the srt-4 for the price is a good car. its got some good power in and would be cool for a daily driver to get to work but that video makes it sem like its one of the greatest cars of all time when in actuallity its not. if left in stock form its great but the second u begin to modify it you run into problems. its a constant problem turbo dodges have had for an extremely long time. the are not reliable in any way when modified.
now as for the some of the races in the video, i can see the sti loosing on the highway due to the facts its all wheel drive and i can also see the evo due to tremendous amount of lag they have but to tell me that an srt-4 is gonna beat a mustang mach 1 and a corvette z06 is absolute stupidity. chances are the drivers in those cars in the video had absolutly no idea of how to drive.
now we come to blackout. supras are gay. they are roll on and dyno queens. evryone knows that a real race is from a dead stop aka a dig. i'm almost 100% sure that if that supra and srt-4 went from a dead stop it would be a much different race. i'm not saying that it would have won but the distance between them would have been quite a bit less.
just my 2 cents!

The blue srt was running stage 2. Look it up.
Get your head out of your *** guys. The replacement for displacement is boost. You can do anything with it.
Stock internals on SRT-4 will handle upwards of 23psi. Stock bottom end will handle 500whp daily driven. This is very old news, and if you dont know this as of yet,its time to visit some other forums.
Just read kids.

sorry to burst your bubble but 25 psi is NOT BONE STOCK, 14 psi is BONE STOCK, and it produces 218.6 hp at the wheels, not only that you are disrespecting all SRT owners because 853 is the ing PT cruiser engine code, 855 is the SRT4 code, you come here dissing all the rice boys and girl while you dont even know what engine code you've got. .
listen to yourself, im a fan of old school turbo dodges, well more of the idea behind them, but you are doing no ing good by running your mouth about something you dont really understand. My problem with the neons is their community, the people are no better than the civic owners, you all think that your cars are "the best" well its not sorry.

^^^ stage2 and stage 3 are official Mopar ugraid kits, Stage 3 cost around 4 or 5 grand, but I dont' remember exactly, correct me. It includes new and larger turbocharger.
So, if you don't know what the hell you are talking about, don't open your mouth. Not all "stage 1..2...17" are imaginary, some of them sre actual "stages" listed in Mopar catalog.

so what you're saying is for approx. 23,000 ucan buy the car and then tag on another 5000 for the "stage 3" upgrade or whatever you want to call it for a grand total of 28,000 plus tax and you get to run 13's. for that kind of money i'd rather go buy an 03 cobra and run 12's and it hasn't even been modified yet. spend a couple hundred bucks buy a new pully for the charger and you're already faster then 2/3's of the cars on street.

ok this is already getting old, AGAIN I WILL SAY THIS.........
LEARN HOW TO ING READ. Do you understand punctuation or any other form of grammar.
I SAID THE MOTOR can HANDLE 23psi STOCK. The car pushes anywhere between 11psi-17psi on the stock computer. I bought one in 04. I think i might have reasearched the car before I bought it.
READ THIS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO...otherwise look at the pictures around the screen....
The computer monitors the ambient pressure and humidity of the air coming into the engine. It knows when to bump up, or bump down the boost automatically. The computer also controls the boost based on which gear you are in to keep a smooth power band. 1st gear gets 12psi. 2nd gets 13psi then tappers off to 10psi by redline. 3rd gets full 14psi, 4th gets the same all the way to redline. And 5th gets 15psi and tappers to 13psi by about 250km/h (5000rpm) THIS IS IN IDEAL CONDITIONS. Meaning low humidity and relatively average summer temps.
In the winter the computer turns the boost back to 3psi less in each gear as the outside air is more dense then in the hot summer months, therefore turbo does not have to work as hard to produce the same power. ITs quite genious, and you wont find that on an aftermarket turbo kit.
WTF?? what the *** is a stage 2 and stage 3??? u gotta stop playing gran tourismo and step into reality.
http://www.mopar.ca/
FROM MOPAR: "Kit boosts power to 310 hp at 5600 rpm and 325 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3200-4800 rpm. Stage 3R Kit in high-octane mode increases power to 355 hp at 5200 rpm and 365 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3200-4800 rpm! Cat-Back Exhaust (P4510461) required for these figures."
Now before i have to make more of you illiterate kids look like punk monkeys, go do some damn reading before flaming this and that.
Enjoy.

This SRT4 guy is the exact reason why I hate SRT4s. I never said I hated the cars, I hate the drivers. They buy these fast "import fighters", next thing you know, they're on web forums talking about how fast their car is, how its the best thing for the money, etc. All while not knowing a single thing about cars, other then what they read on the SRT forum. SRT4 drivers are parrots (for the most part). They know nothing about how actual automotive systems work, they only know what they read on the internet. An example is this A853 guy saying that the bottom end is good for about 25psi. Air pressure is a meaningless number. You could push 25psi and only make 200hp, on the other hand you can run 25psi and make 600hp. See how he is able to rhyme off the boost pressures in each individual gears? I bet you rate your clutch in HP too 
I bet this guy has never swapped an engine before, or set up a turbo system on his own engine.
By the way, I've driven an SRT4 and it pulled as hard as my friend's 323GT, a car that came out in 1988.
Hey A853,
why don't we all meet up at Cayuga and you can show us some 13.8 timeslips. Oh wait, you can't drive, just like most SRT4 owners out there. Hahaha ***.
