thread_title:  Future Vehicles 

message: I've cleaned up the article using IP 212.116.219.163, i added a new wikitable of a summary of SRT cars, only cars which have the SRTx emblem. i suggest to add new section of history, concepts prior SRT (such as Plymouth and Team Viper) and a section for future SRTs such as 6.4 Hemi SRT8s vehicles.   A M M A R  00:14, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Clean up, Suggesting new sections 

message: I recognized that roughly half of the performance numbers, chiefly the 0-60 times, were using estimated pre-production numbers or citing flukes caused by bad testing and manufacturer tampering. ie the Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 test by Car and Driver was performed with traction control engaged which greatly lowered the performance capability of the car, no other test utilizing a professional driver by any reviewer has been able to repeat those numbers. The numbers for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 were off by a large margin as well. There has only been one test with a 0-60 time that rivals the Dodge Viper SRT-10 which is generally evidence of manufacturer tampering (here's a example of manufacturer tampering http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/112_0512_exotic_sport_coupes_comparison/dyno.html).
I corrected many of the numbers to what the vehicles are consistently capable of running stock, post-production. I believe this would aid any confusion of anyone who decided to purchase or debate any SRT vehicle. (Anthony955 (talk) 21:32, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Car Throttle is not a blog page, it is an online automotive magazine.  "...the source does not have a reputation at all in the automotive world."  If you could, please cite for all of us the location where "reputation in the automotive world" can be verified.  Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Auto Week, etc, they are not unbiased, the entire point for them is to accurately do reviews and bring those reviews to the public in a way that is both entertaining, and more importantly, factual when it comes to the actual numerical statistics about the vehicles.  One of the biggest problems with sourcing for Wikipedia is that it must be done online, using links to webpages that are constantly changing, and in some cases, disappearing altogether.  If all the reviews for the SRT-4 in 2004/2005 were still verifiable online, Wikipedia would actually be able to list the quarter mile time as 13.7, which was the fastest documented time for a reputable review.  Unfortunately, this information does not exist.  Referring to Car Throttle as a "fan boy" page, or a "biased blog", and then not providing any evidence of such really erodes your position.  The time is coming where all automotive magazines, and perhaps all magazines in general, will be online, if you follow current trends in publishing.  An opinion in an article about a vehicle is something that all reviews do, they become biased or "fan boy" when they start to provide statistics about the car that don't match up with the vehicles actual abilities.  There is nothing here to suggest that.   I have personally seen a stock SRT-4 run a 13.6 quarter mile.  That doesn't mean I can come in here and source that, even though there is video evidence of such.  We all understand that.  However, as I had already stated, when you take offense to an online article that reviews a car going 1/10th of one second faster in the quarter mile than Car And Driver reviewed the performance numbers as.  Not only that, you went out of your way to use an older Car And Driver review to post up the slowest time you could find for the car, despite there being a more recent, more accurate review.  Furthermore, you point out the importance of "referencing reputable sources" yet you have made several changes to other pages and provided no sourcing to back up your changes at all (Mercedes Benz transmission page, for instance).  That really calls into question your credibility.  There is no reason to change the performance numbers for the SRT-4 Neon.  RTShadow (talk) 17:16, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The SRT group is NOT an automotive company, no more than Ford Motor Company's  Special Vehicle Operations is a company.  Why would someone even put that in the title, versus actually spelling out what SRT means?  
To put it quite plainly, to call SRT an automotive company would be like calling Frosted Flakes a company, when in fact the company is Kelloggs, or a Big Mac its own company, when the company is McDonalds. 2600:8804:400:D9F0:6460:655A:38AE:5A36 (talk) 21:38, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
