The Cayenne Turbo (450hp) is one mean machine. Amazing acceleration for such a big car...I had trouble keeping up with it with my VIII, will have to try with the IX though..

Yeah, The SRT8 Jeep will rip the Cayenne Turbo for less than half the cash! But the only thing giving the evo a run is the Jeep, not the Porsche... but then again, that is in a straight line. These things would role in a second after turn one!!!

From what I've read, this is part of the cross platform sharing between Mitsubishi and Dodge. The EVO X, PT Cruiser SRT-4, and this Caliber SRT-4 will use the same AWD chasis and all have a Mitsubishi Turbo 2.4 I-4. The Neon SRT-4 will not be produced.
I'll try to find the article again!

And I gave you a simple answer. Interesting way to sneak something past the swear filter. If you had searched, or posted this in the correct forum, then it wouldn't have been hard to find.

I'm in an uproar? Ha ha.

What I think is crazy is that everything has 300 hp these days. I mean it wasn't long ago that most cars were in the 140 ish range.

Notice anything strange in the engine bay? Yup, this is Honda/Acura’s first stock from factory engine equipped with a turbocharger! This 2.3 liter i-VTEC Turbo 4-cylinder all-aluminium engine is turbocharged with a variable flow turbocharger which gives it some impressive performance stats of 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

Hmmm...if they made an i-vtec turboed motor for the rsx...

Amazing how you had to buy a sports car or a muscle car to get something that could do the quarter mile in the 13's. Now, you can get friggin mini vans and station wagons that can do it.
