hahaha ok not quite, but it blows off ALOT. I can blow off @ 1500rpms in 4th gear lol. I do not have a boost gauge yet, but it builds boost and spools the turbos very low in the RPM range, its hottt

Last time I checked opinions stood. Also he was referring to the very quick spool with his second comment.

Can't imagine how people would think that Lexus owners have an elitist attitude...

A stock SRT-4 will hand the *** to any stock Lexus for $2xk. Sure, it's a Neon, but BMW and MB drivers look down on you for driving a Toyota.

its a CFL thing, we just make fun of how SRT4s blow off even when they are turned off. The stock 1JZ turbos spool very quick, i cant drive over 80mph or else i build boost cruising and fuel mpg goes from mid 20s to mid teens!!

Stock SRT-4's trap high 90's......... a GS430 would make lunch out of a stock SRT4 light to light.

The GS may be nimble for a sedan, but try to turn it next to a Peon.

I'd be willing to bet a stock GS430 and a stock SRT4 would be very similar in whatever "performance" bout you can think of.

whoa whoa whoa!!!! obvisously some one has noooooooo clue what they are talking about please kind sir know the facts before you speak... in order to not spread false beliefs on the forums. have you ever driven an srt-4????? if u had you would know that it has the worst turning radius you will literally ever see in a car.. how do i know this?? my best friend and buisness partner owns one (it may have 500 hp but its still a neon) my other friends 96 dodge ram has a better turning radius than the srt-4 literally we tested. just had to say something because that was probably the most retarded statement ive ever heard after driving an srt-4
