Nope, didn't say that. A Porsche 365 only puts 80hp to the crank, and it's a
performance car. Steven's trying to compare the two as equals which they are
not. They are two entirely different class of cars. I would have no problem
owning a SRT-4. They are actually very sweet cars(especially the fact that
they are just 20k, the Porsche 911 Turbo on the other hand is like $120k).
But if money was no object given the choice of having one(the SRT-4) or the
other(the Porsche 911 Turbo), the Porsche would win hands down. A comparison
between two almost like cars would be a 911 Turbo and a Viper. The Viper is
the least expensive of the two, but performance wise the two are very close.
I used to own both a 87 GLHS and a 91 Shadow Turbo. Very fun cars.
