And your honda has less torque than my 1/2" breaker bar. Woopity doo!
Are you upset that Honda has never built a production car as quick as the SRT-4 or what?
And no, before you say it, this is the USA, that's an overpriced piece of shit lumberwagon Acura you are thinking of

In 2003, Cory O'Brien and Erich Heuschele drove an SRT-4 to a 1st in class and 8th overall finish in the Tire Rack Cannonball One Lap of America.[9]
In SCCA ProRally racing, the SRT-4 (and more recently the ACR version) has dominated the Group 5 (2WD) class since 2003. [10] In just its first year competing, the Dodge ended the stranglehold that the FWD DSMs and Volkswagens had on the class. With three entries competing the following year, the SRT-4 won every 2004 series race and end-of-season award. [11] The SRT-4 has won every Group 5 and 2-Wheel-Drive class championship in US ProRally and Sno Drift since 2003, and its unprecedented dominance in 2004 helped Dodge earn its first US ProRally Manufacturers Championship in 28 years. [12]
In 2005, Jeff Lepper drove the SRT-4 to its first ever national road racing win in the NASA US Touring Car Championship at California Speedway in Fontana.[13]
In 2005, Dale Seeley, Kolin Aspergren, and Jamin Cummings drove an SRT-4 to a 1st in class and 8th overall finish in the Tire Rack Cannonball One Lap of America.[14]
In 2006, the Dodge SRT-4 officially become the world's fastest production 4-cylinder car, averaging 221 mph (356 km/h) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in a car built by Dave Harris and Phil Hurst for Racedeck Racing.[15] When the SRT-4's power plant was put on the engine dyno, it had surpassed well over 1,000 horsepower (1,087 hp/811 kW) without the aid of nitrous oxide (N2O) The car used the stock body, transmission, engine block, and even crankshaft while running in excess of 235 mph (378 km/h) during the run.
Robb Holland and Dan Aweida's SPEED World Challenge SRT-4's.Multiple SRT-4s were raced in the SCCA SPEED World Challenge - Touring Car Series[16], and in 2006 - their second year of competition - had become one of the more successful platforms in the series. Robb Holland, of 3R Racing, became the first Pro driver to put the SRT-4 on the podium with his 3rd place finish at Road America in August 2006. This was Dodge's first podium and first manufacturer's points in World Challenge Touring Car competition. Holland would finish the season with 3 top 10 finishes and two top 5 qualifying efforts in the SRT-4. [17] [18] [19]
In 2007, Doug Wind, Devin Clancy, and Ken Brewer drove an SRT-4 to a 1st in class and 5th overall finish in the Tire Rack Cannonball One Lap of America.[20]
In one lap of america the wrx competes in the same class in past years. Seems to be alot of 1st place class finishes for the old pos neon. What does that say about the imprezza?

Never been disappointed in a Neon, to this day the little car does nothing but make me smile! There may be other cars "equal or comparable" in performance but for the price it has always been the winner!
I still would love to get a 94-95 actually and do a SRT-4 S3 swap in it.......

"The Cobalt firmly grabs you and whisks you along your way instantly. It does so with authority and poise, but while slipping relatively unnoticed through traffic, never being violent, or dare I say it, frightening. When you ask the SRT-4 to take you somewhere fast, it punches you in the face, throws you over its shoulder, and runs, screaming, so quickly that its tires can barely keep up."
If a 35k "sport" vehicle could NOT take a corner like that, then that would be something to post. But your post was a waste of time.
Rally vids FTL!
The fact is, Sti's lose a ton of power to the ground with their hp sapping awd. Even my lowly 21k Stage 2 Cobalt SC will put to shame one of those heavy/fat/overpriced imports in your average side-by-side street encounter.
Here's proof: C&D..................5-60mph
295hp Evo GSR...6.1 sec.
305hp Sti...........6.8 sec.
"6.8 seconds"? BWAHAHAHAHHA

Don't forget to put that blender under your hood on "frappe", otherwise you won't hit ludicrous speed.
