09 stock SS/TC vs..

1. 05 SRT-4 pretty heavily modded: extrude honed intake manifold, ported stock turbo, 62 mm throttlebody, 3" TBE, probably stage I but unsure, short ram intake.. probably a few more (I know the guy from the SRT club)
I raced this guy b4 in my 04 SRT-4 .. I pulled on him from a dig by 2-3 cars, and by the end of 2nd gear, he reeled me in and pulled 1-2 cars on me. Last year at the track he turned a 13.6@104 BEFORE the bigger turbo, honed manifold and 62 mil throttlebody.
Vs my SS, from about a 50 roll, I was in 2nd gear, he pulled probably about a half car or maybe 1 car on me until 3rd gear, I started to reel him in.. pulled 1-2 cars on him in 4th, I believe he missed his 3/4 shift... either way, I kept up with an SRT that may very well run high 12's at the track with his new modifications.

2. Some VW GTI.. no idea but it was extremely loud and fast.. probably modded quite a bit. From a dig, pretty much side by side until 2nd gear, for some reason, my car lost power on the 1-2 shift (maybe I left traction control on by mistake? Idk) 2nd gear he pulls a good 1-2 cars on me.. 3rd gear, I reel him in and once I hit 4th I pulled on him by a good 1-2 cars.. we were really moving.. probably 170+ km/h

All in all, this car's got some serious power, especially in the higher gears.. weird

nice race. good job, the SS/TC's are very impressive.

to be honestly I don't know if the guy may have missed a gear or not. It is possible. I would think with those mods and assuming he is pushing more boost due to those mods he would be able to pull on you but if he isn't tuned for it then they may be working against him powerwise. Can't just slap **** on a car and expect them to give you instant hp increase. Adding boost and not tuning for it can cause crappy timing advancement (which = less power), knock retard (which = less power), and who know's where his a/f's are.

Now if he is smart, he tuned his car with something, DTEC, SAFC, DSP, SCT, and monitored his a/f's, TA, and KR, and tuned the car for the best performance. If he did, even more impressed with the SS/TC.

Yeah the 13.6 @ 104 mph is a basic bolt on SRT-4 with a decent driver. Hell, with some really good tires and a good driver you could hit that with a stock SRT-4. Just ask LittleMT on the forums. She hit that with an intake and some sticky tires. That is it. Well, not sure about the trap speed, but the trap time she did.

With his mods and a tune he should be a high 12 second car as long as he can put the power to the ground.

I hate the stupid wars between car groups, "dude your car is a dodge" or "your car is a chevy, eeeeeeewwww". Talk about gay. Forget who's badge is on the car and just look at the damn car. What is it capable of. That is and should be what is important. Otherwise you miss out on a lot of good stuff.

Good runs man.

So are you saying you pulled the Charger SRT-8, or he pulled on you?

I think he said screw it and didn't want to get embarrassed.

With both cars being tuned and your current mods.. I'd lay 10 bucks on each of ya cuz it's gonna be a damn close race.. driver mod will probably win
