The SRT 4 also had 4 people in it (if you couldn't see them all in the video). Here's the thread about it SamelCamel is the driver (of SRT4) and IndyGSX is the film man in the WRX.

If you're wondering how well the SRT4 will hold up, just look @ the older turbo dodges. W/a lil loving they'll last forever and hold insane amounts of boost (but of course this is yet to be seen)

Here's another video:

from analyzing both videos, they both started from a 45~ish roll. the wrx got the jump on the SRT-WRX-TALON video but couldnt hold the lead. the other SRT-WRX video ( the one i posted) the neon got the jump from the same 45ish roll. all i can say is that...the wrx owner in the 1st video needs to drive the wrx in the 2nd video

funny how the neon just stopped pulling in 4th gear. i know it has nothing to do with aerodynamics cuz my car is a brick.

We're talking straightline performance here. I wanna see that Neon try to keep up with the WRX on a road course, afterall, that's what the WRX is designed for, HANDLING.
