Welcome! I considered both cars. But the 04s werent out when I was considering the SRT-4.
What can I say. I test drove both of them and I loved the power of the SRT-4...and thats pretty much it. Mazda pretty much made my decision for me by giving almost $2500 in rebates and $600 more on my trade in. Its all preference. If you like strightline fast and easy upgrades get the SRT-4. If youre into a well balanced car with amazing handeling...get the MSP. There are a couple of members who have owned both so maybe they can give you some info (Low J? and AZspeed?).
Here are the things that got me to take the MSP:
1) $$$ it was way cheaper
2) looks...it definately turns heads because you dont see alot of them. I hate the infamous Neon Wheel gap.
3) nice interior. The SRT-4 interior didnt cut it for me. I loved the seat and the gauges/dash. But it felt high and jacked up to me for some reason. And I kinda got annoyed by the shifter in 1st gear.
4) the 03s didnt have LSDs...annoying when you have that much power.
5) handeling was amazing...I've own only RWD cars in the past and this doesnt even compare to my bros Golf. Im all about handeling.
6) I loved all the little goodies taht the MSP came with, Kenwood, Racingheart, racing beat, tokico, garrett, Bridgestone 215s RE04s, sparco (in 03s)
Both are good cars and I would suggest test driving them...I know dodge made some improvements on the 04 SRT-4s. As for look...SRT-4 looks beautiful from the front...then it gets kinda lame in the back with the wheel gap and supra/DSM wing.
