This is his next preject car for his performance shop. He will be selling performance parts for it....so if any of you SRT-4 guys are interested... www.diamondstarmotorsport.com
That's cool that your brother has an SRT-4 man! however the fastest SRT-4 is the MOPAR SRT-4 that recently broke the FWD 1/4 mile World Record at 8.32 seconds, with the stock 2.4 liter block no less. TurboXS, ModernPerformance and AGP also have project SRT-4's that are in the 12's.
And from my personal experience of owning both an SRT-4 and and Contour SVT, I miss my SVT in the corners. The SRT-4 isn't too far from being on the same level stabilitywise IMO, but stock for stock, body roll on my SRT-4 is much greater than the SVT was. Body roll, however stout your car may actually be in the corners, makes it seem much less stable. Don't get me wrong, she turns on command, just feels a bit sloppy compared to the CSVT. So my current plan to fix this is: replace the rear sway bar which is only 16 mm in stock form , drop the [censored], and get some wider wheels (only 6" from the factory). I think that combo should clear up my personal issues with the handling.
