Default Re: srt-4ormazda3speed

Way off on the stock boost. Stock boost peaks at 15.6 psi. The mazdaspeed3 puts on 263 hp and 280 lb/ft of tq. Yes that is rated higher than the srt-4. HOWEVER the srt-4 is under-rated by dodge by A LOT. Every stock one I've seen dyno'd has put out just under 230 hp. Doing some quick backwards math that would put it's actually crank hp rating at or slightly above the mazdaspeed3. Also so far the fastest speed3 I've seen has been low 14's (14.2 I think) where as the fastest STOCK srt-4 is 13.6.

Where you will gain in the speed3 is in the "luxury" area. It is more refined and has more amenities than the srt-4. All of these come at a much much higher cost though. Also the 6-spd tranny is supposed to be very crisp and clean.

If it came down to NEW cars for the money I believe I would choose the speed3 over most others. However stock for stock the srt-4 will win.
