Defeats

[Ozstung]

Hmm. Stock SRT Jeep is 4.4 0-60, 12.8-12.9 1/4 mile (based on some SRT Jeep forum postings). Slightly slower than a Charger / Challenger SRT. Since we're *THIS* close to a Charger SRT, shouldn't we more or less be able to keep up? I think the Jeep is AWD, which may help it from a dig. From a roll, I think we slowly lose. With jb4, we should win.

Unless of course, Jeep Trackhawk (i.e. Hellcat Jeep with 700+ HP). In that case, the oil companies win

Ok more info it made a sound a kin to a top fueler and on acceleration the back dipped down, coulda been a trackhawk it was just a blur.

According to car and driver: Stinger VS Charger, Car and Driver

You need to be modded to even try to keep up with an SRT (with good traction). 12.3 1/4 vs 12.9 1/4. Most people say you need Jb4 on Map3 to make those numbers.

I initiated a deliberate defeat last weekend. "I do not race." Ahead of me was a pristine, white Camaro (can't be more specific, but it was clearly not stock, w/aftermarket wheels and altered badging). He tried to make the light but it went yellow on him too soon; so I ended up beside him on the front row. On green he moderately accelerated and when he was two or three car lengths ahead, I gunned it and shot past him, then backed off as I reached the speed limit (which is less than ten over). I watched him coming and heard that gorgeous V8, and then a white bolt streaked past me and got very tiny with distance. He slowed down when he realized that he was on his own.

That's just cruel.

Just reading some of your posts, how many of you have a JB1 or comparable tune?

JB4**

JB4**

I can relate to that ! I own one. Running on Map 1 because I haven't changed spark plugs yet.

There's a lot of people in the forums proudly displaying their mods in their signature.

Most people will go JB4 for the price/perf and customer service.

There's also PROSS Lap3 Pro for double the price, and Tork Motorsports' tune available.
I don't think many people here have a RaceChip.

That’s awesome! How have you held up with impromptu fun races with other cars on Map 1?

The Racechip did it's job, but the power delivery was harsh and I was a little skeptical about what it was doing to the drive train when it kept slamming gears. JB4 is smoother, especially now with the updated firmware.

Well I suffered a humiliating loss, all thanks to my stupid allergies. I was stopped at a light next to a BMW M235 or 240 with at least an exhaust, that I had beat easily from a roll a few miles back. No cars ahead of us, no cars on the cross road, getting ready to punch it....and I'm suddenly hit with a sneezing fit right as the light turns green. By the time it passed, he was several cars ahead.

Ah well, at least the fit didn't hit while I was moving.

I also got "defeated" today - was driving in moderately slow (slow in my definition) with traffic flow in lane 3 of 3. Once middle lane opened up, I decided to cross over to drive a bit over limit. All of a sudden I see a BMW 745LI (at least model year 2010) on my ass. So I gradually accelerate (I didn't punch it) to move him/her off. It seems like he/she was being aggressive as he/she was still on my butt so I pushed a bit harder until I had to release the pedal because of a dang SUV in front of me. Then I moved back to lane 3 of 3 because I needed to exit, but 745LI person kept going and zoomed past.

Disclaimer: I have a hard time pressing pedal all the way down for some reason. I remember first launch control I did on this model (not my car) and salesperson kept saying that he wanted me to press the gas all the way - and that I could do a better launch control.

For the same reason I've ordered a Sprint Booster.

Did you get the Sprint Booster and if so, what is your experience? Is the car more responsive? I'm specifically wondering if the throttle plate opens faster reducing throttle input lag.

I have the racechip black and love it. just enough of a boost without going too crazy. the mrs likes it more. I have posted about her exploits and can honestly say, I have had my fair share of losses. but, in my defense, I was right there on them. but, a loss is a loss. the only really big loss, we weren't really racing, was against a gtr. saw his taillights, pulled up alongside him, waved and floored it. I had a good two car lengths on him wondering if he was going to go, and then he went. like right now. he was getting off the interstate at the same exit and he waited for me. asked me what happened. I told him, what? we were racing? I was in second gear the whole time. he kind of gave me that wtf look and smiled and said when I grow up, we can race again. psssh! grow up! as if!

Get a Tesla X that can go 0-60 in 2.7 seconds with "Ludicrous" mode. That's the future we're headed when you "grow up".
