Maybe the SRT-4. I think stock they do like 13.5, I thhink don't take my word for it. The evo is AWD I'm thinkin he would beat you, but again don't take my word for it wait for others to chime in, i'm no expert.

EDIT: and if your doing this on the streets I would advise against it, go to the track, but if on the streets make sure roads are empty.

EDIT:x2 Nvrmnd your on the track.

I would say the track for now, I had a bad accident on the highway back in December. I hit black ice and rolled (or flipped) my Nissan Spec-V at a 140mph. There were 12 impact marks on the ground, not to mention the times flipping in the air. Everything was smahed, but the engine was good. I walked away with a scratch on my hand and a stiff neck...God was with me on that night!!!

Holy hell....that's insane man. Me and my friend crashed head on into a freakin school bus. I think we were going about 80mph. We all walked away fine. It was in a Prelude type SH.

Stock for Stock there all Close. At my local 1/8th mile track I have seen a Stock Srt-4 run low 9's, But i have raced a modified one run 8.10's So they can be quick ( I killed him by a car off the starting line), As for the Evo, I see them in the 14's Mostly 1/4 mile. I say it will be a good race AS long as you can get traction, I wouldn't run Street tires at a track, B/C your just going to Spin Which will cause you to loose if you don't know how to pedal it good.

I have previously owned 2 srt 4's and i raced my buddys s13 modded rb20 and i beat him every time. I dont think you will have a chance with the srt or the evo.

stage 2 srt4 can put down high 12's or low 13's with a good driver. think a stock rb20det setup will get handed, unless you up the boost. but your setup may give him a good run.

I have personally handed it to two stage 3 srt-4s at the track but, I wouldn't consider myself stock.

I just seen a SRT-4 on Passtime, He didn't state his STAGE, But he said he was running 18lbs of boost, he put down a 12.02, So there mean, but he was running drag slicks also, Thats going to be the Win or loose of this race IMO.

why were you going 140mph on a public road and i always love how people blame something else when they wreck doing something stupid.

and p.s. the better driver will win. bench racing is gay.

Yeah it was my fault. I hit black ice which got the back end around, I said a prayer and just had everything flash before my eyes. It was the dumbest thing I ever did, and since my accident I havent taken the car past 75mph on the public roads. I am an huge fan of the track now, and I really discourage my friends that still run on the streets

Plus I know bench racing is stupid, but I dont want to look like an idot in front of my friends, since I hate Dodge's.

Still its no ones fault but my own...Anyways I found out that my friend is only stage 1 and is running 17lbs boost. So I wonder is a stage 1 SRT 4 still pretty fast??? Edit from earlier I meant 255, accidentally hit 225, on the pump.

Be a real man and take him to a road course, if you're any good at driving you'll see who's an idiot first hand.

That would be fun, considering I just tightened up the suspension. I have done road racing before..the indy car experince in the pocconos here in PA. Just need to find a public race course around here!

Dodge is also suppose to be making the Dodge Hornet which will also have a Nissan drivetrain.

This mostly stock RB20 car beat a EVO from a Roll, you have more mods and a lighter car, at the track though it will all be in the launch

I ran a 13.6 @103 on my stock turbo with a few bolt ons and 13 psi. A stock evo with a perfect launch is sitting at a 13.4. If you dont win, its because of driver error, or poor traction.
