SRT4 can't beat a EVO VIII vid
I went to this site and could see how a STI and SRT4 performed against an EVO VIII.

a) srt4("neon") have almost as much hp as the evo.
b) Almost as much tq.
c) Weigh 300lbs less....
d) FWD has less drivetrain loss than awd.
Stock vs Stock...its a drivers race.

I should have elaborated. It wont win from a dig (unless you bog). If its the video i think it is, they do both...again, which comes down to driver.
Well yeah it would be a drivers race, but the same is true of an evo vs a civic. The driver plays a huge part of any competition. Assuming they are both of an equal skill level, then the Evo should easily beat the SRT-4. SRT's at like 234 hp and 246 tq, while the evos at 241 hp and 262 tq. These numbers are from the September issue of Sport Compact Car. The 0-60s are 5.9 s for the SRT-4 and 4.8 s for the Evo.

An SRT-4 can beat an Evo, granted, not in stock form. If you guys hung around srtforums, you might have caught the video of an Evo getting killed, even from a dig. I'll see if I can procure the link for you guys. In case you wanted to know how badly the Evo lost, lets just say he gets a lead at the beginning, but after a few seconds the "Neon" is gone.

I think that you're stretching it with the civic bit. With that much hp difference, you could suck at shifting and still edge out a civic.
What i am getting at is this:
Evo
Displacement 2.0
Weight (without sunroof) 3253
HP/TQ 271/273
Drivetrain AWD
Srt-4
Displacement 2.4
Weight 2953
HP/TQ 230/250
2.0 vs 2.4
Drivetrain FWD
From a roll srt is lighter and has less drivetrain loss....bigger displacement...def gonna be close
