2002 sxt vs. 2003 r/t

Post by drsokol » Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:02 pm

so my buddy has an '03 r/t and we did a few roll races over the weekend. from a 25 roll and from a 30 roll i get him by about half a car length. From a 40 roll he gets me by a fender. How much of a difference would it make by getting a 3.94 trans and droppin it in my car?

The r/t trans on my car made a world of difference. Almost made it fun to drive.

haha yea im hoping to get a job out of school at Chrysler as a result of the internship i had there over the summer. If that happens im looking at some toys for the neon. I'm planning on taking my car back to the drag strip as the first time i went i just bought the car and it had spark plugs in it that had 112,000 miles on them that were over double the stock gap with the electrodes worn, an air filter that was quite dirty and clogged, and 185 wide tires that are about a 600 tread wear rating. with all that against me i still managed a 16.7 with a 2.5 60 foot
