Sorry, bout this. In my years on various forums, this is the ONLY time I called B.S..

There are TWO big reasons why, first, the SRT "stage 2" weighs only 300 pounds more than you and and is making 95 more WHP than your 180...if indeed it DOES make what a stage 2 with OR without turbo toys SHOULD make you wouldn't have a chance...ESPECIALLY after third gear. The stock SRT will hit a rev limited top end at 155 mph @ 6000 rpm. A stage 2 SRT will beat (depending on the driver) an STi and EVO. You realize what you're saying here without anything to back it up...

The WS6 is pretty much the same as a Camaro SS with 320 Hp and 345 Tq. The stage 2 would have had a tough time with that one itself. The WS6 runs a STOCK quarter of mid 13's. And you're telling me you just caught up to it and had a tougher time with the Stage 2 SRT? The WS6 only weighs 3400 lbs, which is about the same weight as an STi.

I don't know what you're doing with your E-manage, so I refuse to speculate on your top end but something tells me it isn't the 155 or 162 of the stock SRT and the stock WS6 respectively.

The second reason I'm calling B.S. is with a race like that, and seeing as how you put so much money and time into it...you DIDN'T bring a video camera?

That WILL shut my mouth...if I see what you just claimed on a good daytime shot of video.

I hate being a hater, read it again, I HATE BEING A HATER! But this is too far fetched for me at this point.
I am not trying to be a dick here I think you are a very smart guy and this thread you have brought up some great points but on this you are wrong.

I am not sur eif he won or lost but that does not really matter. The Yaris weighs in at 2293 stock. A srt-4 is closer to 3k and a WS6 is well over 3k at a 1000lbs more weight the car would need 100whp more to beat the yaris in a race. If they are rated at 320whp this will put it around 270whp using a 15% drivetrain loss. The Yaris made 180whp so to say this would not be a close race is way off. Using the tried and true 10whp=100 pounds this would put the cars side by side. Using the Calc linked below with the inputted weight and 210whp (same 15% calc as above) for hp you will see it estimates a high 12's 1/4. This would be hard to achieve on stock open diff but mid 13's are a real possibility.

It is hard to believe that addind a turbo to a 1.5l makes it hang with V8 power but it is true. Weight is everything in racing and we do not have very much.

I am not sure about the SRT-4 but I would say driver and tune has a lot to do with it, I agree this is a much harder race to pull off and if he did driver error has a lot to do with it. SRT owners world wide hated us after the video below they said a Scion could never pull a SRT, this SRT was pretty modded no idea what.

We are all on the same team here there should be no lying on the part of anyone. I agree video is needed in cases such as these.
