I dynoed next to one in October. It was a stage two i think? it had a diff badge and some factory upgrades like ECU, New turbo trim, boost controller exhaust... stuff like that..
Any way, my car beat in in all aspects. I think it put down 225WHP and 239WTq.
I was excited to see it do iats runs, but afterwords, I left unimpressed.
The exhaust was also really obonoxious IMO..
I think he put an extra 5 or 6 grand into the car.. so 25000 for a car that puts down 225 whp, corrected 10% 250ish?, by a WRX. At least then you get all wheel drive...better yet, buy a used M3 and spnk guys in there yellow neons.

I respect them for what they are, cheap speed. Yes the build quality is crap, but you have to have a trade-off somewhere. If you just want to go fast with a new car warranty for not alot of money, the srt-4 is the best bang for your buck.
I'd choose a slightly used '99-'02 f-body instead though if I were to go that route, $10-15k, 350hp stock with unlimited potential, rwd, great exhaust note, and good handling when properly setup. 8)

I would not buy an SRT-4. In that price range, I would get an e36 M3, a nice e30 M3, or a used WRX if you want something newer. Get a 02 WRX and get all that initial depreciation out of the way. Imagine that neon in a few years.... Think of an old neon now.....even if it was fast it would still not be cool.

20k for the 2004 model, plus 1500 for the dealer package, bringing you to ~265 hp with a LSD up front. With a warranty to boot.
I can dig that.

I was talking about wheel horses. so he got an additional 23 horses and 24 ftlbs of torque.. maybe more? I am assuming that the dodge values are somewhat inflated.
I think his car was pushing something stupid like 19psi..
I remember being shocked when he told me, and then thinking, why couldn't they get those figures from 8 psi and a better engine?
