RE: '04 Srt-4 vs '05 WRX
Ummm what place did the STI get in the last SCC issue? I dont believe it did to well w/ its AWD did it? LOL And what'd the srt 4 have? Stage 2? HEHE in the rain... lets not forget to even pull the horizontally opposed engine out of an sti u have to tear the whole front end off the car. Mods wise Im sure srt-4 will compete in HP for Hp as well. budget ? im sure the srt-4 owns it in the budget race. How much does an sti weigh again? Whats the highest Horsepower u've seen in a Street driven srt4? Prolly, a bunch of dumb q's but anyone w/ money can make a car fast. But as far as similarities in the two go wrx vs srt-4 your better off comparing it w/ something else in its own class. But srt-4 vs wrx stock comparisson =srt4 the winner.

RE: '04 Srt-4 vs '05 WRX
I had a nice WRX for lunch last weekend. I'm already doing 70mph when here he comes flying up on me trying to pass. By the time I kick it down he's at my door going around me. I start catching back up. I see him shift to 5th right before I do (ever notice 5th gear feels like warp speed just kicked in?), then I pass him back just as fast as he passed back by me. Doing 150mph by that time and she was still pulling pretty good. Had to slow, traffic up ahead. Nice brakes also. By the way, Thats stage 2 w/o toys.

Had a "WRX experience" today. I was rolling up to Montgomeryville today and a very sharp looking blue rex with a carbon hood, spoiler and all sorts of graphics pulled up beside me. I jumped the light a little and started the wheels skipping in second(believe me - in HOM it happens), but didn't really hit it much.
He pulled up at the next light and had his window down this time. I told him it looked good and what did he have done (I also saw pillar mount guages...). He said stage 2 and a bit. I said "nice I bet it moves..." -he retorted in kind, and seemed cool...,anyway, I didn't launch it at the green light to see if he was going to go and I heard it chirp a bit and spool, so I hit it just as he started to get to my bumper.
Stage 2 vs. stage 2. I was surprised, even waiting until I heard him, he never passed my bumper. I short shifted 2, 3, and 4 by a bit and still pulled two or three cars ahead. I heard his car blow off each shift and I think he was gunning it hard. He waved as I turned off and tooted the horn.
If we ran a full quarter and I nailed it from the start i would have beat him by a good margin - at least 4-5 car lengths, maybe more. I thought they were supposed to be pretty potent. I guess my little skittle really is fast.

RE: '04 Srt-4 vs '05 WRX
some of u have said u drove both these cars and we all have mixed fillings on which one is faster, some may have driven both, but i have owned them both and we all know when you own it you lets say drive it like u stole it. i have an 04 sti now and i have played with many srt-4, i started off with a srt-4 and wasnt happy with anyhting about the car but its power, so i got my sti. i have raced many srt-4 with stage 2 and stock, like u all say top end the srt-4 comes out other wise nothing thats with me on 7psi. now im running 14psi with AEM CAI, Turbo XS BOV, 4" DP, blitz cat back with cat. with this combo only two neons have beat me, one with stage three and nos, intake, exhaust and one with a 20G, intake, exhaust, running 20 psi on 119OCT. Have to say altho i paid more i would do it agian. it will all be over after i get it tuned.

actually i have saw that scenerio played out quite a few times....my buddy (who just totaled out his car recently) smoked an STI slightly modified and an EVO slightly modified... and when his car was stock he kept up with an STi only losing to him by about 2 car lenghts maybe....dont get me wrong hes a great driver considering when his car was stock he ran a 13.6 in the quarter when the book says the pros could only get a 13.8 out of it....but still...if you are a very good driver you could take the STI.....oh and also he ran out on a few cobras as well 5.0's and 4.6's
