I drove one when they first came out, and was pretty impressed for a stock setup. For the price and power you really cant complain. Me personally I'd never buy a SRT4 because it really is just a hopped up neon, and it has all the cheeze dick characterstics of one too. 4 doors, gayass interior, and that of so ever great slushy steer from a typical american sport compact. Unlike hondas and most other jap cars, double wishbone is the better way to go. It provides more predictibility, provide a better overall grip and give a better balance between ride and comfort.

I say buy a crx and dump 10 grand into it

I drove one a little while ago. It was nice, but I would reather go higher in price to an STi or an Evo, or go lower with a civic and spend the money to build it up. This is the wrong forum to try to find someone on dodge's dick. It's HMT, we like to work on our cars.

you know what I mean, I meant more specifically stock turbo cars that ppl buy and then act like tough ---- and never touch the engine.

Interestin=g that you would say that since chrysler is releasing a new lightweight SRT-4 - That is the one that ran 11.9 in the mag. Lots of Carbon fiber and a stripped interior even the door handles are shaved and they took off the big goofy wing. IT weighs in at about 2500lbs.

The boost falls off but all you need to do is change the wastegate for about $80 or do a ghetto spring mod and you get 15psi all the way to redline. This is a video of the lightweight SRT-4 with the Mopar Stage 3 Kit. Est HP is 368whp and 400wtq. The one he is racing is no slouch. They were only launching a 2000rpm!

that was 11.79 @120

Neons can't handle? I don't get that one...maybe not a base model but my 99 r/t came with Koni's, Front(21") and rear(19") swaybars. 18:1 steering.200lb springs and they .86g's on the skidpad. Probably better with a little wider tire. They even had a very good showing in Showroom stock for the ACR. Only the Miata gave them a run from 1994-1997.

All bow down to my Factory Domestic Rice

I was gonna say the same thing but i thought people would get mad. No matter if you guys like it or not Neons and Civics are practically aimed for the same crowd and to accomplish the same thing. One is domestic and one is jap.....I think everyones *** is just hurting because Honda hasn't came out with a factory turbo car. I think for 20gs they hook you up nicely....except for the no rear power window thing...what the ---- is that?!

Why doesn't Honda make a stock turbo car?? It woud be nice to have a car a little more affordable that the S2000.

Why would honda do that?
They sell enough cars right now.. They see no point in trying to compete in that catagory.
