Srt4 Vs Wrx

[SkylineUSA]

Steiner,

Good post.

look, this needs to end. first off, the srt-4 is faster stock than the wrx. woo hoo. (it also has .4 more litres than the wrx, and when were talking 2.0 v 2.4, it makes quite a difference.) The wrx will take it for a run anywhere else though.

i set up a street race, over about 3 miles of roads, mostly unused ones. i drove my 02 wrx WAGON, which has header back and an intake, against a srt-4 with mopar stage 2 . in the first part, it was all straight. i started to get my ass kicked pretty bad, but as soon as the roads started winding, and eventually our corse had some turns in it, i not only caught up, but i passed, and finished atleast 5 seconds before the srt-4. lets face it, the srt-4 just cant handle anything thats not straight, completely dry, and clean.

i can race my wrx in the rain, snow, and on gravel roads. id like to see an srt-4 owner who will challenge a wrx owner when it isnt 80 and sunny on fresh asphalt.

when it comes to unlocking more power from your cars engine, the wrx wins hands down. i know several people who drive wrx's with 400+ hp as their daily drivers. a neons engine will not take that very well, atleast without serious work.

not only is the srt-4 extremely tempermental when it comes to mods, it has no ability to get the added horse power to the ground. the subaru on the other hand, despite a little wheel slip from high horse power, will ground almost every ounce of what it has.

the srt-4 comes faster than the wrx, but who cares. no one who buys one, and is worried enough to read this forum, leaves their car stock anyways.

driving doesnt take place in straigh lines, it happens on roads that twist and turn. and in those turns, the wrx will ground its power and win over the srt-4 any day. when mopar comes out with a handy upgrade to make the neon AWD, let me know and ill be interested, but untill that day, in my own opinion, subaru has engineered a much more capable, mod friendly, and overall greater car.

in the end, the srt-4 is still a NEON made by lazy american workers (lets face it people, we cant wait till the end of the day so we can leave work). when straight line stock vs stock racing is all you care about, get the neon. but if you want a car that can actually use its horse power anytime, buy the wrx.

It did end, over a year ago! Close this thread. Noob be warned "Don't Bring Back Old Threads". Check the dates. There should be something about this in the rules and regulations. Late...

first of all before you start BSing you might want to study that terminology of yours. In case of turbo cars a full exaust is generally refered to as turbo back and not header back.

Second you might want to avoid resurecting ancient posts. Closed
