I agree with 3000's last post. Its unfair to the stock car to compare it to a modified car. I have seen a professionally modified Honda Civic with 600+ HP that costs less then my S2 M3, and would probably take me pretty easily on a 1/4 mile. But would I want that civic simply because it could outrun my M3? The answer would have to be no.
When you compare modified cars against stock cars, odds are the modded car will win. Its been shown numerous times that you can make cheap cars go faster then more expensive cars for less then the difference.
As for the arguement between SRT4 and Evo VIII, I bet the SRT4 would win in 0-60 or 1/4 mile with sufficient modification. However you would have to buy more then just coil overs to make the SRT4 outhandle the Evo. The Evo is considered to be the best handling car under $30,000. The SRT4 is FWD, which everyone who understands cars knows is not very good. The Evo's AWD system eclipses the SRT4's FWD. So if you want a drag car, the SRT4 might be a better choice. If you want a better handling, better looking (argueable I guess) car, get the Evo.
