exactly my point, this is coming down to "throw a 3l and a turbo on it, and it'll be a different story!" vs a stock srt......
stock for stock.. we know what happens. modded, for modded.... I've still never seen a 12 second svt.
Common now, that isn't where its coming too. The stock 2.5 with a turbo is doing just as well in the 1/4 as the 3L. That was a 2.5L with bolt on Vortech that is essentially turning times that are just as good as your SRT-4.
Nitrous on a 2.5L is easily the match of a turbo contour or SRT-4. There is no "which one is better deal" or anything else when you are talking about modded cars.
Hell, a stock Neon SXT with a good shot of nitrous and a good driver is probably a match too, and if it comes to it sleeper has a badass zetec on nitrous too.
These days you just need to pick your poison and go with it.
BTW, your SRT-4 isn't stock either.
In the end it all boils down to drivers, preferences, mods, and luck of course.
