Road & track srt-4 vs red line

[johnboy8221]

they did a side by side comparison between our cars in there road test edition. all in all it was a pretty good article overall score the srt-4 only beat us by .9 points i think if they tested it with a redline with the comp package we would have came out on top. the srt-4 took us on all of strait line speed tests but the redline owned all of the handling, braking test. with both cars there 1320 times where slow 14.5 for the srt-4 and 14.8 for the redline. We are diffentaly coming up in the world they said the redline would trounce on everything in it's price range except the srt-4

wow, another positive article about a crap car.... j/k, i love my car, and it's good to see it get some more good press.

We need upgrades GM, then you'd sell WAY more. not everyone wants to mod the car if it'll void warranties, but they'll do it if you back it, which means more $$$ in your pockets...

Is this a current issue of R&T? I seem to remember another such test between the two, but that was like half a year ago.

I think it would have been an even better comparision between the redline
with the comp package and the srt4 with the acr setup.

why is that, the only performance enhancing item in the competition package is the LSD which is stock on an SRT

doesn't the ACR setup include suspension components and smaller wheels, etc.?

yes, the acr is basically a track prepped car.
I was just following the orginal posters line of thought, " if " the redline had
the comp package, with " if " the srt had the acr package.

all factory options right?

I've heard of the ACR package for the SRTs, but what does that change on them? Is it mainly a suspension package, or is it more?

i hear ya on that, but it'd be nice to see what they'd do if an lsd were in the redline. hopefullly GM will come with a suspension upgrade package like the acr package.

i just cannot wait until we start to see some real performance out of these cars, it's exciting if you ask me. i'm sure it was the same way with the SRT at the beginning, though i didn't follow them much
