of course a boosted honda could take an SRT-4.. but an SRT-4 is nothing to poop on.. what brand new $20k car can you buy that puts like 250 lbs of tq to the wheels? wut kinda brand new honda can you get with a retail sticker of $20k? a 130 lb/ft civic Si :eh: .. i'm no domestic-lover, but i'm just saying ur comparing apples and oranges.. of course you could beat him with a modded honda, but will it have near 0 miles on the odometer like the SRT-4? no, the SRT-4 is a great value.... pending its reliability
