Are you talking about the 2TR-FE 2.7L 4 cyl in the 2005+ Tacoma??

I can tell you it is a friggin DOG. It starts to be fun if you put the URD Supercharger kit on it, but without it you will hate it.

He must have been doing it wrong, with more brake HP and less weight on 'Paper' the SRT should pull on a base X

Want, so much want! Yes, it is a DOG. Need to curtail this axle wrap now that I have LSD in the rear first though.

I can see this happening


These is also this Ausi company that builds turbo kits for the 2tr.

The SRT4 he was referring to was me and if I recall someone missed a shift :hmmmm2:

I ran 3 Xrunner that might and they all lost, one of them stayed right behind me through third gear then I walked away through fourth. From a dig, the Xrunner has a good chance because the Caliber will not get traction until third gear hence why the stock PCM limits the torque through first and second and will need a serious driver mod to make a dig worth while other wise in a roll at 40 forget the SRT4 is in boost!

LMAO, nice. I was going to say 2nd and 3rd gear pulls in my Pop'ses SRT was phenomenal, if you ignored the tq steer.

One of the few reasons the car is no longer with me, it became a loosing battle, as you put more performance parts on you had to invest more money into parts to reduce torque steer but I must say it's a nice forearm workout. I do miss the turbo 4 power and fuel economy when you behaved but I had missed the X more and RWD!

Yeah, why Dodge and Ford stick with the FWD platform for the consumer market but give the AWD platform to WRC and RX is beyond me.

It's all down to the bottom line, make the car affordable, besides its hard to compete with weak platforms when the 'others' have been improving on the same platform for years. Ralph Giles has even said that they don't have a suitable platform to make another SRT4 but I believe there is a change for dodge soon :dontknow:

The awd race variants are converted by the race teams by various builders

The dart seems to be doing alright, only time will tell. It seems as the Germans and Japs are still leading the way. The trucks have excelled well since they departed Chrysler and became their own branch.

No ignoring anyone .....just have not been around. I haven't received any texts from you. The Universe spoke to me and I felt I needed to set that story straight. lmao

I have beaten a couple highly modified rides in my slightly modified NA XR but it was due to the other driver having issues. Funny thing is I suck at racing too.
