Here's some more information for you...

Performance and Specifications
Curb weight: 2880 lb
Power: 215 WHP (2003 model), 230 WHP (2004-05 models).
Torque: 245 ft?lbf @3000 rpm (2003 model), 250 ft?lbf @2200 rpm (2004-05 models)
0-60 time: 5.3 seconds (Car & Driver)
1/4 mile time: 13.8-14.2 seconds (various magazine reviews)
1/4 mile speed: 98-102 mph (various magazine reviews)
Top Speed: 153 mph

Although the SRT-4 is rated at 230 hp (2004+), it was revealed that Dodge underrated the car's power production. Dodge tested the SRT-4 prototypes on the dyno with a fairly hot intercooler, which negatively affected overall efficiency. Most production SRT-4s in fact rate right around 230 hp at the wheels, therefore crank horsepower is estimated at 265-275 hp. This makes them fairly formidable versus much more expensive production sports cars in real world, "roll-on" situations from 30 mph and up.
In real world use, SRT-4's have run high 13's to low 14's at 100 - 105 mph in the quarter mile with a capable driver. The fastest documented stock (showroom unmodified) quarter mile time for a 2003 SRT-4 is 13.75 @ 101.68 mph, with a fastest trap-speed of 103.16 mph [1], while the fastest quarter mile times with documentation for more powerful 2004-2005 models include several 13.6's @ 105+mph. Those stock times included the use of the original, factory-equipped tires. Also, several modified, privately owned and driven SRT-4's have achieved 10 second 1/4 mile passes since 2005
By the way the top speed changes between the Stage's. I think that top speed (153) is based on a stock SRT-4.
