ATL, you're right..how silly of me to think that a 250+whp lowly Contour could even keep up with the almighty SRT-4!
I don't even own a turbo, or a Contour for that matter...I just squid on all the major forums on the net saying how I beat cars all the time....
Maybe I'll go pick up an SRT-4, then I'll get some serious respect for having the fastest car on the planet!
  
He was not a bad driver....he even complimented my car saying "They're pretty quick N/A, but that things move with a turbo!".
Beleive what you want...I know how quick my car is, and I don't need your approval to be happy with my life. 
AMEN TO THE CONTOUR CULT DEMON!

So you can fit in with all of the 16 year old kids who don't know sht about their cars, and think a BOV is the best mod ever....
Right, I'll pass. I would rather buy a turchocharged SVT for a little over 10,000 and beat an ass ugly srt-4. Oh wait, thats what I did.

Just to show you the potential the SRT4 has, in case of any doubters, check this out. History was made yesterday, 500whp and 526 torque.

There are pictures and videos to prove it in case anyone thinks it's BS. Not trying to start anything just sharing valuable information among car enthusiasts.

Thanks Troll!
Nobody doubts what money for mods can do or that the SRT-4 has potential. You will likely see similar numbers from the turbo contour crowd very soon, just in case you are doubting it.
It is you SRT-4 owners that doubt the power and speed of turbo CSVT's.

I had a SRT "doubter" on Sunday.....needless to say I showed him what 5-6psi was like...
It was an 04'(tires)...he had a gauge pod, and most definitley an aftermarket BOV as I could hear him upshifting.....behind me!
Haha, I recently was in a very similar situation, needless to say he had a very confused look on his face.
I had a similar experience recently, SRT4 guy couldn't shake me on a roll up to, well, let's just say neither one of us would still have driver's licences had there been any cops in the area. Best thing is my SVT is fricking stock with nearly 140k miles on it! 
Not dissing the SRT4, I give Dodge credit with plopping a decent turbo motor into an affordable, well-developed chassis. I'd still pony up the extra couple of grand for a WRX though.

It is all about being different....every kid is getting a SRT4, and everybody KNOWS they are quick.....but if you roll up with a t/c Contour....that is a sleeper.
