Drove an SRT-4 the other day...

Re:Drove an SRT-4 the other day...
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.

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

They sell enough cars right now.. They see no point in trying to compete in that catagory.
