You're right djdino, and in his defense he did mention how nice my car looked after he beat me. I would've said the same, but I didn't want to lie.

they can boost a lot because they have low compression right from the factory. I saw a video of a yellow SRT-4 that was posted on clubrsx, i think it had 500+ whp and close to 600 torque. That thing was a beast on the road too.

Honestly I would be very disappointed if I just spend 1/4-1/3 of what his car cost total to turbo my S and still got beat. I know how the story goes, he's still driving a Neon, POS etc...but the fact is he probably spent $1000 and is pulling away from a turbo'd S2K, granted its not fully tuned, but its still turbo'd

If you have 308 to the wheel and if he only has a stage II at 280 to the wheels you should of walked him easily. So A. He has alot more power or B. you were in the wrong gear.

When you lose it is usually they have more power. Chime in someone. Anybody run the SRT-4 stage 2 at the track. I don't remember seeing mid to high twelves at over 110.
