Very simple.

Power
SRT-4 > Tiburon

Looks
SRT-4 < Tiburon (Unless the SRT-4 is that SEXY Orange]
---
SRT-4 is just a so much better platform to start with. 4k gets you 420WHP. On the Tib, you'll need 10k+ to get to that power. SRT-4s are horribly fast.

next person who goes off topic gets a warning...

And wether or not I agree about your plans to build up your car JUST to beat a chevelle.. at least you got a goal.. go out there and send him home with his tail between his legs.

I'm sure 12.44 in a N/A Tib is possible... just not with a Beta I tongue.gif

I was under the assumption that this was for a street car as this is not a drag racing RDTiburon site. Twin engine AWD isn't streetable as I don't see it passing emissions and local laws anywhere although it probably would be able to be driven daily, although not comfortably.
