I was giving you one set of psi, not where it stops for a stock motor. Seen 350-400whp stock 93 pump gas tC's. Drag racing from a dig would be the AWD advantage, that's a no brainer. An SRT-4 is not AWD, which you mentioned that as well. Secondly, If just say you were to add a roll run, I would put a 350whp tC against a 400whp Evo/STI and put my bet on the tC to win due to being less weight (not to mention seeing that I've seen a 300whp take out a near 400whp STI before). 10psi on a capable turbo you can expect 320-330whp and torque. 11.5-12 about 350-360whp. And that's just straight pump. Of course e85 will be a different story, but where internals start to fail is around 400whp.

This comment fails, because drivers are not created equal. If they were, there wouldn't be vids of a tC on the track, running down an M3, Vette, Evo, R35 GTR..etc. The wide tire part was commical as you can stuff huge rubber under a lot of cars (including tC's), but it doesn't mean it's going to work to your advantage. To wide on an AWD could result in more understeer.
You can sit here and bench race all you want to. All I'm just telling you is, it's not as slow as you think it would be. That is all. Don't bother responding if all you going to do is say well..."X car with X mod and this boost will destroy a tC"....blah blah blah.
