500 h.p. srt-4 *video*

impressive, but the video could have been better if: a. there wasn't a wigger in the back round asking stupid questions b. they weren't playing some gay techno so that we could actually hear the engine c. if there was something other than a taurus trying to keep up with it at the end.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

i'd like to see them dyno it again without spraying the cold nitrous or oxygen or whatever on the fmic, then lets see some real street numbers

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

its still a neon ???

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I second that.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

yeah, that's how i felt about them for a long time, but they're actually starting to grow on me a little. if i was going to buy a new car for 20k i would get one :-\ don't flame cause i use to hate them too, but i've seen a lot of them around with some minor mods (bov, exhaust, etc.) and they sound and perform pretty damn impressive.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I disagree, I don't even put the srt-4 and the neon in the same boat. Hell even on dodge's website they dont say neon then srt-4 they just have you chooose srt-4

Oh well not everyone will like it but I think it looks alright.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

hell, you think your sunflower looks alright ;D ;)

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

lol projekteg i was thinking the same thing... I was going to say "comming from a guy who has a sunfire though...." lol


Anyways I watched the vid and yes it could have been more impressive but I see one big problem. That race with the taurus I think they sped it up...look at that black bird or bag or whatever it is, its moving way too fast IMO.

Thats not cool if I'm right...not cool at all

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I must admit, the SRT-4's are actually pretty damn impressive... I'm only curious to know when people will start saying it isnt realiable and breaks down...? But if they dont say that after 3-4 years then its a good car! haha =)

But with 20k or so I'd add a couple more and up it to the EVO or STi. That SRT-4 will get spanked all day long against AWD.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

a couple more? have you checked the prices of wrx's and evo's? try about 10k more, which is technically a whole nother car :-\

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

When you go to dodge and ask for a brochure/pamplet on the Neon, guess what.. SRT-4 is in there ::)

Ya know, if they would have started with a different chasis, and something that didnt look like a ------- neon, it would have been better. But I've drove a couple of them, and I was semi impressed. I dont like 4doors, and I really didnt like the cheese dick interior.

As far as this video.. 500whp, thats pretty impressive on any 4cyl reguardless, I'm just assuming.. but in the video they were saying something about the clutch, hope its not stock, lol..

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

did you guys here the wigger in the beginning of the vid? "how much does one of those cost?" "is that the biggest one you can buy for this car?"

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I'm just saying IF I was going to get a NEW car and was going to go 20k I'd just go all the way to the STi and the EVO's rather than stopping at the SRT-4 (besides I'm not a big fan of cars from American companies... my personal opinion)

A couple is adding 10g or even 15g but you know once you past 15g, its all "NUMB" to you anyways haha =)

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

what bag or bird? I didn't see it? I wanted to see what the monitor said in the backround. and maybe it is just me, but for 500HP I thought the car should have jumped a little more on the dyno when he let off?

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

its true. Dodge doesn't label the srt-4 as a neon. It looks like a neon but on there site its in a diffrent category. It might be fast for cheap but I always seen neons as a girls car. :-\ Just because its fast doesn't mean you have to get it.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

actually, dodged ditched the entire NEON name, its called the SX2.0 now ;)

and didnt the srt-4 beat the evo and wrx (non-sti) in comparision tests?

or am I wrong?

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

what comparison test?

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I just droped off a company truck at the dealer and why I was waiting for the shuttle I noticed they had a silver SRT 4 in the showroom. It was the first time I seen the car in person and I thought it looked pretty good for a four door car. The only thing I would do to it would be lower it.

Really though whats not to like about this car? is it the turbo, straight through exhaust, front mount IC, or the 223 wheel horse power. Some don't like it because it's a four door but then the same people say they love the Sti or the new EVO.

I myself drive a civic and an MR2 and admit I'm not a big fan of Dodge but have to tip my hat to them for building such a car, a car that would smoke the new Si or Celica

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I'll have to say that the motor is impresive, but I really think they should have made a different car to put it in. They lose so many potential buyers putting it in a neon.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

id drive one.............off a cliff. its an alright car i guess. but i have seen alot of kids drivin them around like there the baddest mofos around.....i got somethin for em

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

Supposively at a 15mph start the srt-4 is supposed to be able to take an evo and a sti :o

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

Yes, the NEON SRT-4 depending on drivers could take an evo. My brother-in-law did, from a roll start of course, not by much but he did. A couple of times, now off the line the evo or STi will own it. Also his NEON had both NEON ans SRT-4 badges on the trunk, so I don't know where you guy have been looking. And the sx2.0 crap is not the srt-4 is another different neon model. The srt-4 is a 2.4 not a 2.0, all the other neons, have a 2.0 4 cyl. They are just trying to convince people they are 2 different cars, and they are, inside and under all that metal, except for the shape of the car, of course with different bumpers and hood

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

i hate neons too but i do give props for being cheap with decent factory hp specs. i just raced one the other day, he had a stage 1 upgrade he said (which is bigger injectors, chipped ecu, k&n filter, and some other ----). he got me off the line cuz i spin like a mofo but i was MAD pulling on top end!!! they are pretty quick though...cant be mad at them...

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

too much wheel spin when you punch it. not reaqlly that much in a wrx.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

who owns mitsubishi? techincaly its an american car company :p

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

yeah, mitsubishi and dodge used to be formed together right? i'm sure of it cuz my pops has a dodge colt with a mitsubishi engine ::)

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

That NEON was gay, it was even the ricey yellow. Lame. But the 500 hp is impressive. I'd like to see some real action, like drving it into a wall :P. Or if not that at least some drag runs.

But in the end I'm still scared of them NEON srt-4's.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I liked to look of that car, but I don't like how the older neons looked.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

You guys are silly - I have a first gen r/t and I think it looks pretty nice as a 2 door but whatever. Everybody thinks their car is the best. I bought the car when it was new pretty much loaded for $12,500 it has a 3.94 end ratio tranny, 150hp, koni adjustable struts(dealer added from the ACR), cams, upgraded computers, headers, iceman intake, and pretty much everything else you want from the dealer cheap. I know it is a little ricy coming from the factory with stripes. but I ran a 15.9 stock there isn't a whole lot out there that will do that for that price. The replacement for the neon in 2005 or 2006 will be a shared platform with the lancer.

BTW: that is only one of quite a few 11 second SRT-4's and it has the stock clutch and bottom end.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

I'm impressed with the numbers, but not the car. I'm not a Neon/Expresso/Breeze fan(they are all the same ------- car). We can have our opinions, right? :-\

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

The SRT-4 is a motor looking for a car. Sport Compact Car did a technical breakdown on the 2.4L block, lemme tell you this motor was born to BOOST! :o

The Dodge boys overbuilt everything because they didn't get enough R&D time and money to really work everything out. The only downside to this motor is that it is a little on the heavy side.

If Dodge were to sell this motor as a crate...WOW ;D

As for the car/chassis, what a POS! What f**king beancounter decided that we can afford to put power windows for the two front ones but not the rears? Talk about capital GAY!

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

yum

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

Is that a typo? A 15.9? Kinda weak if you ask me.

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

not an srt-4 a 99 r/t - at the time the closest thing that honda made(for $6000 more) was the SI. are you confused?

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

its still a civic :/

Re:500 h.p. srt-4 *video*
 

Its ok johnny, when my little civic lays down more horsepower and throws down a better ET than you dads trashed up camaro dont have a funny look on your face... Because just remember, it is just a civic.

Oh sorry for getting off thread subject like you did.. ::)
