nice vid, but I must admit the mustang does sound nice even though you whooped him.

Not to take the other guys back, as he really does sound like a bullshitter....BUT MOPAR offers factory "Stage" upgrades for the SRT4. The first year didn't get any of them, but the 2nd and last year came stock with the stage I and a LSD. You could opt to get a stage II and a stage III, not sure of what is offered from the factory beyond that.
Primer/flat black is for ricers, too. Anything non-rice that is flat black makes me want to puke.

Whether or not he actually did it...thats a diff story. Anything in "stages" is stupid. I had a guy in my apartment complex ask me about the size of the turbo on my car, and I told him. He immediately followed up with a "Damn, that must be what, stage 3?" Our conversation quickly ended after that.

There's this total bullshitter at work who talks about a different car he has every week. Last week he claimed to have an SRT 4 that he just put a "Stage 2" kit on. So I asked him about it and he says "yeah...it's goin in tomorrow for the Stage 3" so I'm like "I never saw it, what color is it?" and he says "Flat Black." A) if someone claims to have a flat black, like primered black SRT4, that goes in and out of the shop every other day, they're full of ****, 2) anyone who refers to an upgrade as a "stage" they don't know what the F talking about, and D) don't ever try to bullshit someone who knows about cars like I do, cause you'll just make yourself look like an idiot. That was last week...
So this week he says he bought a 5.0 last Friday, and over the weekend he put a Cobra R intake on it with GT-40 heads, and before he bolted on his imaginery parts he says he ran it at some drag strip and it went 13.5. So I told him to line up with my buddy's 5.0 which has full exhaust, gears, and an "E" cam...he says "I won't even waste my time." So I go..."oh yeah, how bout runnin my miata...for $100" and he's like "I don't know man...I gotta finish hooking up my nitrous first, then we'll talk." What a smacked ***. I don't understand the purpose of being such a bullshitter. Real easy solution...buy a car that's not fake, make it faster than it was when you bought it, race people and throw some money down, lose to a miata, pee your pants, cry your eyes out, and keep your mouth shut.

As for talking bullshit.... I have a friend (who I don't really like or consider my friend, but he is friends with my friends.... for some reason
) who is the biggest **** talker ever. He has a 06 gt with a whipple supercharger. He thought he was the **** when he had just a tune, intake and exhaust on his mustang. (So you can imagine what a supercharger did to his ego...)First off, he doesn't pay for ****... second off he doesn't know ****..... and third off he can't drive for **** ( and its AUTOMATIC
) He got the whipple put on and I love to mess with his mind. I'll say "ya man you run any new Z06's yet?" He'll say something like ya, I'm right at their door till like 160. His car is a ******* boat... like 3700 lbs. with around 440 whp. My 320 whp MR2 would tear him a new one. A Z06 would absolutely rape him.

Drewkeen: The 04-05 got only the S1 injectors, but not the S1 PCM.

Some brands have stages of different things. However, it makes no sense if you dont know anything about the car. A better simple question would be "how much boost?"

haha yeah, I hadnt really thought about it. i havent priced either but it would suck to blow the rear end. If i did, hopefully the torsen would be okay and i could drop some of those 3.308 gears in it.
