The srt is quick- no question- so is my bike, but these are really two different machines, and besides the SRT has got ugly-it hasn't even used yet!!

Personally, I bought the 8 because it's the best balanced car I found. It settles down nicely (less low end means a better ride when you're not ragging on it), it'll go real well when you wind it up, and it handles well. The SRT-4 costs far less and is based on a popular rental car. Sure it's a hell of a lot better than said rental car, but I really don't understand what everyone's so excited about. For the money, I'd much rather take a base WRX for a few grand more or a Miata (mmm...RWD).

Reminds me of the Cosworth Vega. Magnificent engine, but at the end of the day, it was still a Vega. 'Nuff said.
Best,

All I can say is the people that think the SRT-4 is just a neon are stupid. Just like the people that think EVO's are Lancers and the STI an Imprezza and a Z06 a C6 and a GTR a Skyline and a 911 GT2 a Carrera. Get over it already.

you really think a Z06 is NOT a C6???
EVERY (new) Z06 is a C6. NOT EVERY C6 is a Z06.
Every SRT-4 IS a Neon. NOT EVERY Neon is an SRT4.

1.) A stock SRT-4 will beat a Z in just about any acceleration so I don't see what's hard to believe.
2.) I really don't see much bashing or the RX-8 there, so I'm not quite sure why some of you are getting your panties up in a bunch. If anything it's some Subaru bashing and I really could care less... I see far more imature bashing of the SRT-4 here than I do of the RX-8 over there.
3.) As much as Cas seems to want to defend the RX-8 with his silly magazine racing over there an SRT-4 will beat an RX-8 quite handily whether it be manual or auto. Even some of the boosted RX-8s now will have a hard time with the SRT-4 from a roll on the highway. That's what the thread was about, racing in a straight line, so why have a problem with what they are saying if you guys are all about the twisties...
4.) Once again, beating a dead horse... The SRT-4 is a pretty good handler and even though the RX-8 handles better it's going to have a hard time keeping up with one on all but the tightest twistiest of tracks.

You are quickly becoming my numero uno nemesis on this site with all the corrections to spelling and semantics you make to my posts :D

there's a huge difference between the srt4 and the neon. the srt4 is proven to be FASTER than an 8 in a straight line. denying that is just stupid. and the difference between an srt4 and a normal neon is as big as an impreza to an sti.
what's the big deal anyways? the 8 looks better, is built better, and handles better. that's what it has over the srt4. the srt4 is cheaper and faster in a straight line and probably gets better gas mileage.

All I did was offer my opinion, and immediately get slagged on. But if I really cared, I'd be more like my usual self. :D

I don't how being a student is self-righteous, but okay, maybe I should have said "the greater goal I set for myself."
I'm not bothered by the "insult", I wouldn't have expected anything more.
