SRT4 or keep my POS?
3000ways you really think your A4 is so great? Overpriced Passat with weak performance and extremely bland handling.
Seriously calling a car that has an engine on par with the 4G63, a suspension that can easily be made to handle over 1g on skidpads and a bulletproof drivetrain a POS is just rediculous. If an SRT is a POS then so is an EVO. Drivetrain doesn't say whether a car is a POS or not.
The SRT-4 is a step up in all performance categories compared to a stock WRX, as well as in terms of reliability.

^^My thoughts exactly. I would keep the WRX, especially since it is all wheel drive. Also you would be going from Japanese to domestic. Saying a Dodge is more reliable than a Subaru is like saying rear wheel drive is better in snow than all wheel drive. Think about it, which has more customer satisfaction in the long run, a Subaru Legacy or a Dodge Avenger? Just look at Subaru's history in terms of longevity and reliability. Although the SRT4 has some Mitsubishi parts, turbo, intercooler. That's why it is so fast.

Um look at the facts. The SRT-4 is faster, handles better, better braking, better tires, lighter, and has better low end torque for drivability. Also when modding the SRT-4 is easier to make faster, especially on the highway. Not saying the WRX doesnt have the potential to be faster, but it costs more to due so.
Obviously you have no clue how reliable the SRT-4 is, all i hear about WRX owners are problem after problem. Mostly about trannys. My SRT-4 hasn't had a problem except through my own doing. I happen to know quite a few SRT-4 owners in my area and they have proven to be extremely reliable. Ever read SCC's article on the SRT-4 engine? Bulletproof, just like the 4G63. It just hasn't had 10+ years of people extracting power out of it.
Judging it just by it's brand is simply ignorant. People do that with EVO's too. Say its crap just because it was made by mitsu, however anyone who knows about them knows they are amazing.

I would love to see the comparison between a stock evo vs a stock srt-4 on a track. There is no comparing the two cars. dont get over zealous. The two cars are very different.
Dont get me wrong, the srt is a great bargain for 20k, but stock for stock for stock i think a wrx would beat it arround a road course.
Btw where do you get that an srt4 handles better than a wrx?

Ok, well this is the whole Idea (I'm Thinking) behind this mastermind's(Drews_WRX) Reasoning.... IN terms of posting on a Mitsubishi(EVO)Board that is
.... here goes:
He is talking about upsizing from a 2.0L engine to a 2.4l Engine on a (Again I say) Mitsubishi board.. If everyone did their homework like WE are supposed to, we would CLEARLY know that all three cars we are talking about (ie.. EVO/DSM, WRX, SRT-4) have IN FACT mitsubishi parts... lol ...
On the other hand it all depends on where this individual in question lives. Meaning does he see snow, does he need to use the AWD other than for fun purposes/factors such as CURVACIOUS roads... AWD for some is only a fun factor but for others its a reality that speaks for its self in the way that If they were to get into an accident would they not only survive that accident but would they be able to use that AWD to their ADVANTAGE in order to NOT get int othat accident.. what I am saying is, "Safety Factors"...
I could really go on and on about how the AWD is soo much more than just a fun factor.. but I hope by now we all get the point...
Thank you for letting me voice my opinion ...
