Nothing i get will compair to the performance of the Srt-4. I don't even want to touch a 1.8t cause of thier crappy tranny. Nothing but bad news. The Vr6 is faster stock but thats not what i am looken for. I want to go for more of a car that is an Autocrosser. The 1.8t is a spirited comuter. The Vr6 is a lil more serious with the 6spd and a better suspension. I would kill for a 337 or an anaversery addition gti but with the price thats outa the question.

Focus Svt costs less, better suspension and a superp 6 speed.

After driving a turbo car for a while i don't think i want another one. I don't really like turbos. I couldn't stand having to sit my car after driving it to cool down the turbo. I h8 the idea of all of you power coming from an object rather then your motor. I want a car i can beat the hell out of and then turn it off. I want to be able to do a 1/4 throttle run and not feel like i am towing a boat.

Don't get me wrong i would kill to get my Srt-4 back. But as a next car to have for a lil while, so my insurance to cool down i don't wanna have to worry about how well i took care of the turbo after 5 years.
