stock srt4 vs stock evo viii

Last night i got into a heated arguement with a srt4 owner about who would win from a 40 roll (both stock). I said that there is no way in hell a srt4 would beat an evo viii from a roll from personal experience. And this guy insist that an srt4 would be dominant from a roll, he said that there are plenty of videos that prove it.What do you guys think?

i have never lost to an srtslow i mean 4 from any roll or even a standstill. but you got to add in how well a driver is behind the wheel.

Ummm... No... They've got 250 ft-lbs of torque, but only 205 hp stock. The Evos put out a bit more than that...

Actually they have 235HP stock and most put that too the wheels in stock form. Evo should still win but not by a whole lot depending on drivers.

WHOA WHOA WHOA i never said i fear them...i just said they were lighter and that helps them out since they are lower HP...

i was bieng facetious in saying your sig listed all your mods...i know how fast evos run...i also know that there are some serious SRT-4's in San Diego that would eat my Evo alive...somewhere in the world of 450 to 500whp i know of 2 specifically.

and yes it is not hard to beat a "stock SRT-4" especially when you are running 12.1

I think the big "Fear" comes form the fact that they all wanna go from a roll, "on a closed course without a doubt". From a dig they are nothing that my truck cant smoke, but from a roll with a few mods can be a little bit frisky. Especially my buddies with a 50 trim on it, its a hand full.


(but might i add that even with a 50 trim the car is still useless, by the time they catch traction which seems like never the other person has already checked out and hit the brakes. With a big turbo the cars can pull hard on a highway pull but the fun aspect of driving that alot of evo owners go for it nearly never attainable with a srt.)
