I got a buddy with an srt4 with dp, mbc, and wastegate. My IX was stock at the time and we screwed around one day during lunch break (out of the city). Both dig and roll I had him by at least 1 1/2 to 2 car lengths. The wastegate helps alot on them, but not enough! Stock srt=no chance.

Just gettin' into the Evo scene now, so just curious on how wrong is it to run just an intake on an Evo?? How bout an intake/exhaust???

As for the race, I'm sure an 03'-04' Evo VIII can take a stock SRT4, so a IX would have no issues whether it's from a roll or not. Let us know what happens!

I still race from a roll (on a closed circut ofcourse....) because only 1/100 want to go from a dig. Besides, I like to tell them to run Supra's from a roll when they bring it up. That usually pisses them off but I love it. Good Luck !! If you can drive you will win from a roll. Most Neon's I see at the track trap 105-110 when having the "usual" mods. I trap 114 so no worries from a roll.
Dont do it from a roll if hes a good driver theres a chance he can take u just by a bit like 1/4 of a car. Im stock and i raced a 06MR and took him by 1/2 a car(from a roll of course) but im on 15lbs. And people please think befor you write something on here, some of you sound like little kids. By the way im not trying to be a di*k or anything, i would rather have an evo than a srt, which is why im going to get one in a couple of months. LOL a ricer roll, omg how do you race on the highway? stop in the middle??? thats just a accident waiting to happen!

Srt 4 are pretty fast from a roll but if he's stock, i have all the confidence in the world in your IX, so go out and dust him and for the next few months, he'll be telling people how mean you are to him.

Bad driver perhaps? I ran into a stock skittle when my IX was stock and I certainly didn't have any trouble from a 40 roll. Anything can happen on the streets.

roll or drag you will win.. the 9 is much faster than 03, 04s. take the intake off and get a flash and exhaust. youn will pick up 60-65 whp from that alone. (on 91)

Shouldn't be a problem, whats the big deal anyways with young punks always talking sh|t and wanting to race? i mean really, tell him to follow you on some twisties, im sure his car, lacking LSD, will outhandle you as well.

revise your question to "How bad will I beat a srt4?"....you have an evo 9 you have nothing to worry about....
