Default If I had to buy a new car today, to save $ for retirement, I would pass on the Sti and EVO and get

an SRT-4. I think it will go down in history as one of those magical easy to mod and go fast cars like a DSM.

Yeah sure it lacks in luxury compared to the Audi, but you would have to have an S4 to be as fast, and it costs 2/5s as much. I hear next years will have a limited slip option available.

The link is an SRT-4 just pasting an EVO in three separate races.<ul><li><a href="http://www.srtforums.com/hosted/grunge/EvovsSRT4.wmv">http://www.srtforums.com/hosted/grunge/EvovsSRT4.wmv</a</li></ul>

Default I would agree except not many Front Tracs go down in history!

The DSM's did because of all wheel drive.

Default Yes, they get a limited slip and more HP...

Not that the old ones didn't have enough HP... They dyno'd one of those thing to 223HP to the front wheels stock... Hmm... can we say, underrated???

They can still be extremely potent if set up right.
