So i have to post this up

Im sitting at lunch with some friends, this girl comes and sits with us, a friend of a friend. Shes talking about her boyfriends celica and how its so fast with the body kit and the (narrowband) o2 sensor. no other mods other than a catback and intake. I tell her i drive a neon and that ill race him. He shows up looks at my car and starts yelling at her. I tell him to get off her case she didnt know, he tells me to not tell him how to treat his bitch. I basically put him back in his yota and told him to get the fuck out. She rode home with me... were picking her up in about 15 to go to a party... good things will happen my friend.

I am talking NON SUPER CHARGED! Just motor. I've said it prolly 10 times now. Your supercharged 4.6 isn't going to have the sound of a built V8. Thats it! Thats all there is too it. I am happy that your car made 439rwhp. I have no doubts the car sounded badass but a different kind of sound. (in the beggining I said most people appreciate the sound of a strong sounding V8) I never said yours wasn't fast. Happy for you that it was faster than my lt1. It ought to be since it made 40hp more and with better stock suspension and lesser weight. For a stock block lt1 with a lt4 hotcam, stage 1 heads, and many other bolt ons my car ran very well. Again not saying your losing to a 5.0 but you take a litely modded 5.0 and a litely modded 4.6 and you put the same exhaust on it the 5.0 sounds better. My opinion based on pushrod versus modular. I always preferred the 5.0 anyway.

And yes the ls1 isn't modular I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I typed that. The ls1 doesn't sound as good as an lt1 and most will agree.

Enjoy the srt thats why we are here not to discuss cars we don't own anymore and thats a shot at me since I started it. I don't understand why this turned out like it did with a small statement like (most people appreciate the sound of a strong running V8). If in your opinion the srt-4 sounds better than your mustang thats your opinion. But to me if your srt-4 sounds better than your stang well enough said.

Going to bed.

opinion. i've had built bolt-on lt1 and ls1 guys tell me my engine/exhaust sounded better than theirs. personal opinion. and are you saying the ls engines are modular? i thought they were just modernized old school pushrod engines, still with just one cam in the center and made much more hp from the factory than the old ironblocks

First thing that came out of his mouth was I have never heard or seen an LT1 run like that. I figured I'd run off like you were a honda. He ran high 11's in the 1/4 mile.

and a cadillac cts-v that claimed to be making "well over 400 at the wheels" and i pulled on him pretty easy.

Quote:

I am sure your car sounded good. I like the way the 4.6's sound. I am not hating on your car at all. First fast car I was ever in altough it would seem slow now but was a 99 GT with cai, hpipe and flow masters. I couldn't believe the guy let me drive it and I wanted a fast car from then on. I have had an 95 gt, 92 typhoon, 04 impala ss, the TA, and the SRT. I again am saying the majority of people appreciate the sound of strong V8 power. No sc or tc or juiced power but raw all motor 350 5.7 liter small block power. Not a 281 modular 4.6 liter. Hell the 3.8 ford put out had 232 ci. Gm's 4.3 is 262 ci. Thats all I was trying to say. If you compare a 5.0 to a 4.6 with the same exhaust in my opinion the 5.0 wins due to larger displacement and it's a pushrod. Put the Lt1 upto an old school camaro with a gen 1 350 with similar mods and similar exhaust the old school car has an even better sound. The LT1 isn't the best sounding car I have ever heard. That goes to a local guys 800 hp sc vette which was just wicked but hell it had 800 horses. I am sure if I heard the 1300 hp lt1 impala SQR built in Benbrook well it would take the cake.

not sure what that was all about, just that my car dyno'd 439 rwhp had 4.10 gears along with the instant kb twin-screw torque and boost...and i'm not really sure why you continue to inform me that my car loses to "5.0" and doesn't count and can't compare to, etc. and if we lined up, i'm not so sure you would have won or that my exhaust would have sounded worse, just that your car would probably sound like a built gm v8 with a lope in its idle and mine would've sounded like a supercharged 4.6 with o/r exhaust.

Quote:

Love the SRT, I enjoy it very much, it's loud, and it's pretty quick car.

I am going to finish my 300hp list one day and I'll be happy with a low 13 sec daily driver. yeah it's much slower than the TA, doesn't get the appreciation the TA did but I am not a road scrapper either and the srt is much easier to drive.

good to know, glad you enjoy both cars for different reasons. personally i plan on modding the srt4 until it's just as fast or faster than the old 4.6 and do it with the stock motor, and when i get bored with that then i'll do some internals, up the boost and see how that works. peace.

Yes, I srt-4 are fast I knew a buddy who had srt-4 but one night he tried to run a mustang and my friend who was driving his srt-4 got into a car wreck and lost his life do to racing against a mustang so I just got to say this if you plan on drag racing on public road please dont do it because your life can be ended just like my friend did. I would also like to say something on the SHO I used to own a 93 SHO 3.2 DOHC and that SHO was fast I can remember hitting 140 mph on a country road before let me tell you I was scared shi* doing 140 mph with a friend in the car.

So my last though is please don't drag race on public roads its not worth taking your life against a stupid drag race on public road if you wanna drag race take it to a drag strip its much safer there then a public road.

**MEandmySRT** · 11-02-2007, 07:47 AM

first off, seems like you just keep getting more worked up and more bold with your opinions when you've never even heard my mustang. clue #1 - the only mustang you talked about was a N/A mustang with chambered exhaust and an H pipe. that couldn't sound any more different from a SC'ed mustang with straight-through mufflers and an X pipe if you tried. clue #2 - all the cars i raced were built v8's and not one of them had a SC installed and they said my 4.6 sounded better..even after they got beat. imagine that: built N/A v8's that thought a SC'ed 4.6 sounded wicked. wow. clue #3 - you keep hating on SC v8's but then you go on to say that the best car you ever heard "goes to a local guys 800 hp sc vette which was just wicked but hell it had 800 horses" and clue #4 your stock GM v8 isn't going to sound like a stock modular ohc FORD v8, your built N/A GM v8 won't sound like a built modular ohc FORD v8, your SC'ed GM v8 won't sound like a SC'ed modular ohc FORD v8...so why do you keep trying to compare apples to oranges? and i never said the srt would sound better than the stang, just that it would be faster - don't start adding more confusion than you already have. thanks bunch.

I had a '90 SHO. My Brothers got it now so I see it everyday. I love those cars man. Income tax time I'm picking up another one

Oh man, and one of those Yamahammer's with straight exhaust sounds SICK. No cats or nothin' on mine!

I sunk a ton of money on it but still runs strong at 232K miles!

dafaic · 11-02-2007, 09:11 AM

Who cares really. My opinion is that a built V8 sounds better than a exhaust sc 4.6 281 tiny ford motor. My opinion. You also said you couldn't hear your car at idle so how could it sound so badass if you can't hear it at idle. Mine rattles the windows at idle. And you can hear me coming from a mile away which is twice the distance of your 1/2 mile.

So what. Who cares. This has gotten way off topic because I said people appreciate the sound of a strong running and sounding V8. You said you weren't impressed by your car but then go on to tell me that your car counted in the sound department and is so much better and so fast and you beat all these cars. But you weren't impressed by it. If you can't hear the V8 idleing how can it count. It doesn't based on my statement. Strong running and sounding which includes what it sounds like sitting still.

You know, there ARE built 4.6L V8's. That's right, V8's. Crazy isn't it?

Just to throw my opinion out there, the 4.6L sounds badass. Better than any 5.7L I've heard. They sound like a fuckin' truck.

Hehehe, he can do math, how cute.

no i never said that, i said that people usually heard me at WOT, as in racing, not at an idle, sitting in a parking lot.

Quote:

i used that as an example - highway was 1/2 mile from front door and people at home said they could hear my car easy when i was going up the ramp. yeah, i'm sure they could still hear me after i got on the highway, but i didn't yardstick the exact distance. and when i started the car people walking by would duck or jump, so how does that fit in to your window rattle?

Quote:

So what. Who cares. This has gotten way off topic because I said people appreciate the sound of a strong running and sounding V8.

and you seem to think mine would RUN stronger than yours, and people with built N/A v8's that i raced and beat seemed to think mine sounded better than their cars...so i guess their opinions aren't fitting in with yours about sc engines not counting.

Quote:

You said you weren't impressed by your car but then go on to tell me that your car counted

because you said it didn't count, even when i informed you that guys with all-motor cars said my car sounded sweet..in the sound department

Quote:

in the sound department and is so much better and so fast and you beat all these cars.

after you posted your own is so much better and so fast and you beat all these cars reply first.

Quote:

But you weren't impressed by it.

just to state that the "sound" wasn't a life-or-death deal for me like it seemed to be with you.

Quote:

If you can't hear the V8 idleing how can it count.

counts because you didn't even begin to comprehend what i wrote - you came off as someone that likes to park and idle to impress friends with that idle lope, while i said that i couldn't even begin to worry about how the idle sounded..while i was running 80mph at WOT.

Quote:

It doesn't based on my statement.

only because you failed to comprehend what i meant by saying WOT, instead of being a parked poser.

Quote:

Strong running and sounding which includes what it sounds like sitting still.

i wouldn't be surprised if my ohc sc'ed 4.6 making more hp at the wheels and the crank, with off-road X-pipe and straight-through "race bullet" catback was louder than yours, sitting still..or if i was WOT out in front. but what good does that magic SOUND really do for you and your v8 when a big turbo 4 cylinder walks right past you?

Back when I first got my car, one of my coworkers actually thought it had a hemi in it because of the exhaust sound...

Usually when people ask me what I drive, I say Dodge Neon SRT-4, and most of the time they ask what the SRT means and I tell them "it's the factory-turbocharged Neon".

I had the same thing happen when I had my VW Jetta, except she got off because of the MASSIVE 15" sub I had in the trunk! Oh man, it was great! She got off, got even more horny, and I got laid. Ahhh them were the days...........
