralliartist

I could care less if you don't believe it. You aren't hurting my feelings any. You can just be a doubter that would be proven wrong if you went to one of those guys' track days.

yea, I don't think any of us are saying that yours and the other 2 guys' times are common. We are just saying that it is possible.

What's the norm? Mid to low 14's.

arizbea

Hell, we could go on forever. I bet I could run a 12.80 if I had a thunderstorm downdraft behind me. OK - I admit it...... I shouldn't have said that I don't think a stock SS turbo could run a 13.5 - 13.6 becuase obviously weather, track conditions, and driver experience are going to be different every time out. All I'm saying is that with no wind, normal temperatures, normal track conditions and a normal driver anything less than a 13.8 is next to impossible (notice I said "next to" impossible, not "impossible").

PerformanceClutches

he is hurting your feelings brad. just admit it. lmfao

Well, my buddy ran a 13.73 completely stock on stock tires, stock tire pressure, and full interior. No tail wind, because if there was, it would have pushed me into the 12's, but I was still stuck running my consistent 13.0x's. In fact, my buddy ran the 13.73, and a 13.75, so it was no fluke.
