1. Do you even know what a DCCD is or the benefits of one?
2. I have no idea where you got this one, SRT's were never rally crossed, they couldn't have been, they're not out yet!! There were 1 or 2 SRT's in ProRally but those cars are no where near their stock counterparts.
3. Again doubtful, you'd be hard pressed to find an aftermarket suspension that equals the level of the STi's. Then again I am sure everyone who will buy one of these will be more worried about going fast in a straight line as opposed to handling, so it's kind of a moot point.
4. How does anyone actually know that it is pure speculation!
5. Easily I would assume, again that is speculation on the STi's. But I would assume with better brakes that the SRT it should easily match the SRT.
6. It sounds like you know absoloutely nothing about the STi. I can assure you the tranny in the STi is better than the SRT in terms or reliability and powerhandling. BTW: the six speed that is in the STi has been in the JDM STi's for years, it is a totally different tranny from what's in the WRX, so in effect it has been proven.
7. Again, what do you know about the STi block?? Once again I'm guessing absoloutely nothing. It can handle boost quite safely. The STi block is a semi closed deck design with forged internals, it doesn't have to be iron, it already surpasses the strength levels of an iron block. Plus it has a bigger displacement and it's lighter than Dodge's iron block. Remember on a FWD car you need all the weight you can get on the front wheels, hence the iron block. You don't have that problem as much with AWD.
8. Again the six speed is a proven, bullet proof tranny. Plus your gonna have to do a hell of a lot of waranty killing modding to even approach STi levels.
Your last comment got me rolling. You have to be some 16 year old completely talking out of your ass. I could say a Lamborghini is faster than the SRT and you'd still find some point to argue me on. "Yeah, yeah well it doesn't have a turbo" :roll: Last time I checked the SRT was only pulling 250lbs of twist, the STi is running at least 300. You contradict yourself at the end besides the fact that you are just plain wrong. A Stage 1 is good for 230hp if I remember correctly, that won't get you anywhere near an STi, a Stage 3 might get you close though. But then again this entire discussion is assuming the SRT is heavily modded and the STi isn't. Try and pick on a modded STi, and game over. I know I came off as a raving lunatic about the WRX but the SRT and the STi, come on there is no comparison. You might as well compare a Z06 to a bone stock Neon. I don't expect this post to be taken too seriously though because the SRT is the holy grail of sports cars and nothing can beat it :roll: I do want to make the point clear though that the WRX and the STi are two completely different cars. Everything from the engine, to the tranny, to the seats, to the rear glass is completely different.
