interesting... is it just me or that driver of the srt-4 kinda suck? with the mods he had he should have pulled more then that IMO.

cas2themoe 05-10-2005 06:11 PM

I think thats pretty bad that it didnt beat the G35 worse espically if the SRT-4 is pushing 19psi

GO Stock G35!!!!

army_rx8 05-10-2005 06:26 PM

well 19psi..fwd..no l.s.d. hmmmm yea they got power but i'd imagin they have a lill trouble putting it down to the ground...especially from a start.

cas2themoe 05-10-2005 06:36 PM

I think you can actually hear that too................

Mindtrip 05-10-2005 06:38 PM

The 35 kept up pretty good!

army_rx8 05-10-2005 06:39 PM

^??? oo that right the 05's have an l.s.d. doesn't it? or at least whenever there last redesign was.

hmm if it is a later one wonder how much power it can handle? i have no idea since i haven't looking it up.

DARKMAZ8 05-10-2005 07:37 PM

Only the '03s didn't have LSD. Though the SRT-4 owner lists a bunch of mods it's really not going to be much faster than a stage 1. The SRT4 also let off the first couple runs pretty early after it was clear the G35 wasn't going to catch him. Then there's the weight factor, were there a couple passengers in the SRT-4 and none in the G35?

That SRT-4 owner modded his car the wrong way IMHO. With stage 2 and a 3" exhaust he would run between 16-18psi, pull harder, and not risk damaging his engine with a crappy A/F ratio and insane EGT's. Plus he wouldn't get any PTFB (partial throttle full boost) and intake surge. Also you can always tell which SRT-4 owners used to own Hondas because the first thing they do is slap on an aftermarket intake. Not only is it a waste of money but the PVO guys, Ethan in particular, has said many times on the SRT forums that Mopar hasn't released an aftermarket intake because the car is built like a brick shit house before the turbo. Just look at all the sub 13 second sartees running the stock airbox/intake. I hate welfare mods like the AGP wastegate. All you're doing is increasing boost with a stiffer wastegate spring than the stock piece. In order to circumvent the control of the PCM you have to cap vacuum lines, reroute things, add an MBC, etc. It's a ticking time bomb. Spend the money and do it right.

At least he had the stage 1 PCM...although 19psi is outside of the efficiency range of the turbo. After 18.5psi the engine continues to build torque but it loses HP.

that g35 is very nice

Icant stand those neons

Fanman 05-11-2005 03:18 AM

G35 sounds very nice. That was my 2nd choice car. Is it just me or does the Neon owner sound like an idiot ? What's a mid-dump ? I've heard of dump back pipe or uppipe, or downpipe, but never a mid-dump. Also his car sounds strange. What is that cracking sound that you hear on his car ?

They don't have mufflers, they all prettymuch sound like that.

No passengers in the G35? Who was filming the first race of the Neon at the beginning of the video? Not the driver......

cas2themoe 05-11-2005 09:30 AM

Yeah, I love the exhaust notes of both the G35 and the 350Z.

dmp 05-11-2005 09:36 AM

the first 1:30 of that vid is useless...

Would you guys rather have a 12-second SRT4, or a 13 second G35? My vote goes to the G35.

Red Devil 05-11-2005 10:44 AM

Hell I'll always take a G35 before an SRT4.

DARKMAZ8 05-11-2005 10:54 AM

Those cars are not even comparible in terms of price. Hell, I'll take an e46 over the g35 ;).

REXNdBst 05-11-2005 11:16 AM

Dang I sure wouldn't mine having a G35.

I remember back when I was pushing a Big 16g turbo @19 psi on my eclipse and I raced my friends stock G35 and the results were about the same and I had to shut it down pretty quick because of my EGT's. I murdered his car though after I was tuned.

I think that Neon wasn't tune right It could have been faster. I got to give it to the G35 though.

That proves my point - somebody having the cash for a G35 gets more 'props' than a guy with a fast neon. :)

BlueEyes 05-11-2005 11:29 AM

and 'props' are what matter

khtm 05-11-2005 12:17 PM

i want some 'props'...gimme gimme gimme! :D
