And Matt you are very right. I think that was one of the random facts about Subaru owners.

so is going faster with a lighter car 
buddy ole pal!
What i dont understand is cars that dont include a radio.
Porsche Spyder claims 6.6lbs savings since they dont have a radio...that doesnt make sense to me. No AC, thats a no brainer since thats 30 or 40 lbs.

In that case one should just do away with windows that open in the back or just do away with the back window altogether.

Was bored..was searching online and that came up among other things.
Now all these claims are made from SRT-4s stock. Apparently they have some software tune called ms1 or s1 (boost from stock 6psi to 15 psi or something) that's supposed to be the be all end all.

FWD turbo's are pretty decent from a roll once they get going, but from a dig NO contest.
They lack the handling and stability of AWD like the Suby or Evos

Most reviews place the Caliber SRT4 at the bottom of the scale.
Even if you look for videos online there is really nothing super spectacular, I would say the online video races are about 70/30 in favor of the other car, and even then it is only drag racing. Any crack head and drive a car for a 1/4 mile, what about turns or hills or turns or mud or gravel or snow or turns?
If you are only purchasing a car for the straight line speed (2009 Caliber SRT4 0-60 is 5.6, 1320 is low 14's), I'm not really sure this is the one to buy. It might be the one to buy if you are loyal to American cars and live in a trailer park where your real competition is the guy at the end of the row in his 1988 Iroc-z and 12" mullet.
