Caliber SRT-4...is it all that?

I was browsing the interweb this morning looking for WRX related stuff and came upon the a Caliber SRT-4 forum post. And wow, these guys are talking some crazy **** about WRXs/STis and MS3s.
Here's an example about dissing the MS3:

and this about the WRX/STI:

I googled the Caliber SRT and it has 285HP and 265TQ which is impressive but looking at fastestlaps.com it always comes behind the STI, WRX, and MS3.

reminds me of a top gear episode where they had to mod a mini van of some sort to beat an evo. i think one of the last things they modded was power. brakes and suspension first. not all about hp

The Caliber SRT4 is a pile of crap by magazine racing standards as well as in real life. So at least it's consistent.

The Caliber is the new Neon. Literally. Pretty much the Dodge counterpart to the new Impreza hatch. When I was looking at cars I went to Stevens Creek Chrysler Jeep and Dodge to look at a Jeep Compass and I almost got a Caliber. Luckily they were a bunch of dicks and I didn't get the car. But I realized that I liked it so much because it really is the same as the 08+ Subaru Hatch, just a crappy version with none of the standard features that you get with Subaru.
