For all you 4 banger technology buffs out there, i don't know who said it but they said it best. There's no substitute for cubic inches.

I once saw a sticker on a 1996 Twin Turbo Toyota Supra at the Qualcomm 1/8 mile drags here in San Diego that read :

"Technology is the only subsitute for cubic inches"

Boy was he wrong. Granted he was just an idiot, cause he didn't ever burn out and he spun his tires 1/2 way down the track, but every single high CI car there smoked him and every other 4 cyl. car there. There was an old 60's Nova II wagon with nothing but a Chevy 502ci Big Block in it smoking everything. I'll say it plain and simple, 4 bangers are cool and all with their factory turbos, but don't expect a souped up 4 banger to ever beat a souped up V8. Fastest drag cars in the world are V8's.

Can you tell I like big engines?

BTW : Nice SRT-4. I love Dodge, always have, always will. Anyone who makes an engine as awesome as the Hemi is good for life in my book.
