Default SRT-4 vs. SRT-8

Hey guys, just wanted your opinions on the matter of the Neon SRT-4 vs. the Charger SRT-8. Given that if both cars were piloted by drivers of equal skill, which of the two would come out on top overall (in your own opinions) under the following categories:

1) 0-60 mph, 1/4 Mile Performance, and top speed (who would win in a dragrace?)
2) Handling (which would turn in the best time on an autocross course?)
3) Comfort and Utility (which vehicle would prove to be more versatile for conducting day to day affairs)
4) Style (which one is sexxier? lol)
and
5) If money was no object, which of the two would you purchase?

The reason I'm asking, is that I stopped by the local dealership a few weeks back and ordered a shiny black SRT-8 (couldn't resist that 6.1 Hemi) and am debating selling my SRT-4. My logic is, why pay to operate two vehicles if one could take the place of the other?

I love my SRT-4, but if holding onto it is just going to be a redundancy, why make my bank account suffer for it?

Thanks for the input all!

BTW - the srt-8 sounds badass - enjoy

If money wasnt an object Id have the entire SRT lineup,

I've got the SRT-4
So Id need the Crossfire SRT-6
The Magnum, 300C, Charger and Jeep SRT-8
And of course Viper and Ram SRT-10s

I agree with posthonda on some of the times, but I believe they're both sexy in their own ways. The Charger just looks downright damned MEAN. Autocrossing hell yea, no object the SRT takes the cake. Gas mileage it takes the cake too.....surprisingly with a turbo, but your dealing with a 6.1L Hemi there. Ahdunno about the race though, I think that would all intend on the driver.

LoL "Who in the hell are the Dodge Boys?" What happened to that Mopar pride guys?

If money were no object, I still wouldn't abandon DCX...heck, let your driver take you to work in the Maybach during the week...roll out your ME-412 for some fun at the Nurburgring on the weekends...don't forget a nice roll through the hills in your SLR McLaren...how about showcasing your $4 000 000.00-value '71 Hemi 'Cuda Convertible at the local show and shine...Porsche? C'mon guys- MoPar or no car!

1) Drag/Speed: SRT-8 -
SRT-4: 0-60=5.3-5.6, 1/4 Mile=13.9-14.2, Top Speed=153 mph
SRT-8: 0-60=5.0-5.3, 1/4 Mile=13.4-13.6, Top Speed=??? ???

2) Handling: SRT-8 - All reviews I've seen say the SRT-8 handles top notch and they give it the best rating. No way a FWD car could out handle a RWD in most cases.

3) Comfort and Utility: SRT-8 - No doubt this would go to the large sedan.

4) Style/Sexiness: SRT-4 - Just my opinion, but most would agree.

5) Which I Would Purchase: SRT-8 - Hard choice, I'm partial to the SRT-4. Though I don't own one. I have taken 5 serious test drives with it. (Me knows a manager) Tough to compare a large, comfy sedan with 425 horses, to a small turboed sport compact, with 230 horses. I couldn't resist getting 425 horse is a large comfortable sedan.

While the others are all valid points, I have to point out one glaring error. There is NO WAY that a srt-8 could beat a srt-4 on an autocross course. The srt-8 is way too big and heavy to even compete with it - I would love to bet someone with a srt-8 a lot of $ on a race - I would have an easy taking in a srt-4.
