This is what the owner had to say over at srtforums:

"Well the Wing has grown on me, the car doesn't look like a Neon at all. Here are a few other answers to some of the questions I have seen.

Rims - They are made by ARE the brand is Riax, Seca Model 18"
Tires - Are Cooper Zenon's
Suspension - Made By KW they are the Mopar level 3, adj Height and Rebound.
Intake - AGP CAI
Exhaust - Billy Boat, turbo back, with no cat = Loud.

The car is running a bit rich, I have not had it back on the dyno yet to fine tune it. Shortly after taking the car back I had to replace the axels and motor mounts. That has drained the bank account for a bit.

She is running great and sounds like a freaking Freight Train when the turbo spools up. Psi is set to 16-17, and I haven't changed that yet. May not either as it has gobs of power, for my needs anyway.

Ben and the Guys at Tuner transformation did an awsome job on the car, I am soo happy! Jon and the fellas at Protech have been very helpful (with the axels etc..) since the taping as well.

Cheers,
MK"

That show sucks. Nice SRT. I didn't realize how much more difficult the SRTs engine configuration is. The turbo is in the back and integrated to the manifold, there is also a stock integrated BOV, and to change the fuel pump, you must drop the fuel tank.

well, I dont know how they got all those parts for 10 000. I guess its due to the cheap american parts?? I mean if u went HKS on all thos products, you would easily be over 15 000

I think those guys are idiots, but this SRT-4 got some serious mods. Like SinCityEvo said, I can't believe how awful the engine setup is on that car. I wouldn't mind free turbo, BOV, Wastgate, FMIC, A/F controller, Exhaust, etc. on my EVO.

That show is pittiful. I wouldn't let them touch my EVO if they paid me. Maybe if that show was an hour long or something, but I kept getting the feeling it was a commercial for all the different parts. Lame.

You guys are so correct too.. That engine config looked gawd awfull! Nothing looked like it was designed with ease or tuning in mind.

-just my opinion.

yeah, that show usually sucks but I had to watch this one. As stated before I like everything but the wing. 372hp at the wheels with only 17lbs of boost is NUTS! And we know that the car can handle that being a daily driver pretty easy too. Now I'm getting the itch for mods.....I just like my warranty

well just alittle history refresh for you all the first lancer was made in 1973 and it has had a long evolution since then... pissing on a neon for being a neon when a evolution is just a lancer... dodge has been making turbo cars with mitsubishi for ages basically what you're doing is slapping your sister, or brother, but whatever strokes your ego is fine and comparing cars do something like this, Lancer OZ Vs Neon SRT, or OZ VS WRX compare the EVO (highest priced lancer) to Subi's ESX but then again the ESX really has no comparison but you dont see too many pissing contests about that one

anyone that says the srt4 is just a neon is an idiot. Also, anyone that says an evo is just a lancer is also an idiot..... Thats the dumbest way to prove your point...

I don't understand what's so hard to believe about that. Spending $1500 can put an SRT-4 into the 12's. S1, WGA, DR's, Exhaust.

Stock SRT-4's taking these cars from a dig, now that's another story.

are u talking a modded srt-4 vs those cars stock or modded car vs modded car? modded vs modded i doubt that the srt-4 would win. with 1500 the evo can be mid 12's with stock tires. there are a couple srt-4s out here my friend raced we were in his stage 3 wrx he crushed them partly i think because the were bad drivers. then me and my friend raced and i pulled on him like 3 car lengths all i have done is aie intake and turbo back. his wrx btw is an automatic so he raced them from a roll.
