I am very active in the SRT community, I go by "Scarface" on the srt forums. I dont think that 11's are possible for that low amount of money. Stage 1, MBC, wastegate, dump exhaust, NO2, and slicks might do it....but that list adds up to more than $650. If you know a secret let me know.
:eek:

That guy's turbo is going to shear in half and spit the turbine wheel out the exhaust housing if he keeps on running a 100 shot. I'd love to find out what his turbo RPMs shoot up to when he hits the nitrous.

Sorry dude but I believe we can compare the prices of a DSM and an SRT-4. That of course is considering that we are looking at the cars in the present. Considering most of us have bought these cars used and not brand new. Hell my car was only $4300 after taxes, I'd like to see what kind of performance my car could have if I put as much as you guys have spent on your cars, I know for a fact my car would decimate yours.

Too bad when the dsm's came out the were the same price as an srt-4 give them as long as dsm's have had and who knows what could happen. Im not gonna say anything else on this thread since people get butt hurt over the srt-4 in most forums lets just say I love dsm's and srt-4 and shall they romp on v-8's and hondas! as for decimating my car lngbrdr give me some 1/4 times and #'s?

If you pay 40 grand for a supra, you are a tool.

Sorry dude but no 1/4 times or #'s simply because I don't have the kind of money you guys are just throwing around, remember I said if I had the kind of money you guys have spent my car would kill, and it would! I know when dsm's came out they were the same price as an srt-4 but again you are forgetting that my car is now a 10 y/o and your's is brand new so the prices are a little different. If you have the money go get an srt-4, I just laugh at the idea of owning a dang neon!
