Not sure if it was said here but a guy on the WRX boards posted, he has a Evo, and a kid in a SRT-4 was next to him in a left turn only lane. apparently the SRT-4 is showing off his BOV and the evo guy doesnt even pay any attention, well after about 30sec of straight BOV the evo guy gets annoyed. he yells to the SRT-4, "Hey!" points to the evo's rear windows and proceeds to make them go up and down (since the SRT-4 doesnt have power windows). The SRT-4 guy gets mad and peels out when the light changes. hahahha.

Sure the RS doesnt have power windows, but thats a track spec version. at least the GSR and MR have power options.
Are you sure the SRT's hood scoops (theres only one) are useless? Pop the hood and see where the air ducts flow to. The wrx's hood scoop is obviously functional... because they decided to put the intercooler under the hood


The wrx does look better than the srt, i'll give you that

as for the power rear windows, they didnt feel they were absolutely necessary. they would be nice to have, but would you base your next car's purchase on the availability of power rear windows? The srt is like the RS in a few ways, inexpensive, not many creature comforts and a whole lotta power...

whats wrong with that?

The SRT hood scoops are not useless. I went to a dealer to inquire about buying an SRT but I wanted to swap the hood out and get rid of the spoiler. In short I wanted it to look like a regular Neon. They said it would void the warranty because the scoops cool the engine.

lol.....I don't know about anyone else but the hood scoop on my '04 SRT-4 had a plastic insert which was solid....nothing gets in there. As far as I know that hood scoop is non-functional unless you mod it somehow.
