I can't believe that article calls the SRT-4 a modern day muscle car! :shame: Anything that doesnt have the ability to sound like it will eat you alive should not be called a muscle car. Calling the SRT-4 a muscle car is like spitting in the face of the classics. I will admit, the car is quick, and with the right mods can walk a stock 05 but to call it a muscle car is ridiculous.

Surprised no one else took offense to the tone in that article, typical of automobile mag though. Muscle car - I think not. And it does NOT use pump gas to make all that boost, like most forced 4 bangers it needs race gas to really shine. There is no replacement for displacement.

How do you get 330 rwhp in a fwd car? :jester:

Ok, you got me there....... :lol: :-D


It's 330hp at the wheels. :nice:

ive seen srt-4's run 12s with only a couple grand put in them. i would even go as far as to say they are just as fast or quicker from a roll as an sti or evo stock for stock. they "officially" run 13.9 stock, which is .2sec faster than ford's public rating of the 05 gt at 14.1. however, a stock 05 WILL beat a stock srt4 from the pit handily being rwd, and will slightly take it from a roll given equal drivers, from my numerous experiences, but by no means will roast it...

for the record, i HATE srt4's...not tryin to defend them at all really. im just saying that we should be baggin on the fact that they are just a NEON with a turbo instead of a real sports car, not relying on hearsay as to whether we are faster stock, cuz its close.
