SRT-4's at ATCO Today 3/4/07

[carazyguy]

My friend Chris, our women, and I went down early Sunday morning to Atco to do some early time trials. We both had goals in which we surpassed with conditions that the usual racers find unfavorable. Track temp was in the high 30s, wind gust of 25+ mph and on and off snow flurries.


We took my Silver S3r with toys out first with our Mickey Thomspon Slicks and ran three runs. My first run was the second pass of the day and I opened up with a 11.8@115. The second run I just looped around and went back in line in which the car got a little heat soaked but still ran a 11.8@115. Slicks were set at 11psi and I adjusted them down to 9psi. At this point I went back around and let the car cool down. With the car cooled down, I got back up to the line and launched at only 4200RPM because I had issues with the slickers not being able to hold in first too well. This video says the rest....

To sum it up I was on stock S3 wga hitting 18-19lbs with HOM holding with a quater tank of MS109. Mods are as follows...
Mopar Stage 3 with Toys (Steel Wheel)
Mopar Short Throw Shifter
Mopar Cold Air Intake
Mopar Stage 1 Lowering Springs
Mopar High Performance Clutch
Mopar High Performance Spark Plug Wires
Needswings V6 Cutout with Mccord Plate
PSI FI Direct Fit FMIC
JMB Pressure Pipe Package with HKS SSQV Bov
Prothane Motor Mount Inserts


Three flawless runs on the Silver was good enough for me. Now it was time for Chris to play with his Stage 2 with toys set up. Chris only has Stage 2 with toys, Needswings V5 cutout, 3" O2 Housing, Forward Motion WGA setup on stock lines, AEM Cold Air Intake and a short throw shifter. The first time ever at the track with his SRT and the first time ever obviously with slicks on he cut a 12.4@108. All of us very excited with the time, he rounded for another pass. Once again the video will speak for itself...

Very nice times. 12.4 on slicks stock turbo is pretty good. I wish I would have gotten to run mine on slicks. I would been almost in the 11's with the slicks stock turbo.

Congrats on the times, very nice. I saw you guys there, I lent you the breaker bar if you remember.

I was thinking about running but didnt think I would hook with my drag radials. I busted an axle Friday night so I was just to fix it and just decided to hang around for a while.

Ha thanks again for helping my buddy out with that, I guess he tries to make sure his lug nuts are on there extra tight You should have ran the track wasn't that bad, i'm sure if it was a little warmer we both could have hooked better.

The track temps were way to cold it was snowing most of the day. I almost took out the 330' timer.

It was not referred to you. It was younger guys that don't do research on the car and throw on a boost controller on a stock pcm running 21 lbs of boost wondering why his car doesn't break 13s...

[JeEvE]

What were your 60' s?

I had the maroon 1g dsm that looked and sounded fast sitting in the pits... but in reality it could barely make it down the track under its own power.

[sleeperstyle]

damn, i was pulling those identical 60's on motor (srt 4 guy). good job, not many people can get them to hook like that!

noclutch= 12 second racecar

[noclutch]

werd, 12.6 was the best pass of the day

[sleeperstyle]

good job!

[noclutch]

Ill hit 12.0's before the season ends, I promise.

[sleeperstyle]

fuggin neons can beat us

that's it im selling the car

[GroceryGetter]

hey sleeper you still run 12.1 12.2 without nos?

[noclutch]

Ha, that car cant even get into the 12s without a 100shot of NOS

[LudiChris95]

hey thats me in the car behind you. those neons were moving, I raced a white or silver one, I forget which, that went 11.8 @ 115. I couldn't get any kind of traction what so ever, even with ET streets I was all over the track. usually its the FWD guys having problems launching, not RDW and AWD. WTF is the world coming to

LOL you were that Z06???? Your car sounded and looked very intimidating with the supercharger whining away, skinnies in the front, et streets on the back . I was like ok i'm going to get raped, but it suprisingly went the other way lol. I was like ohhhhhh boy. I'm the one with the silver that ran you running 11.8 that pass. I ran a 11.6 about an hour later. I'll have to have my buddy post up our run we got it on video.
