Straight line? Fine, straight line isn't my cup of tea.

Around a track? Perhaps, but I'd bet that has more to do with driver and setup then the actual car (unless you've seen some stock versus stock track race that I haven't). We'll hopefully be able to see them race in Speed World GT/TC next year, when FI cars are allowed.

Rally? SRT-4 is dominating FWD, but still can't keep up with AWD cars. They are running Stage 2 and Stage 3 cars, they still can't beat Group N WRXs.

And yeah, I do think the SRT-4 is a decent car. I just think stuff Subaru offers is better as an all around package.
