SRT-4 2970 lbs/215 hp = 13.81 lbs/hp
WRX sedan 3085 lbs/227 hp = 13.59 lbs/hp
Very close, but that doesn't tell the whole picture since the WRX is an all wheel drive vehicle the drivetrain loss is around 25%, the SRT-4 is 15-18% (not enough of them on the road to know for sure yet)...so...
SRT-4 @ 15% loss = 2970 lbs / 182.75 whp =16.25 lbs/whp
WRX @ 25% loss = 3085 lbs / 170.25 whp = 18.12 lbs/whp
giving the power edge to the SRT-4
I would still rather have my wrx
My wagon 3165lbs / 230 whp = 13.76 lbs/whp

Dyno sheets are over at srtforums or neons.org if you wanna checkem out. So i guess dodge underrated it QUITE a bit. BUT, ur wagon would still hand it it's ***, lol. Some guy called Exhaust Depo over at srtforums.com put a 3' turbo back on his srt and dyno meausured 270 lbs of torque at the wheels after with just that, pretty impressive gain. Might be some good competition down the road...

HP=Torque X RPM / 5252
so that when RPM is 5252 then torque=hp.
by definition, this must be the crossover point so either the dyno is out of calibration OR someone has fudged numbers OR many dynos let you play with the parameters but doing this gives a false curve.
The car SCC measured was a prototype, lets get some production readings of production cars. Crank dynos are more accurate with less variation. Wheel dynos can read all over the place. Lets get 10-20 readings off a production car on a Dyno Dynamic or Mustang dyno. Don't get too excited by SCC or incorrect dyno charts.
Good Luck.

Hehe,
I wish more cars like this revved on me.
I am so anxious for the STi to come out and for the EVO to be more common. Same goes for SRT-4. All those people will be driving their cars, thinking they are da bomb. Then, they rev on me. Then, they want to throw their cars away.
Very amusing.
I won't do that. I prey on big cats. Porsches. One old guy literally started crying after he revved on me.
