"srt4 has just a cone filter.
WRX has up pipe, downpipe, catback, running close to 15 psi.
BTW, the WRX had one passenger, and the SRT4 had two passengers."

Call my bullshiot, but I think stock wrx's run around 14 psi of boost from the factory... so this guy didn't really mod with higher boost.....[hr]

"an mbc set at 15psi is going to move a bit faster than bone stock. most people say it builds more boost in first and second, and builds it faster. there are downsides, but i'll stick to the upsides for now.
first is kinda load-limited to about 10-12psi on this turbo it seems. on that same note, if you set an mbc to 15psi in, say, 3rd gear, you'll probably be able to eek out about 15.5+ psi if you hold fifth"

Rep Power: 0 No, IM not putting anything up against anything else. These guys had a camera, ran into each other and raced. WTF do you want?
And what WOULD be better? A 200Hp RSX-S? What? Celica GTS? New Si? Pfffff... same damn result.

Rep Power: 0 The looked about equal to me. The start is what made all the difference. The neon got his half car lenth to 1 car length from the launch and then they both stayed in almost the exact same positioning until the end. Looks like a case of driving skills won this one.

SRT won plain and simple...not sure if they were still racing but he took off at the end like a bat out of hell.... I'd love to see one in person, but here in Canada we have the SX 2.0 ...not sure if its the same as the SRT ....

I dont see that information ANYWHERE in the video, all I know is thats what they said. Hell I know plenty of ricers that told me they had a turbocharger under their car... but somehow I still beat them in a race with my bone stock civic. So dont go believing everything you hear. Besides, this cannot be the decide all for neon or the WRX. Look at the facts 1. It was a road race 2. Driving ability I know a guy with a GT Mustang whos *** I can kick any day of the week in a drag race, why? Because he cannot shift worth a crap, and when he loses he starts talking about supercharging his car to beat my civic.

Rep Power: 0 Why are we comparing a modded wrx to a stock srt?
Almost anything modded can beat a faster stock car.
And even if the modded wrx won the race, it wouldn't matter, nothing to be proud of,
cuz the SRT could be modded just as much and then that's another ball game.
It should be this: Stock Srt > Stock wrx. period.

Though to be fair, one thing is straight line acceleration and another racing trough winding roads. That is where most American cars loose because of the suspension tunning.
Remember the Super Bee? Basically a Dodge Dart, which became the shadow, which became the Neon...
They are still ugly cars and look cheap though, but that 2.4 liter turbo certainly kicks ***, I´ve seen stratus R/Ts (same engine) kick a mustang´s *** (a GT)

Rep Power: 0 okay, how much is the srt boostin. well, i now that it is not as low as a stock wrx. my brother has a wrx and from the factory the come boostin 12.5 lbs. that is it. fuel cut off is at 17.5lbs. match the srt and wrx boost, and see who wins. plus, the wrx has to be a lot heavier than the srt doesnt matter if it has two passengers or not. think about it

Rep Power: 0 the only reason the srt-4 won was cause it got a better jump
the wrx atually started reeling him in before he shut it down
so basicly the driver of the srt was the cause of this win
