Traps at what a STi does in the 1/4. Try not launching at redline and see what your 1/4 mi is. I saw one do that and it ran a 14.2. And a Reg WRX can only pray hanging with one. Only chance stock vs stock is from a dead stop. There are numerous videos of STi's losing to SRT-4's. And have seen some vids of sti's winning. And I paid over 10k less than what i could have gotten a used STi for. The STi is a great car dont get me wrong, I love it. Was my 1st choice but the extra cash didnt warrant it. And a regular WRX is a waste of time, used to have one. trapping at 100mph in one is a huge accomplishment.
And about the respect actually look at some of the ages of owners of srt-4's they are all not in there teens and twenties.
Doesn't warrant the 10 grand????? (deep breathe, here we go again)....AWD, brembo breaks, center control differential, momo steering wheel, bbs wheels, intercooler water spray, recaro seats, #1 in reliability and fun to drive (said consumer reports), able to out handle the SRT-4 all day...and im sure im missing some....add all that up and its well worth the extra $10k, and being able to keep the car for at least 5 years w/out it falling apart is a plus .....all the srt-4 has going for it is straight-line accel. It may be able to made as fast as an STI for cheaper than 10 grand but there is no way you'll get the entire performance package the STI has..I'm sorry their just in different classes...
