EVO vs. STI vs. SRT-4? Want to Run 11's....What should I buy?

[traffic_tom]

I'm gonna buy my first turbo car. I really want a four door as I have a family. But I want to run 11.9 second quarter mile. Which car and what kind of mods will it take. Can I keep the stock turbo? I live in Southern CA and have access to the best tuner shops.

hehe, i'd love to be with your delima, believe me.
in my opinion the best choice for that kind of car is an STI. the EVO is almost perfect - that's true, but when it comes to mods, an STI's engine is much more capable and tuning accepting. do yourself a favor, and stay away from any American cars - they suck. yes they can be tuned nicely, but they are gas guzzling and most of em handle like my behind.
i'd suggest also considering buying a Honda coupe let's say and modding it. it would cost you less to purchase, which will leave you tons of cash to create a beast of a ride. my friend spent 30,000$ on modding his Accord, and now he actually manages the 1/4 mile in less then 13 sec.

good luck
