Even if the srt-4 had $10,000 dumped into it (which it doesn't) then the total amount invested including the car will be the base price of what most new EVO's cost. I like looking at the big picture.
What's your point? So to make it fair, you guys can put 10 grand in your cars while racing stock Evo's? Thats pretty much what it looks like in all of Mean9reenMachine's videos. Not saying he has 10 grand in his car, but he obviously has more money in mods tied up in his car than the Evo's.
I'm not taking anything away from your car man. I know it runs good, but to me your picking easy prey. Every vid I've seen from you in the past week or two have been against mildly modded stock turbo Evo's with sub par drivers while you having a stage 3 with a upgraded wheel and all the supporting mods and meth injection. All your doing is posting vids of the obvious and that is a car with more money IN MODS and upgraded turbo is faster than a relatively stock Evo with stock turbo.
Congrats on the win again, but c'mon man. Pick on someone that will give you a good race.
It's the same Evo9 in both the dig and highway pull vids, I know the guy and when I was out the other night I saw him and we raced. It's not two different Evo's, and I don't race stock Evo's, they are a waste of my gas and methenol! I've rapped a 515hp Cobra in my car, but I didn't have the video camera...so it's not like I go out and look for cars I can beat for sure, I usually go after the 500+hp V8's. I'll race anything, I don't care if they beat me or not!

My point was the last sentence of my previous post. "I love looking at the big picture" Now what's your point? Each car has to have an identical amount of money dumped into modifications for the race to be fair? It's not like we're talking about a 600whp srt-4 vs. a 350whp evo here. Both these cars have relatively the same amount of power with the srt-4 having the disadvantage from a dig. It's just funny when you bring up the money put into srt-4's modications when the evo is more significantly more espensive then the srt-4.
I thought reflashed evo 9's should be a good race against stage 3 srt4's? Did that change all of a sudden?
My point is your arguement is retarded. Who cares how much money was spent on the purchase of ones car? The way your talking is like the SRT should have 10 grand into it to make the price of the cars similar. I didn't say anything about price until you brought it up. I only mentioned the amount of mods on the car compared to the other. No...your not talking about a 600whp SRT VS a 350whp Evo, but your talking about a upgraded turbo SRT running meth against a stock turbo Evo with with a few mods and pump gas.

My arguement is retarded but you continue to participate... Who cares how much money is in each car. You still seem upset that the srt-4 has more money in mods then the evo. That is what we call an excuse, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up. Thats like the Viper owner complaining that the Civic had more mods then him which is why he got beat. No shit. Thats just nitpicking, both these cars have similar power with the advantage out of the hole going to the evo. I just like to bring up the price of the cars to stir the pot. We're the underdog so why can't why have fun once in awhile?
The whole point of this vid was to satisfy all the Evo owners who were asking to race from a dig after the srt won the previous roll races. Most people assumed the evo would win and all the evo owners could have some satisfaction. That didn't happen and now come all the excuses once more.
Um so what would make it fair then? If they were both stock turbo? That's fucking nonsense, the 9s come with way bigger turbos than an srt4. Evos you win so much you gotta cry about an unfair race? LOL. Ok then all your wins are unfair cause you have AWD. Just wow guys wow. And you know the first thing you guys bring up is how your 30k car can whoop on ferraris and such. Pot/kettle my friends.
The race is what it is... and the SRT4 was quicker. Whoopty do.
This weekend i'm racing a Lightning with a 75 shot. He says he runs mid 12's so it should be a good race. I'm going to see if I can beat him on boost alone, if not I will shoot my 50 shot against him.
The arguments about the cost of an SRT4 compared to an EVO/STI is just retarded (as stated earlier). You can't add the purchase price of a car to the overall cost of making a car fast ... assine! We all have different budgets and most SRT4 owners on these boards, if purchase price was identical, would get the EVO/STI in a heartbeat...
anyway,
Stage 3 turbo is not a BIG turbo. Anyone else see it this way?
Technically, a turbo doesn't HAVE to be big to be quick. It's all about the engine-turbo matching. It appears the Stage 3 is the best matched upgraded turbo for the SRT4 for the street. Running a 50-trim or higher is only going to get someone into trouble since traction would be a serious issue.
