nope, silver is a slipprier color so we have less drag co-efficient. That's why all the fastest cars are silver Is there any other color srt in the 10's yet?

I dont understand why everyone says that the color of their car means they are faster. Isnt it the mods that make a car faster?
because this forum is populated by like 75% retards (number may vary).

New Toy:
2007 Mazdaspeed 3 GT, red. Only mods so far: MS CAI, Cobb AccessPORT Stage 1+ MS CAI map v101, and a scraped up rear bumper, 250 whp/281 ft lbs BEFORE the AccessPORT
SRT-4 interiors are teh slow
Second toy:
2007 Civic Si coupe (wife's car), also red (Funny thing is silver is my favorite color...), also stock

No....that's a common misconception. A myth, as it were, to be debunked. Interestingly, mods have absolutely nothing to do with performance on these cars as evidenced by this ancient Zen koan:
Q: What do 300, 400, and 500 horsepower SRT-4s have in common?

Q: What do 300, 400, and 500 horsepower SRT-4s have in common?
A: Twelve second timeslips.
Aint that the truth!!!! Coined from an old Supra saying, anyways!

how about dyno numbers of 278hp and 381ft/lbs torque? is that scientific enought for you?
Not really. The disconnect between the force "horsepower" as a measurement represents, and the methodology of chassis dynos has generated volumes of data and countless articles. If you know any mechanical engineers, ask them about it. In any case, all mods are ineffective in producing power increases on SRT 4s, especially boost controllers and most especially *your* boost controller. There have been many recent experiments of late that have proven with a statistically significant probablility, that electronic devices can be influenced by thought. The most definitive experiment involved test subjects attempting to modify the output of a random number generator by force of will alone. They acheived a statistically significant corrolation. The upside here is that any so-called "dyno results" that you have that may suggest that your car received a performance boost from you bolt on modifications were actually caused by by your expectation that there would be an increase in performance.
Your increase in performance was an illusion. The car is likely making near stock horsepower.
i can turn it on and off with a switch while i drive and it makes a big differance but you need to lay of the payodie,meth,crack,coke,speed,pot,g,e and what ever else you are on if dyno sheets of hp and torque increases and spining in second instead of only first only when i turn it on ect are in my head thats awsome if 19psi or 21 psi are no better than 13 or 15 than i am just going to through of the turbo all together because it is also a placebo efect as you might say! my enginer frinds say wow that srt4 fucking kicks ass! lol
