I wouldn't think so much of the elevation as the temperature, colder in wisconsin

Fast is fast, no matter who makes it. A lot of people say the same about Honda's.

SRT-4s are impressive cars out the gate, and with a couple of changes are pretty nasty.Now the advantage your GSR turbo has IS as long as you built everything correctly, your turbo is gonna be sized better for your power goals, and your gonna have a more agressive top end. The SRT-4s stock turbo is small because it was designed to feel like a bigger motor, with a smooth power band. As long the SRT-4s your pitting your self against havent done to much, you should be able to handle them

well if u look at a srt4 its a big 2.4 or w/e liter motor with a turbo, torque is gonna move u quicker, and all that power is gonna grab alot of mph, theres a few in my town but wont race me, and i asked them why, they said cuz they cant drive, somehow they found out my family is a racing family and think im gonna dog them, im like uh no, i have a stock ls integra

SRT 4's are pretty quick little cars that unfortunately respond very well to the smallest of mods. When my car was stock I ran one at the track beating him with a mid 13 second run compared to his low 14 second run. I haven't had problems beating any with my current set up but I know that there are some faster ones around that will more than likely give me a run for the money. I have seen videos of lightly modded srt's (stage one's & two's) beating turbo honda's and acura's from a roll so be careful.

yeah its a guy that have one in a street class, of v-8 cars, it was pretty nice car tho, had street tires too, it ran 11.7' @ 119mph, but like i said u think about it 2.4 liter and turbo i hope it can move some, it should be quick, imagine if the h22 cam stock with a turbo and was bumpped up a lil bit more like 2.5L's, she'll be bad, but im more of a allmotor guy and sometimes u use nitrous

the problem with the srt-4 is that the transmission is a time bomb.

except not.

i wouldn't expect either of them to last too long under race conditions without major rebuilds to the blocks or transmissions.

something like an STi on the otherhand has been proven to pull 400+ whp reliably without any problems.

even a b-series trasmission can take alot, there are many people running turbo b's into the 300's without major concern
