05 G35X. auto shiftin'.
Went from 50 with the cobalt, instantly started pulling, about 7 car lengths by 140.
The SRT 4 had an intake and was 20PSI. Went from a 25mph roll. he pulled about a half of car in first. Redlined out of second, by 3rd we were dead even all the way until about 130, then i instantly pulled 3/4 of car when he shifted into 5th.
Both of these are from a roll because you can only launch at 3k with the brake in an auto. The passenger in the Dodge got a really good video of the race, (dead even)
Those cars are still unstable even after people dump like 3-4 grand into suspension work.

i dunno man... the SRTs are FAST from a roll...
any mods in your G? I've seen a video w/ an 04 6mt coupe vs an SRT w/ intake and exhaust from a roll... the SRT was half a car up and gaining until high speeds, then the G was able to pick up. I don't know how the g35x runs, but i do know SRT's are fast, especially from a roll... show the vid
have u been in a srt doing 130mph probally not its very stable even at 150mph its stable know ur facts before u put ur information out there
Yeah I actually have been in an SRT-4 going over 120 MPH(not sure if it was 130 or not). I've also driven several of them and riden along in a few at autocross events.
They aren't stable. I'm not saying they are anywhere near as unstable as 1970 Chevelle... but they are unstable for a car intended to be a performer.
No matter what you do to them for suspension work, it's still a Neon frame and isn't going to be a great high speed car or a very rigid vehicle. If a car isn't stable on a safe, smooth and well-defined autocross course at 55-60 MPH, chances are that it's not going to be stable out on a public road at 130-150 MPH where you have bumps and wind and the element of unknown factored in.
We had one guy whose rear wheel would lift completely off the ground in an SRT-4 as he was going around the corners of the course and it would just spin from momentum.... that's how badly the car leaned and flexed in the corners.

Yea, these stories sound kinda fishy to me. Unless the G35X is pretty well modded, than OK, it's possible. Or maybe they just didn't know how to drive (at all) . Post the vid so we can analyze.
BTW Trinispeed, if you say that a Neon.......oh sorry.....an SRT-4 is stable at 150mph than you have no idea what the word "stable" means.
This is my fathers car, beleive me, it's all stock. I've seen the video of the 04 6mt racing the SRT4, he lost because the 6spd gearing is differen't from the 5spd's. The 6mt would burn an x from a stop, but the x would pull on it from a roll. (if they are both 280hp of coarse) This is something that not many people know. I've also raced a 350Z and was able to keep infront of him, i had about a 2 1/2 car head start, he started to catch up pretty quick until we went over 120 , then he was not able to pass me. It seemed that the SRT's 4th gear is alot shorter than that of the G35x, because i wan't able to pull until he went into 5th. I'll work on getting the video from the neon guy.

Is there a Sedan that comes with 280hp? I just thought it was 298hp on the new 6spd Sedan, and maybe the same 270 or 260hp on the new auto Sedan

a 298 hp sedan that is putting all the power down to the ground could outrun the coupe. it's a driver's race.

he didn't lose because of gearing man. he lost because the SRT was in stage 1 mods, and his car was stock. his boost was simply outrunning him. yea the 6mt has the extra gear, but its also close ratio, so it would get to 5th gear alot faster than the neon could
