SRT4 is teh fastar!!!1!!

So im sitting here on the computer and one of my girlfriends friends ask's what I think about the Neon SRT4, obviously I told him its probably a good paper weight. He then says I must not know alot about cars because "a stock SRT4 is faster than a Viper". When I asked him how he thought 230hp was gonna be quicker than 400-500hp, he said I didnt know what I was talking about because a stock SRT4 has more hp than that................So I ended the conversation.

Silly people.

I once read a thread a guy started on supercars.net saying that his car (some compact) could beat a Veyron. Apparently he had 6 turbochargers, about a 250 HP shot of NOS, and a special cooling system for his tires so they didn't melt.

No one ever accused these people of being intelligent.

LOL. I can try tracking it down, but he probably used some sort of antimatter-fueled system with liquid nitrogen cooling.

Beside, apparently his little car goes 300-ish MPH. Even the racer can't go THAT fast.

I read that disney put a motorcycle engine in a fiat for one of their shows. Put out 150-180 HP and the car weighed 1000lbs which would put it on similar ground to a viper.

I cant expect that from him, he already thinks I need to find a "professional" to work on my car because of our conversation.
