Battle of the Imports between Dodge SRT-4, M-S protege, SVT Focus, Mini cooperS, Sentra SpecV, Hyundai tiburon, volkswagen GTi, Civic SI
I guess it was a touch choice between the two Turbocharged machines but since the SRT-4 has the straight line performance and the MS-protege has the Handling they chose to go up and around the hills to decide who's quicker. Well as they chirrped through the hills the it took almost 3miles for the SRT-4 to even get a gap from the mazdaspeed, that's how close and fast they were. mazda had the speed to keep up with beast machine, but overall the SRT-4 took 1st while the MS-protege took 2nd, it wasn't a easy choice even though they both are quick and have the performance for the price but damm these cars are devistating.
