Goodbye and Farewell
(taken from another forum)
I know some of you may hate the following video. But the reason I post this, is for the true enthusiasts of sport compacts that I have met on this forum. This video was put together by a fellow SRT-4 enthusiast and I thought it would be something most of you would like to see.
This car may have its haters, but no matter how much hate or disbelief comes from the competition. This car will forever be reguarded as a step towards the future of sport compact competition and technology. In under a 3 year life-term, the Dodge SRT-4 has met many on the streets, and prevailed amongst those challenged. It was the fastest 4cyl front wheel drive sport compact available in north america for under $30,000 canadian. It boasts a 16G turbo on a A853 power plant pushing an amazing 240WHP and 250Tq. With a price tag of $26,875 (can), a 1/4 mile pass at 103mph, with a time of 13.8 seconds, it is without a doubt, one of the most powerfull forces on the road in stock trim.
In 3 years it has shown the sport compact world that comments such as "well it wont last long"........."the motor will blow before 50k"........"its just a dodge"..........dont hold much water. But rather "walk", out muscles "talk".
No matter what forum you search, the car is talked about. It is praised, hailed, hated, criticized, and yet it still has the attention of the people who gave this car a market.
I want to thank Dodge and PVO for giving me a car with power enough to smoke stock 350Z's and G35 coupes. A car that can hang with a 300hp STI on the highway that cost almost double the price tag. A car that has been revered by many, and hated by some. A car that will always be remembered by enthusiasts everywhere. And just simply, a car that makes every trip around the block a new adventure.
Be proud of what car you own. Civic or Neon. Our cars represent apart of ourselves. Drive free guys!
Enjoy the show guys and girls:

Thanks.

Its odd that the losing car is the camera man... If i was the losing car, i wouldnt go around making vids of my car getting smoked... I find that a little odd is all. Could it be rigged? The camera man telling the driver of the losing car to let the Dodge win? I dunno, looks a lil sketchy.

Whats so unbelieveable? Those cars take very well to mild bolt-ons.
They all need to watch more supra roll ons though, LEARN HOW TO BRAKE BOOST. SRT-4 almost always falls back right at the start and plays catch up because of not doing it.

Put an ECU chip and some minor bolt-ons in a 1.8T powered VW and you've got a car thats on-par with the SRT4. You've got a car that was actually engineered to house a turbocharged powerplant.
SRT4s are good cars, but they aren't the best car ever produced, like the guy who made this thread is trying to make it seem.
By the way... stock 1/4 mile of 13.8? Last I heard it was 13.9, and before that, it was 14.0 so what is the real stock 1/4 mile time?

BAHAHAHAHHAHA ok let me catch my breath ahahahahahahhaah
ok good to go....
Are some of you guys kidding me??? Or did more then half of you miss the whole video, or point there of. This video and post is not calling the car the "Bestest EVER" as it even says in the damn video. Just paying homage to a powerfull sportcompact.
Is this site TORONTO STREET RICE or racing, cause you guys are destroying this place. How can a forum like this be taken seriously with comments like the above.
Let me fill you guys in because ignorance plauges you.
DODGE SRT-4: 240WHP, 250tq. Does the 1/4 mile at 103.9mph STOCK. Proven at TMP or St. Thomas dozens of times. Pulls an ET of 13.8 BONE STOCK with street tires set at 25psi.
Sti traps 1/4 at 103mph. Not sure if guys are aware of this, but the car pulls a 60 ft of SUB 2 SECONDS. All wheel drive is terrible on highway. STI only makes 254whp and the car weighs 300lbs more then an SRT-4.
From a dig the STI will eat an SRT-4. Slap some slicks on a stock SRT-4, REAL SLICKS and give it an actuall fighting chance of the launch, and the SRT-4 will see 13.2-3 all day at the track.
The truth hurts guys. But dont bitch to me about it. Just read and find actual facts like I have just posted. 0-60 in 5.4 seconds with a 7 year warranty. Sounds like a good deal to me.
And an SRT-4 can't beat a Z06??? Maybe stock, but throw on a stage 2 kit with DAB control, and yur running 13.2 on streets, and 12.8-9 on slicks. Sounds like a Z06 killer to me.
Some of you guys need to go here www.google.com
and look up SPECS, its what you call the performance specifications of a vehicle.
Time to grow up children. Before you kill another web forum.
