calling another car garbage? lol maybe after 60 ft the car seems slower not because of the awd,but because of the hp discrepancy. do you honestly think that you would be able to chase down a wrx when racing from a stop if it had the same hp as your car? yes stock for stock, an srt would chase down a wrx if the race was long enough... not because of awd, but because the srt has about 20-40 more horses to the wheels than the wrx. yes people could say well the srt is cheaper yada yada yada. speedwise, Its definitely a good bang for the buck. but i think subaru had other concerns besides going fast in a car. Compare the rest of the car and i think you'd see the difference. And for a car with about 170'sh (not sure on that though, lol) horses to the wheels, going low 14's is not so bad.
