Exclamation Lots of ??'s Need Help/Opinion

I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR ANY GRAMMAR OR SPELLING MISTAKES

I know this has prolly been asked here before more than once, and i apologize in advance for those that think this is a waste of a thread and that searching would have answered my questions.

I can't decide if i want the Speed3 or the SRT4.

I've done tons of research on the Speed3, read on multiple forums for months about this car and how it handles power etc.

I wouldn't really say im new to SRT4's because i've always been a fan and used to read the NSRT4 forums a lot a few years back, never did own either of the two cars tho. I've been reading on this forum for the past few days trying to learn all i could.

Some things i like about the speed3 that the srt4 doesn't offer.

Speed3:
GT package with projector HID headlights and LED tails
Dash has a really nice lay out
Steering wheel controls

I do admit that the srt4 looks A LOT more aggresive than the speed3 but at the same time it looks kinda like a suv/minivan.

I'm not really looking for these to be luxury cars or anything like that, i just dont want it to be so simple an plain as say the old nsrt. Which is why i like the speed3, it just seems to have more of a nicer feel to it inside.

I've driven the speed3 a few times now and liked it, its fast but for sure needs upgrades asap. I haven't driven the new srt4, i will prolly go drive one tomorrow.

I want to get the car that is going to be able to handle the most power in the long run, because i know i will always want more power, and the ability to mod needs to be there.

So some questions i have are, how much power is being made with all the mods that are out right now? what is being done about traction, i know on the speed3 replacing the rear engine mount helped traction and reduced wheel hop. is there anything like this for the srt4?

I saw some post of the srt4 that ran mid 12's with slicks, but i believe it had an upgraded turbo or something along those lines. That was a good time but if i remember right he was using slicks, so that changes things.

I remember some time ago someone got their speed3 into the high 12's on stick turbo and street tires untuned, which i thought was pretty good.

Sorry for the long post, hope someone can help me out and answer some of these questions and maybe convince me to get a srt4.
