i think a neon (or any small car) with that much power would scare me to drive. i love going very fast on my bike, and in a car as well, but ive been in a strip built VW bug that pulled a 10, that was very scary to me. the driver was crazy, that also may have had something to do with it.

props to building a very fast commuter car tho, i always love seeing people get dissed by cars that "shouldnt beat them" lol

Just about any liter bike will outrun that neon for top speed, you're gonna be redline limited at around 150mph won't you?

With stock gearing and a redline that has been moved from 6k to 8k, a bit of speed is gained. :p

Now just to clarify. This is my brother's car which has been his money but both our labors.

Ahh didn't see that on the dyno earlier. Hope you are yelling "frag out!" whenever you drop the hammer :p Looking forward to some tranny grenade videos down the road.

Not sure if the AEM standalone has the same problems as it does on Subaru's, but be VERY careful of high rpm misfires. The AEM unit has been linked to several blown motors in the Subaru world for crank position sensor problems. They have gone through several revisions (you might want to email them and make sure yours is the latest revision, they will update for free), but I know of at least 1 person who was running with the latest revision and chewed up a brand new sleeved SB.

Aside from that, enjoy! I've been running a GT35R in an '07 STI for a couple years now and when its running well it never fails to satisfy. If you have a chance to offload the AEM go get yourself a ViPEC!

Where you from OP?
I know a couple guys who had 12 second SRT's in the Southwestern Ontario area..

They are awesome cars.. They make not be a track car (turns) but in a straight line, you can't beat the speed.. The pull is retarded.

There was an 11 second SRT4 at Armdrop Live last year at Toronto Motorsports Park. Also a 10 second Subaru WRX Wagon who believe it or not is still using the stock ecu. Was hoping to get my STI into the 10 sec club this year, but it might have to wait one more. Although I did just find out that my heads (first of their generation to be reworked) way outflow the Cosworth big port offerings as well as several engine builds personal race heads.

So if anyone else was at Brainerd, MN this past weekend, my brother ran his car down the quarter... once.

First run was a 12.1, 118 mph. Didn't datalog, but found the pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body was coming off. Fixed, then he went for the second run. 60 foot time was ~1.8 (slicks were used).

Second run had him line up and launch from 6000 rpm. Went ~2 feet, as he'd broken the axle. Oh well, time to fix the weakest link!

Almost 600whp and trap speed is 118mph? Did it change after the intercooler pipe was fixed?

We didn't do another run. We had driven the car up, knew the axles was the weakest link, so we had a single spare set. That let us drive it home, but not get any more pulls in. That time seems more like the 400 hp neons and their times.

FWIW - a current literbike is insane compared to this stuff.


I have a friend who bought a heavily modded 911 Turbo, and after my 1098 this stuff sorta bores me.

Fast bikes are for people that can't afford fast cars.
Liter bikes putting down way over 150 ponies should be flat out banned from the streets. These are race bikes, they belong on a track under controlled conditions. They do not belong in the hands of a twenty year old kid with no common sense.

This isn't the USSR, Cuba, or Venezuela. Here in the US, need and want is determined by what we can afford and chose to spend our money on, not what you or some other totalitarion prick mandates.

You must be one of those douchebags that like to pull out in front of bikes and risk their lives because you think they need to slow down,, instead of just letting them pass, huh? Far more bikers are killed by people in cars who think they own the road, than kill themselves. And those that do kill themselves, who cares? Who are you to mandate what people can do and what kind of risks they choose to take with their *own* bodies?

You can't legislate stupidity, all it does is take away the rights of the non stupid.

I may very well be a totalitarian prick, but the fools who pass me on the freeway doing a wheelie at 90+ not only kill themselves, but occasionally others as well. That's what bothers me. As for the rest of your rant, it's all wrong. You see, I'm a rider myself, so don't try to bullshit me with stories of cars trying to control bikes, it may happen now and then, but it's by no means a common practice.
I stand by my words, there is no reason to have a bike on the street that can do the legal limit on any road in the US in first gear.

I'm going to cry just thinking about how you could have put half as much money into a car 100 times as good without trying. What a waste.

I doubt there are many cars that have the performance per dollar than an SRT4 has including the aftermarket.

I do trackdays, wear full gear, and never intentionally lofted the front on my 1098. I never got a ticket, never got pulled over, never had an accident. I bought the bike, had full coverage, obeyed the rules of the road (as much as any cage, anyway..). I started out on a GS500, put ~40k on it before moving up. I had many many bikes before moving up to a liter, and the 1098 was by far the best streetbike I've owned.


I've been pushed out of lanes numerous times, nearly sideswiped, ran off the road, rear ended (light bump at a red light), cut off on a regular basis, etc etc etc


I don't even believe you ride.

Im interested to find out what he runs with the charge pipe fixed. Around here a run like that would certainly not be indicative of 600whp. We have 400whp Subaru's trapping low 11's.

Wait till I get my Focus supercharged, I just got word F2 USA is working on a supercharger due out soon. Preliminary tests are showing 280+ HP with everything else stock, with an intake, race headers, exhaust, she should easily pull 300 HP.
