problem with this is how often do you see where people built up their car? Most people buy a slow car slap a fartcan and bodykit on it and thats it. Given the ones that actually do build up the cars tend to do a hell of a job, but like I said how often do you see that?
as for the ms3 I personally cant say anything bad about it because I havent driven one. I know they had that issue with motor mounts breaking and engines falling out when they first came out but I imagine thats long been fixed. I think its a good looking car.
As for the srt4 I've had one as my daily driver for nearly 3yrs now. I've loved everyday I've driven it and not had 1 problem out of it. I've read alot of peoples reasons in this thread for not liking it but besides their personally disliking of it I've not read one valid reason.
Lack of rear power windows?!- please. Do you drive in the rear seat? Dodge did not have a power window motor readily available to fit the rear doors of the srt4 and instead of driving up cost they just put crank. fine by me
hp/tq- yep ms3 has better crank #s but look at wheel #s and compare. They are remarkably close with the srt being ahead by some peoples #s and the ms3 ahead by others.
quarter mile #s- again very close
and to the morons who put its just a straight line car please do some research. these cars have been very successful racing round the twisties (speed world challenge, 1 lap, etc) unfortunately there was only 1 in speed world challenge this year due to I believe 3 were stolen with their trailers and all
/rant off
