They are rated at 215/245, but Sport Compact Car dyno'd it at 223 FWHP, which means they are severely underrated........and that matched Dodge's dyno results by 2hp.....No doubt that with some tuning, the right bolt ons, and the right driver, it might can be a force to be reckon with................V8's don't rule the world anymore guys........as much as we may hate to admit it.

Although we do sound better no matter what!!!

Sure they do. Turbocharge a V8 mustang and the neon won't be shining as brightly. Apples to apples.

Someone go and drive at least one and tell me if the shifter is better than the 2 I drove. If they are all like that they will be hard to shift quickly.
But as I said before - very good bang for the buck.

You watch what happens when Ford brings the Turbocharged SVT Focus out. Thats all cosworth engineering right there.

I saw a brand spanken new SRT 4 at the track last weekend. He ran 14.98 @ 96 mph @ 1100 ft. Not to shabby stock.

They will hit low 13's and high 12's in a few months.
