No it's not stock turbo. It's the AGP manifold and the turbo they sell on 105 octane gas. And the price to get a srt4 to 500hp is less than what it takes to get a contour to 300hp. The car (new) also cost less. The srt4 (if you're comfortable with it and know how to drive) handles better than a csvt, thus why I consider it better performance wise than a contour,,, I don't think that should even be argueable,, but it seems some people can't believe something is faster than a contour (I'm not talking to people like warmonger that actually have fast contours and know what it takes to get there).
