SRT4 VS Redline

I own a 05 Red SRT-4 and have come across only 2 Redlines up here in Maryland...I have to say that u guys/gals with the Redline have a nice platform to work with. I love the SRT-4 but it just gives me too much unwanted attention from cops, ricers (however you want to take that) SUV's that think its just a bodykited neon and the likes. But the Redline and Cobalt SS have some nice body styles...sleeper maybe? I don't know but I think you guys can really put some people to shame if there not up to date on their cars. Just wanted to know if you guys came across any SRT-4 yet? Oh well....maybe I'll actually go to the the stealership and see about test driving the Redlines and Cobalt.

Yes, raced one near stock and one with Stage 1 and Boost Controller lost to both.
I'm trying to track one down here in Chicago. It sounds like I'm gonna see his taillights, but I'm not afraid to be humbled by a faster accelerating car. Then I want to see what happens this spring at some SCCA events between them.



I hung with one in cat and mouse but I don't think he was maxing it out due to being on the interstate in late rush hour traffic. But we both had a little fun and he was impressed. I'm not sure if he was stock but it was an SRT4.

I agree with that a great deal. A few people I've run into think it's simply a kitted stock Ion with a trim package.
I raced a SRT-4 on the way to Key West in 3rd gear from 60 to 100 it was dead even. I think he was impressed or maybe pissed because he was looking at all of his gauges trying to figure out why this Stock Saturn was keeping up with him.
Where is the racing videos?
I just got walked by one from 55 mph to 100 this morning. Fast freakin' little cars.

It was the first I've ever encountered on the road.
i have a friend that has one with the stage one upgrades. we are going to take them to the track in a couple of weeks to see what happens.

I saw a silver SRT-4 on the road for the first time last night. It was in the middle of rush hour traffic so no fun, but the driver had a big grin on his face when he noticed that I was checking out his car. :cool:
I have yet to see a SRT-4 in my area, only neons.

I live in MD and have a black RL. Where in MD are you? Are you the SRT-4 that ate me for lunch on 695 last weekend??

There's a couple of fast ones in the south metro. There is a guy that lives down a few blocks from me that has one. I can hear him going to work in the morning, blow off valve and all. I love turbo cars so it is a nice way to start the morning :D

I'm not sure it was me.....if you saw the back of the SRT-4 did it have temp tags on it....if so then it was me, LOL. But now I got tints on my window so just give me a honk if any of u guys see me. Anyways I was on ritchie highway the other night and man....the SRT-4 did some pretty takedowns on some hondas and stock GT mustangs, But when the big boys came out I had to get out of the way for reals. My boy with a Syclone (still stock) was out racing some guy with a 12sec Camero, i tried to go against a Older black mustang with a BIG supercharger on it, even the red mustang had a damn roll cage in it..but you'd never see it with the tints. And all but not least.....a 500+ hp Honda S2000 that sounded mean as shit. But my big win was against a Caddy CTS on 695 around 2am which was clear for about 4 miles out. He'd take me all the way up to 90, after that I started to catch up..then i just walked away around 120. If any of u guys get together down here in Maryland I'll come to chat with you guys...shit maybe someone can give me ride while i video tape... :D

A CTS took you to 90? Was it a V Series one?

It did have temp tags on it. It was over by Bel Air road headed towards Towson.
Yeah...I think it was me. I got on the beltway coming from route 1 heading towards Randallstown (going towards Towson) on the beltway on the fast (left hand) lane.

I don't think it was the V series cause I think they have a LS1 or LS6 in it (not exactly sure). It might have been since the regular one has a V6 I think, either way I still couldn't touch it till i got past 90+mph.
The V series for Caddy's don't come out until later this year, do they?? I thought summer/fall 2005 was the release dates on those. If I had the cash I would love an STS-V.....*DRROOOOOL*
I know the CTS-V is out, I saw one every morning since about December(?), in the parking lot of Starbucks. I keep seeing one that says xiV on the driver's side ground effect on my way to work for the last 2 weeks as well. Just look for the shiny grills!
