If an SRT4 raced off the line he might spin his wheels and lose a few car lengths.
I bet you knew all of this and just wanted him to say it?

On a side note the new Cobalt SS beat the SRT-4 in acceleration and track time, IIRC. Something I wouldn't have expected.

The cobalt SS vs. SRT-4 article in motor trend had the following numbers..
Cobalt SS 2005 Srt-4
0-30 2.2sec 2.4sec
0-40 3.5 3.8
0-50 4.8 4.9
0-60 6.1 6.0
0-70 7.9 7.8
0-80 10.2 9.7
0-90 12.6 11.8
0-100 15.4 13.8
1/4 mile 14.4sec@99.3mph 14.4sec@100.8mph
braking 60-0 113ft 118ft
g-pad 0.88g 0.88g
course track 97.2 seconds 97.4 seconds
Check the 1/4 numbers vs. the 0-100 numbers. Doesn't make much sense on either car so makes me think someone was fudging numbers. The SRT-4 will out-accelerate a Cobalt but the Cobalt will outhandle an SRT-4.

Also, the reason SRT-4 owners like racing from a roll is the same reason you awd owners like racing from a dig. It's an advantage. Unless you're racing fwd vs. fwd or awd vs. awd, it's hard to find a way to race where one car doesn't have an advantage over the other. You guys should take it as a props that we know you would work us from a dig and therefore concede the win without actually racing. At least that's the way I look at it. I love Subie's and would drive an STi myself if my budget permitted.

SRT-4 = Peice of S H I T...human deathbox's that are way overrated. Ever notice the first mod most SRT-4 owners do is a BOV. Guess they like everyone to notice that they drive a POS NEON 
Oh notice in the video how they talk **** about the c5 vett calling the driver a richboy (just cuzz he didnt want to run), i think most srt-4 owners would trade there Fuc ken peice of plastic with wheels for a vett.
