You can find them on eBay every now and then.

Also I don't see how the SRT-4 engine is inferior!!

if you spend the extra money on the srt4 and want to build it up the first thing you have to do is get rid of that dinky turbo I wouldnt even put on a bike. the second is to replace the engine with somthing that can handle more thatn 10lbs of boost. by the time its said and done you will spend 10000 more to build an srt4 than an sxt and end up with about the same speed. an srt4 is only the smart move if you plan on leaving it factory.

Who said anything about 26 lbs? You said more than 10, so 15-20 is still more than 10 to me.

$20,000 including the price of the car?? You overpayed then!

There have been many articles that disected the SRT-4's 2.4L Turbo and it's extremely strong for a stock motor. They put out 15-17 psi boost stock and there are many out there running 26+ psi boost with no issues at all. Granted the turbo is quite small, but it's more than enough to make the SRT-4 the fastest FWD production car ever built.

Where in the world do you get your info from, because you couldn't be further off in left field than a Hyundai owner on this subject.
