Also, i got my *** handed to me by a heavy modded SRT-4 yesterday.. FAIL BOAT! Closed roads of course /cough.
I got scatted on by a nasty Turbo Neon as well when I had my Z, found out the guy was a soldier about two weeks later and was making 500+whp. Asshole. But in the end, a neon is still a neon, 500whp or not.

Oh come on now. Those SRT-4's are the best cheap speed I know of. They run 11's@120+ with just a few cheap mods and I have only seen one break at the track. It was working again by sundown. Definitely "cheap" cars, but cheap fast cars with good drivelines.

haha, to be honest, he was running his mouth at work for a few weeks straight, talkin about how his is making 450whp with his CAI/Tune, always driving past me revving his crappy flowmaster exhaust, figured i'd take him out and humble him up a bit. He was so pissed afterwards that he sat on the tarmac for an hour next to his car sulking like a lil beotch. Came to work this monday and said he was trading it in for a Brembo 3.73 Premium GT, I LOL'ed.

I never understood why those Roush guys buy that crap car for as much as it costs instead of buying a real car in the same price range like the GT500. M4, perhaps you can chime in.

Status probably. Unless you get one of their supercharged models it doesn't really make any sense to get one. But the Roush cars are generally better "values" than Saleen or Shelby if you insist on buying a pre-modded car.

True, coming out of a wheelie at 101mph in first gear tends to spoil a mans sense of speed on an everyday basis


Hahah i agree shado!
