I raced my first srt 4 today. He has a stage 2 ECU and took of the exhaust from the cats back. We did a race from a dig and he got me by half a car. We did a roll from 40 and i had a nose on him and all of a sudden i hear a loud pop followed by backfire and metal grinding so i quickly let off, realizing that he blew something. He popped the hood and the head actually lifted and warped off of the block. Will know more tomorrow! Feel sorry for the guy. He just bought it used like 3 weeks ago...

 

sucks
better him then you tho

 

yeah definitely...hopefully its just the head though

 

Used skittle. Says it all. Too bad for him though.

 

damn sux for that guy but hey u had a nose on him when he blew so u can call that a kill still lol

 

how many miles were on it , anyone who buys an SRT-4 with over id say 24,000 miles is asking for MAJOR problems

 

thats like a kill squared

 

Nice, where was it? That is the ultimate kill too, if you win and the other car blows. I did that to a TT Supra about 2 months ago.

 

it had 22,000 miles on it. it was on US 27(okeechobee). and yes i will still count it as a kill.

 

he falls off his chair in delight :P

 

I would take the car back to the dealership!

 

lmao

 

Was it dry out there? I wanted to do some racing tonight, but it rained so bad all day I thought it woulda been a waste to go out there.

 

that sucks that is low milage

 

it was actually pretty dry out so we ran. i didnt think it was going to be.

 

****, I wish I woulda known. Do you stay down that way? I need to have someone that I can check the weather down there with.

 

i live in miramar but i'm usually out by okeechobee on friday's and saturday's

 

Oh yeah, I always go down there on the weekends, but I would go during the week if I had someone to roll with and knew that it was worth the drive.

 

the exact same thing happend to my buddies arc srt...his bock split in half....hopefully its not that bad,,,

 

bro...i work 45 hours a week and i go to school full time. i was lucky my boss gave me wed night off. i wish bro...i wish

 

Even though this is true, the SRT4 still has a 10x better and stronger motor & tranny than a Cobalt.

 

I agree on the tranny, but you know the ecotec is a damn stout motor

 

Im not saying its a POS, Im simply saying the SRT4 motor/tranny is 10x better.

Can a ECOTEC motor make 609whp on a stock motor/internals/bottom end like a SRT-4? No.

Enough said...

 

It's best to ignore posts like his. His post it what you would call a shoot from the hip statement because he got butthurt from someone elses comment!

 

No im not hurt lol. I know beat up cars in general are gonna be a pos.

Im not shooting from the hip, Im stating facts, not opinons. Im just saying the SRT4 motor/tranny is better lol.

Im not saying the ECOTEC is a pos or anything.
