It looked like the Camaro had a head start. You can see the entire rear of the car when the 3 honks start.

93efini: A 300+HP RX-7 is no joke. Neither is a S2 SRT. No doubt you pulled him in 1st, you have RWD. Maybe your car just pulls really hard in 3rd - how many psi? I agree with srtpumpkin, there is a big difference between a tuned Stage 2 and one that isnt. My car is Stage 0 with I/E running 15-17 psi but it feels like it pulls really hard in 2nd and 3rd and tapers off a little in 4th.

Motor Trend ran 13.9 @ 101 MPH on a stock SRT-4 in 2003. I drive a 2003 SRT and I like the Mazda a lot, but I think if anything the SRT has MORE of an advantage from a roll.
An SRT starts to slow down when it his 3rd? No. 3rd is where it starts pulling hard. They don't boost as high in 1st and 2nd and they're not easy to launch. And 200 pounds is not that big of a weight difference considering the Mazda has 260 HP and 280 TQ compared to the SRTs 230 HP 250 TQ.
BTW both cars should have run better times IMO. The SRT missed 4th supposedly so I think he would have been around 14 flat maybe high 13s and its pitiful that the mazda ran 14.7 he should be running low 14s.

Exactly my point. Bad driving doesn't mean the car is slow.

Wow 14.7 that's pitiful for the SRT considering they can run 13.8 stock.

Okay pardon me I didn't realize it was that old, it's not like you can really see it in the video.

Haha I agree with srtyler4 a 50trim SRT should be killing a stock S4 so maybe the S4 is modded. And what's with people saying they'd "take this car over that car"? Who cares. You probably don't drive either one. Duh, of course you should take a $50K Audi over a $20K Dodge if price is no matter.

Good kill but the 05 SRT should be doing a little better than that.

Somthing's not right about that!

Good runs. Haha CBR600rr you are 100% right.

Also, an intake, exhaust, and stage 1 kit from Mopar will add around 50HP and 40 lb ft. of torque. Not too bad for $1,000.

lscmkviii: You are right mark viiis are not tuned to be very fast from the factory. That's sorta my point. He is claiming the mark viii in the vid ONLY has exhaust - it doesn't even say it's tuned.
And again, my point is that simply adding an exhaust and nothing else and not tuning is not going to shave 1 sec off your 0-60 or 2 sec off your 1/4 mile. I do agree they can be made fast (as can just about anything). So in conclusion we know either the SRT driver launched it poorly or the lincoln has more mods than just an exhaust.

Yeah you should really think before you type next time instead of just assuming things about people you don't know, like when you say I don't know how to work on my car and pay some "random mechanic" to work on my car, because you couldn't be more wrong. And I really don't care that you are 17 or what crap you pulled out of a junkyard for your car. I have worked on my cars since you were an infant.
And yeah, you did win the race in the video, but my point is that stock mark viiis don't beat stock SRT-4s unless the SRT driver gets a bad launch or doesn't know how to drive. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put an automatic in D and floor it. Maybe you did run mid 6 on your 0-60 but a SRT can run mid 5s stock. What I doubt is that you are shaving 1 sec off your 6.4 sec with just an exhaust. It's not that unreasonable to doubt that. So basically you got lucky and the SRT got a terrible launch (or is a bad driver) or you have other mods you are not telling us about.
As for albeedigital the times posted are from magazines and verified. I have even checked a number of them myself. And I'm not being a hater at all or trying to dis your car. A mark viii is not a bad car at all, so don't get me wrong. I'm just telling it like it is. Don't get mad.

goo1: If you are beating SRT-4s and N/A cobras I don't believe your car only has exhaust. Not saying you cant make them fast but you aren't shaving 1.5-2.0 sec off your 1/4 mile time by simply adding exhaust.
lscmkviii: Yes, they do run mid 15s stock. Read 'em and weep. http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/0-...

Whoa haha goo1 don't get your panties all in a bunch. Fact of the matter is a stock lincoln mark viii runs mid 15s with 0-60 in the low-mid 7's while a stock SRT-4 does 0-60 in 5.3-6.0 and the quarter in 13.8-14.2 depending on how you launch. I don't know what you consider "slow" but I don't think that's too bad for a stock 4cyl fwd turbo car. Plus I have wasted a few mark viii's on the street (never saw one at the track) so I just find find it hard to believe that the SRT driver got a good launch and you still beat him while burning out down the track with just exhaust, even though it was an 1/8 mile race and you only beat him by .2 seconds.
And yes I know about your car and it's 4.6L engine, no doubt it makes decent power, but don't forget it takes supercharging to make the cobra as fast as it is and it's lighter than your car too.

Yeah I'm sure the SRT driver got a perfect launch too. Try a 1/4 mile race.

Nice to capture the win light or times. No doubt the SRT won. Who even brings a lincoln to the track??
