Friend bought an SRT-4
My friend and I bought an SRT-4 for him last night. He was very excited since he always wanted a turbo car. WRX was his #1 choice for a while, but after hearing about SRT-4, a $5k difference, and what they're capable of he changed his mind.
I must admit that the car is damn quick stock and not broken in. With 22 miles on his car he stayed neck to neck with my 225 and all my mods. If I had more gas and him less I'm sure he would have taken me.
I can't wait until he starts to mod it and see how little it takes to make that thing fly.
That said, the interior and attention to detail is the reason why that car is $20k. But from what I heard, the engine is quite well put together.
For those who haven't seen that car from the inside... maybe it's a good thing. It's quite a shock coming from TT. =)

It sounds like a much better car than the TT, design and interior aside..
its a cheap lightweight high output vehicle, plus you will have warranty approved mopar...design doesnt mean **** when it looks really hot in someones rear view mirror. Plus when you look at the cost of japanese or domestic to tune its stupid compared to what people pay here for incremental gains.

Evo turbo kit came out from one of the top tuners.. 400whp on pump gas and it spools up just like a stock turbo but it just keeps pulling.. lol.. : o
I look forward to the Sti mods though..
I really like the idea of 2.5Liters ..
