I am guessing the 4 doors are cheaper on insurance than if it had only 2. Come to think about, I can't think of another car I would have for 20K.
Don't forget the bumped up HP and TQ for 04 models. 230hp and 250ftlbs of torque with the LSD. Staged mods warrantied from dodge can get you about 300 hp for a few grand more. All that for probably about 25k. Cannot be touched in its class.

Me likes the srt-4 seats I fit in them. My upper body doesn't like to fit in some racing seats.

If it's just then whys it so quick??

Just thought I'd add Rico's not an asshole, just opinionated nothing wrong with that. I think I spelled that right.

Whats up with the whole.... "did you buy a supra for a penis compensation" thing?.... are you dumb HE'S BLACK


I swear nothing beats morons posting
Whatever alls im saying is why come out and tell someone there car sux.......I did go a bit over board with the penis thing but "faggot"? Does this cat know me? And second of all Yeah I drive a Sentra.....What of it? I also drive a RWD 200sx S12 with a Redtop? What? I also have a family unlike most enthusiast and have to carry my son around town......Lets not forget my car was bought for suspension, not starit line power.....Lets see a street supra Autocross......Yeah uh huh......And as for you.....Is this guy not old enough to fight his own battles? Who the fuck is "Hybrid AWD" ? I f i said hey "Hybrid" go piss up a rope i could see you gettin in it.....But i got no beef with what you said, I'm not gonna sit here and tell anyone my car is ever gonna be cappable of what a supra can put down, but im into performance not numbers.......If I put 250 WHP to the ground and you put 1000 down in a supra who's gonna outrun who at a twistie track......And me saying Supra's suck ass had nothing to do with me saying he sucked cause he drives one its just my opinion, I'd take a Skyline or a Silvia over a Supra anyday of the week.....


"94supraTT" I appologize for snappin at you but dont try to bellittle my coment with a disrespectful, "Did I make myself clear?"

And as for the question on topic, after all this arguing.......I'd take the STI over the SRT-4 if i could get a radio in the STI.....

Are you implying that Supras are not good handling cars? Supras handle EXCELLENT. A modded Supra say 600rwhp (mid-sized turbo) vs. a 250hp Sentra at VIR would not even be a race. Not sure if you know this but Andi B.'s Supra placed 6th this year and 4th last year in One Lap of America. Picture below...



Also, I accept your apology.

Meant A 1000 HP is a bit too much for tight ass turns not implying I have a few freinds with supras....Handle good but Seem a lil heavy, and Sluggish into a turn (from driving the car expirience) But Squased I'm done with the Supra senario.....Lets get togeather and run the supra Vs the S12 At VIR though...HEHE......Just playin bro, but it would be close im sure....

Sentra = POS
91-94 Sentra Se-r- Car and Driver Top Ten, all 4 years
I know of a 98 Sentra on this site that can hold his own on a road course.
Sentras have potential, and are pretty inexpensive.
Supras are nice and are in a different class, doesn't mean he has to kiss ass though.
Hey just trying to help a Nissan brother out

to bad i know volvo 5 cylinders that run faster then u rocky even with a stock turbo lol..... so its jsut preference of a car and ill tell u know mr2s arent light.... ill have mid engine car being built ready by late spring early summer that will walk all over your turbo mr2.... lets see go look up a grand national runs with 20 psi and alochol injection of stock turbo... then drop 1200 poudns off the weight of the grand national and see if u can beat me... u are just antoher one of those cocky mr2 mother fuckers... supras are better then your car... mr2s arent hte bext mid engine car designed....
I like the new volvo wagon but that is it. Your car in no where near tight. Your the one who went off on a tangent thinking your the shit. I myself never said that my car was unstoppable, but i defenitely knows the capability of a tt supra. dude, you won't have shit in the spring or summer! I could care less because i've decided to get out of the car modding business and get rid of the mr2. Who the fuck said the mr2 was the best mid engined car? maybe you think its not because its kinda hard to beat a ferrari!!! but guess what, the mr2 was based on the ferrari so eat a dick! the 3sgte motor is pretty much supposed to be the superior motor for 4 cylinders. I never said Mr2's were light, actually they are an affordable, mid engined, sports car that is very rare. do yourself a favor and drive your nerdy ass into a brick wall in your shitty volvo.

have fun building your gay feirro too because i'm sure thats what your talkin bout. shit i'll even sell you my upgraded turbo thats in my trunk fag!

If i put an additional $20,000 into my GTI, so it's putting 450hp to the wheels, does that make it anything more than a fast GTI?

So what if I could beat Corvettes, Trans Ams, M3s, etc...it is still a GTI. Those cars will always be in a higher class than mine, regardless if I beat them down the track.

Cars have never been ONLY about horsepower and torque output. Some people see it this way, but if this was true, we'd all be driving old VW Bugs running 8 second 1/4s.

That said, the SRT-4 is a decent car overall, and a very good car for the price. My GTI cost about the same (got it for around 21k). However, just because an SRT could beat me at a stoplight doesn't mean I'd want one over my GTI.

If I ever beat a M5 in a race, should I expect the owner to bow down to my car? No...because it is still just a GTI.
