Every time I swing past 5700RPM in 4th. Seriously though, probably not often enough. With traffic, lights, a stock clutch and trans, it's hard to really beat on the car. I love first gear now, you really feel the boost come on and it pulls nicely to red line. With a proper driver, a proper launch and a good run, the car might be a 12 second car. I'm not too far short of 99Venom's old 300whp number and he ran a 12.33, BUT he's a lunatic-full-throttle-rev-limit launcher. I'm way too much of a puss to get close to that number. One of the reasons I haven't bothered tracking the car really...it would just be embarassing, especially since quite a few of the local Scooby people know how much power my car makes. I plan to auto-x occasionally, but will likely get handed my ass because of all the boost lag...it would still be more fun than dragging the car though.

Like I said, wasn't flaming the thread, just haven't ever thought of my car as "fast" because I've seen many Scoobs that are faster to significantly faster. I like to think of my car as nicely balanced between straightline speed and twisty road agility. With the proper camber adjustments and tire pressures, I'm pretty sure she would pull 1.0g laterally and she should be good for at least 100-105mph through the quarter with my punk ass behind the wheel. That's why I've done what I have done to the car so far. Plus, I just love having new shit go into the car every once in a while. It's fun.

BaggedGalant - Relax brotha, you'll live longer. I was aware of the SRT-4's manifold/turbo setup. It's only a matter of fabrication and $$$ to make bolt-on kits. Whether or not these kits are as yet available never entered my mind, as I do not own the car nor do I intend to buy one. Just wondering why a thread about a 12s skittle had gotten so long. It's a skittle, it runs 12s. Good times.
