EVO vs. SRT-4 Competition???
Is it just me or is about time for an EVO vs. SRT-4 competition??? It's about time the SRT-4s had their egos smashed, I seriously don't think it would be a close competition, the EVOs would easily win. I mean some SRT-4 owners are cool, but a lot I just don't know about, and it's about time they got put into their place. Look not bashing the SRT-4, I think it's a great car, but come on it's not that great, and seriously it's not even about that, it's their attitudes towards other cars. Seriously it would be very interesting to see, how many EVO owners would actually be game?

Is this going to be straight line only??? I already AutoX and I know that in general we see very few SRT4s at the AutoX. Lots of Wrxs, a few Evos and only 1 or 2 SRT4s.
The SRT4 can be very fast in a straight line, but every time I see one head for a curve all I see is brake lights.
Part of what I love about the Evo is the All around performance... go, stop and turn!!

you'll have your hands full with some of those modded SRT-4's. They're running in the 10's with street driveable cars and slicks while putting 400+hp to the wheels. If I had an EVO I'd shy away from this because I'd hate to lose and be the guy that ends up in some "SRT-4's Rule" vid on the web for eternity. And honestly, it's a pointless competition anyways....these cars aren't in the same class at all....you might as well throw Civics in the mix for good measure.

Why not see the best of SRT4s vs the best of EVOs???

Hmmmm SRT-4 is having big problems with Cobalt SS my friends and they have the guts to compare to us?!!!! Wow now that is quality entertainment. First of all there is no SRT-4 into the 10s. People that say that, are full of it. I talked with a couple of shops that tried to get the car into the 10s and they blew up 4 engines. These cars are extremly cheap built and I really don't know why people keep saying they are strong in a straight line. I raced my friends Srt-4 with Stage 3 on it and I stay 3 cars ahead everytime. All I did to my car is a TBE, and MBC. That is it and the guy cannot ever beat me. When I drove his car and he drove mine he pulled 5 or more cars ahead. So just to show you..... But my friend is really cool. He cannot afford a Evo so he bought a SRT-4. He never tought that he could take me even if he upgraded to max. SRT-4 sould worry about Cobalt SS, Saturn and RSX-Type S.

note that no SRT-4 owners compared themselves to EVO's on this thread....it was the other way around.
And personally, for every arrogant SRT-4 owner I've seen on the web there's an EVO owner acting like his **** doesn't stink either so in that regard it's a wash. The good thing about a contest like this I guess is that there WILL be cocky EVO owners and cocky SRT-4 owners who will lose.
