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.

Something was wrong with the srt4 then, it should have pulled a good bit on you at first and then kept pulling a little more at higher speeds... We were riding in my friend's srt last nite,,, the car is very stable at ummm, speed, though it's a little noisy, probably from the sun roof.

If the SRT-4 could manage to get a better looking interior (perhaps with some leather seating surfaces and a decent looking shifter), I'd be on it like stink on sh*t. I honestly don't care how much power advantage an SRT-4 has over a CSVT. The CSVT is a fun to drive car with a very comfortable, plush interior:
I have respect for it, and I honestly think the exterior looks decent, but the interior turns me off completely; and considering that's what I'd be looking at 90% of the time, I think I'll pass

Now, the exterior on the other hand..

I guess I'm the only Contique owner on this board that actually *likes* the exterior appearance of an SRT-4

I prefer the srt4 interior over mine. Though mine isn't perfect,, I think the non-cloth covered viper seats look better in the srt4 (those are viper ones in that pic),, the interior is simplistic and not great quality, but my contour's interior isn't great either. Plus the srt4 has tweeters and the boost gauge.

The SRT4 cupholders are much more functional than the contour's.

So angry just because it has functional cup holders,,, you should get one of those ugly EVOs that you speak so highly of all the time.

That's great,, and I reckon the srt4 isn't about any kind of functionality... PRICE AND RACING.

I repeat that I honestly wish the interior quality was far better than it is. I feel so cheap when I drive in an SRT-4, like I'm walking through a dollar-store.
