Um... yea for street racing?
Basically what I learned fromt that "evaluation" is that if you throw money at cars they go faster in a straight line. Which is true for any car... a school bus with enough money into it would be faster. And doing this comparison on the street makes it all but useless information, since you can't repeat the conditions... not to mention the shear idiocy of racing an STi up to 5th gear... what is that, like 120 mph?
The best part is a Spec Miata would hand
all three of those cars a big helping of their own ass on any race track or autoX course.
And this kills me:

1 SRT-4 + a few modifications = 1 dead stock EVO.
1 SRT-4 + a few modifications = 1 dead stock STI.
1 SRT-4 + a few modifications = a drivers race with an STI + an exhaust system.
1 SRT-4 + an n2o kit = one crazy rocket ship.

Of course an SRT-4 with mods is as fast as stock STis and EVOs.
But you're not stock anymore!! How is that any sort of comparison? If you're gonna compare mods, then run that SRT-4 against a Vishnu Stage 1 STi.
Everyone knows the SRT-4 is a fast-ass car. I'm not a fan of FWD so I don't want one, but I can recognize that that Neon is a cool car, with tons of potential! And frankly, all the EVO and STi/WRX owners I know all feel the same way. But it seems that the SRT-4 owners have a big ego/inferiority complex. Basicaly, that post seems like SRT-4 owners trying to convince themselves there cars are fast.
Aparently they're they feel they need to prove themselves against EVO and STi owners... which I guess is why SRT-4 owners have a reputation for pulling crazy shit on the streets all the time.
