True all three cars are very comparable, but truthfully I like my GTI better. I would drive a srt4 only if it was given to me...but im defiantly happy with my GTI.
if you going to buy a car for the purpose of making it faster, cheaper the neon is the way to go.
But if you enjoy German cars and the comforts of the cars then Dubs are the way to go.
Every car has its ups and downs. It’s all personal opinion.
Just thought I share this clip with you guys, kinda thought it was funny.![]()

Is that data accurate in the comparison. Stock WRX .80g on the skidpad??? And why not compare it to a WRX with some of the factory SPT parts on there. Seems kind of lop-sided to compare a tuned car to a stock car. The test should have been done with all the cars stock, and all the cars with the same mods. I.E. all have an intake, all have a 3in or 2 1/2 in exhaust, all have a rear sway bar, all have some sort of stage1 or 2 EM, all have an upgraded clutch. and so on... To see how each car responds to mods compared to another. I understand that same day test and results don't let the driver of the car learn how to drive it to the cars full potential. They say 0-60 in the wrx in 6.0sec. I'm not a stat guru, but I'm sure it's faster then that. I not saying that a WRX is the fastest car, by all means it's not. I not here to say that the WRX is the best car ever. But it take a good amount of pratice to learn how to launch an AWD car properly.
I wish there was a way that we(the drivers of our respected cars) could sanction a comparision on some test grounds. We could take members from different forums with stock cars like the srt4, wrx, rsx-s, cobaltt ss. Then get some members with stage 1 cars, and stage 2 and so on. Then the drivers would all switch cars untill they drove every car. Then they would take all the data and put each drivers stats for each car. Then average out the stats for 1 car with all the different drivers, to eliminate most of the driver skill argument. That is if each driver drove the car honestly and didn't tank a test on porpuse to build up their own make of car. Then finally compareJust a pipe dream I suppose, but would be tons of fun none the less.
In your first vid it looks like you have some WG issues. Is it an EWG? Still a mean car, but good luck putting that power down, short of big slicks and rear drag bars(wheelie bars for RWD). I did see that second vid on your forum, yes I am a member. I like to keep up to date on all cars. I never really post I just read.
On a side note, I personally don't like srt-4's at all, but to each his own. That car has it's rightful place in the tuner world, and has it's followers just like any worth-while performance car.
P.S. I just saw that the link to the stats is on the second page and the ranking were on ther first page. That test was all F'd up.

we can dream thats for sure. other then that i dont carry a g meter and timing equipement with me to test cars out either, lol.that test was also terrible buts its what you would exspect from C&D. thats really the only type of numbers dont lie type of info you can hand out. other then that its just mostly guess work.
that car deff has a egw. and its problem there you can here is its lack of fuel. (letting off at to lean conditions) they later switch from 1000ccs to 1600s.
here is the same car blowing its tranny up while destroying 2 z06s on pump gas (515whp)
