Was just being sarcastic, Poly.

Sarcasm is great but it doesnt work to well on line so lets not try it...And if you do put sarcasm in (). it will help i think.

On the average an SRT driver is gonna have alot more problems launching the car then a WRX driver. I mean FWD w/ 215 fwhp. Can you say wheel hop. Let alone if the driver can get the car to track straight. I've heard of the "dollar mod" which will bring the car into the mid 13's. some guy on LS1.com has one. I'm sure he will be willing to race a WRX driver that can race at California Speedway. Stock for stock it is faster then the WRX, not to mention that it's forged internals can handle alot of boost.

fatninja...

just to clarify, my post wasn't directed at you...

it was directed at the post you were talking about...

in regards to tracking straight...

it's interesting to note that the srt4 doesn't have a limited slip in it from what i remember... ( i may be wrong there)

but anyways...

Ladyluke, nah.. I think i'll just keep wiht my sarcasm. People who are used to me will understand, and the others that aren't can just think whatever.

2000z28, I've also heard many people having a hard time launching their WRX's... Well at least poeple who care about the transmission and such. My friend complains about bogging the launch a lot. Idunno.. guess they're just not pro's like me

(now that was very very sarcastic)

fly, coooooool.

and the srt4 has more hp and quicker 1/4 times...

runs 14.2
whats a wrx run?

and the srt4 is rated at 215hp at the crank, but puts 220ish to the wheels and 250ish tq...

(per automobile magazine)

it's not just some girls car.

sorry.

and considering there aren't any mods yet available, you didn't race any modded ones.

my wrx runs 14 flat 227 at crank and puts out more hp and tq and thats on my bad days, i walk those cars all day

Are you sure the SRT-4 drivers aren't sleeping while you race them ? I just got done reading another article in motortrend about the SRT-4 and they ran a 13.89 STOCK !!! It is harder to get a WRX to go a 14 flat than a SRT-4 because of the AWD. I'm sorry to break it to you but a SRT-4 will take you. You can deny that all you want but fact is the SRT-4 is faster than a WRX stock for stock. And by the way I like WRX's way better than SRT-4 but it is the way it is.

04 SRT4's run mid 13's, and even an 03 will tear you up from a roll any day and from a standstill if you make one small mistake.

Wow...lot's of misinformation in this thread. I just bought a 2004 SRT-4 2 weeks ago. I looked at the WRX for a long time and test drove each car 2-3 times before I finally made my decision.

AWD is very cool IMO, but I couldn't justify the added expense considering I have an SUV for the occasional winter trip up the mountains anyways. On top of that, and speaking of the SRT Forums, there is a member in there who owns both a '02 WRX and an '03 SRT-4. Aside from aftermarket rims he hasn't done any significant modding to either cars. He loves them both but has said very matter-of-factly more than once that his Dodge is a little faster than his Subaru...from a roll and off the line.

I think the real debate right now is EVO vs. SRT-4. It sounds like the '03 SRT-4's may be a little slower than the EVO while the '04 SRT-4's may be a little quicker. Keep in mind we're talking about .1 and .2 seconds in a 1/4 mile...so it's gonna be a driver's race everytime anyhow.

'03's are a lot slower, '04s are... still slower

i read a test about the two cars before, if i remember correctly it saids that the wrx barely beats the srt-4 in the 1/4, but after that the srt-4 just passes it easily.

I'd sure like to race one and see. Both cars dyno almost identical horsepower at the wheels, the EVO has AWD, and the SRT-4 has more torque. Like I said...it would be a driver's race. I belive EVO and SRT-4 owners could agree on that much.

I went to an event called Jap Fest. They were racing all sorts of very modified Japanesse cars. Let me put it this way, the only car there that impressed me were the EVOs.

The EVOs going around corners, were rock soild, while all the other cars (GTRs, RX-7s, WRXs, Supras, 300Zs, etc) all had body roll. I am not talking about just one or two EVOs ether. There must have been 12-15 of them. They all handled like that. Like I said, very impressed.

There was one there putting out over 500 to the wheels, with a very docile idle as well. So, they can be tuned for very good power.

My 2cents.

Alright just to clear some things up. No matter if 03 or 04 a SRT-4 is not gonna touch an EVO period. Just looking at the numbers out of Motortrend (which is in my opinion the best magazine) the EVO does 0-60 in 4.59 and the 1/4 mile in 13.08. Those are the actual numbers that they came up with and if anyone does not believe me read motortrend June 03. Now the numbers for the SRT-4 for 03 are 13.99 for the 1/4 mile and I'm not sure what the 0-60 was. Something like 5.6sec. The 04 was only slightly quicker and turned the 1/4 mile in 13.89.
I won't even go into handling because the EVO would make the SRT-4 cry. So much for those two cars.
As for the WRX being slightly faster through the 1/4 mile that is untrue. The WRX will do the 1/4 mile in 14.1 which is still slower than the SRT-4. The only place the WRX edges the out the SRT-4 in acceleration is 0-60, which takes the WRX 5.4 seconds.
I hope this cleared some things up and for any non-believers, this is all based on facts from a very respectable car magazine.
