Ouch man, Im sorry but you are uninformed. The srt comes stock with 220hp and 245 lbf of torque. Thats AT THE WHEELS. The WRX has 227 hp AT THE CRANK routed through their AWD system. Thats a substantial amount of drive train loss.

Do a little research man! The srt is consistently running the 1/4 in 14.0s, with a couple 13.9's in full stock trim.

I would never take anything away from the WRX as far as being a badass car for autox, rain, snow, etc. but its simply not as fast in a straight line. (the sti fills that gap for an extra $10k)

That video was originally debated and contested by the WRX owners. As each one of them saw the srt consistently working the WRX for themselves, they started to quiet down.
