I wouldn't say "flipping out"....... but lets make reasonable statements.
CAPS or no caps, you could put a comatose guy in an Ferrari Enzo and he wouldn't beat a shopping cart. So your statement of beating anything (let alone an SRT) with a Civic is moot.

There's a reason why the SRT's cost so much more than the R/T's. If they were that close in performance, they'd be close in price as well. AND there'd be no point in having the different trim levels if "two or three mods" bring them equal". Actually, it would give me cause to wonder why the SRT engineers didn't just add those mods to the R/T and call it an SRT.
The SRT is MUCH more than just .4 quicker in the 1/4 mile. Compare ALL of the stats/numbers if you're looking to represent a fair comparison. Compare cornering, steering, braking, ......everything. To make a "blanket comparison" based only on 1/4 mile times is wildly inaccurate.

I'm NOT slamming the R/T. It's a GREAT package - which is why my wife has an R/T Charger. They're a great value and perform extremely well. But making statements like "the srt is faster by a few tenths ... that is about it ..." is a gross mis-/under statement.

Lets play fair.

And PLEASE don't insult my intelligence or talk down to me ("some people won't get it").
You seem to make a habit of posting grossly inaccurate generalizations.
