There's this parts store where I live and when I used to get parts for my 92 Celica GT 5-speed...which was my WINTER CAR...the dude would always ask me about it and brag about his SRT-4...



DUDE, YOU WORK IN A PARTS STORE! Do you still live in your mother's basement to afford the payments?! I mean,seriously. The dude said he spend all his time and money on it...then what he told me he ran at the track it was embarrassing for him and me.


and as far as the Viper...I've driven one...they have CRAPPY handling...you are better off driving a Hyundai Accent.

Crappy handling? You must have really drove the Hyundai Accent, because the Viper i drove handled like a champ.

To live, is to sufferTo survive, thats to find meaning, in the suffering....
Vipers are notorious for being poor handlers IN THEIR CATEGORY.
But you spend a few more bills and you get the newer ACR Viper and you'll find handling has been much improved.

well ya I can see in their category, they are going up against a handful of porsches and corvettes. But to compare its handling to a Hyundai is just wrong, lol.

>lol, like i said they are okay fast, i dunno how many people out there that a stock/ stage1-2 srt4 is fast, i have gotten a ride in both, they felt normal nothing special, and i race one from a 40 roll, it was a stage 2 at 22psi, i started in 3rd, he was in second, up to 90ish, and i beat him by a car, o and btw i was only at 10 pounds, sad but true, i laughed at him, so i guess i was the d bag at the time, but i just want a newer, decent fast car for the money


go figure, the guy interested in buying the srt-4 is the d-bag driver that street races...

y u say that? i know street racing is bad, but come on who hasn't ever raced/ gone above the speed limit before
any one here been in a fast SRT?? I doubted them too untill i went back to work. My manager has a 04 SRT4 with stage 3 package in it..315WHP at 20PSI, daily driven. Honestly, his SRT can run with my buddies R32 GTR no problem. They are decivingly fast cars if built properly. I got another buddy from school whos running a 500whp drag SRT. Runs 10s w/o spray.

Every one rags on them for being a neon, but its a neon that can blow the doors off any 6th gen. Sorry to say. Ive kinda relized after i stopped driving my celica, that yea the celica is nice looking, interior is very ergonomic and laid out nicely, handels well with some minor mods, but even though there are cars out there that dont look nearly as nice, sometimes you gotta get past the looks of the car.

Personaly, I wouldnt buy one unless i got it for a smokin deal like my manager did ($14K cnd with 80xxxkm on it with all stock, stage 1, 2 sets of stage 2 parts, full stage 3, and 2 S10 beds full of spare stock parts), but i wouldnt put it past me to buy one.

I've never street raced before. To me its 110% pointless. Even if I lose, I will still say I won, and who would know the difference? And going over the speed limit is just a little less pointless. You risk getting a ticket, to save a few minutes on your drive? I dont know about you guys but I dont make enough money to justify getting a $65 speeding ticket to save 5 minutes of work time.

well, i dunno how it is the have a 5s in my car, but all the cars i have owned, first one at 16 was a 90 300ZX TT, bpu around 300 wheel, i learned early, and yes i like to go fast, and i have never once got a speeding ticket, and have done many runs well over the speed limit, i did 145 in my Z, about 150ish in my 3s, and have never got caught, don't want to knock on wood here, but if u don't speed thats fine, i don't either when i DD, but sure when i race, u pay to play dont ya
woohoo street racing stories? awesome.
