In all honesty bruh, I wouldn't even buy an SRT-8 to "race" in. Let alone for that price range when there are 03-04 Cobra's, STI's, Evo's, used Z06's and 00+ LS1's faster than your car. Even with your "50hp diablo tuner." If you believe you picked up 50hp rwhp then you probably believe in octane boosters from Kragen.. stock turbo cars barely pick up half of that during a dyno session. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice car.. but in the street racing scene SRT-8's aren't even a factor. However, if a 14 second, 35k dollar car is fast to you, then more power to you.
And you're originally from San Jo right? You don't respect Honda's? I'm DEFINATELY not an Import guy but I know for a fact them "youngsters" with a simple swapped motor in EK/EG/EF hatchbacks looking bone stock on the outside would race and take your money in a heartbeat if you came up acting like your SRT8 was God.
AND if you *think* your car runs low 13's stock then I feel sorry for you. I've seen a stock R35 Skyline @ Sac Raceway running 12.0's/11.9s all day. C6 Z06's running high 11's, STI's running high 13's.... WAY off from the magazine's/websites that you go by. There's a guy from my car club that has a stock C6 Z06 and HAS ran 10.9's BONE STOCK, STREET RADIALS.. my point is that it doesn't matter what a magazine or website tells you, it's what YOU can do in YOUR car and I highly doubt you'll even run faster than 13.3's the way your car sits now. And if it is faster, record it and show me the video and I'll personally paypal you a 100 bucks.
As a matter of fact, another homey from my car club, his brother took this dude's money who happens to have an SRT-8 thinking he was God also. And if you are originally from San Jo like you say, you probably bought tires off this guy at his store.
This was from a roll, automatic 3 speed 5.0 that's built for dead stop racing, all motor when it's really a nitrous car against an SRT-8 that has WAY more shit than you do. And if you know people with or own a real built car, you'd understand that nitrous purpose motors are DOGS without the bottle.

Real talk though, I'm not hating.. just spittin real facts about cars/racing that 99.999% of these Hip Hop heads know absolutely nothing about and half this thread proves it.
