You watch too much T.V. I saw that episode of Engineering Disasters too :P

come on now, don't test a guy named "researcher" ;)

SRT-4 = 230Hp outta the box
Yeah, yeah, the neon chassis sucks blah blah blah...
But make no mistake, that 2.4L turbo 4 OWNZ
For $20Gs ($28Gs Canadian) you cannot buy a faster brand new car.
A better built car? Yes!
A stronger motor? No!
They even have Factory upgrades!
Still a Neon, so not for me!
Now if Honda offered a factory turbo K20/K24 civic... ;D

that guy must suck at driving.. you kept up within 3 cars??? so with everything you have, you run ~15.0? those things are suppose to run 14.0 if not i've seen 13.9 stock. i'm guessing he was a shitty driver like the one i saw at rockfalls raceway last summer, he ------- got a blue srt-4 and ran at BEST a 15.2
or maybe im just that damn good....hahaha :P

I agree that 95-96s were pretty crappy. Paint chipping(in certin colors) and the paper headgaskets owned the neon name. I have had my 97 for 2 years and it has been great to me.

I just wanted to see peoples opinions. Lots of people make up their mind with out knowing facts..

Stock 2004 srt's run high 13s. They have better tires, LSD, and injectors and a better ecu.

Gee i wonder why the neon srt4 is only 20gs?
Probably couse its built with shitty parts.
Or maby they know that they will make money from all the factory replacement parts youll have to buy to keep it running.

I rather rock an n/a honda annyday!

350z sucks and would lose to an srt4
My friends has a 350z and its actually a pretty nice car. i doubt that the srt-4 would lose to an srt-4. By the numbers the two seem pretty equal. Even if the srt-4 was quciker i doubt it would beat the z by a car length. I pick a z over a neon anyday.

But my other choice was to race the neon with the sti ;)

Im not sure which car your talking about but just becuase the car is boosting 16 pounds doesn't mean it can beat the car. The horsepower numbers are lower than a 350z. And it does not have a 1 year warranty buddy.

Re:Owned by srt-4
 
i was talking about the neon having that much boost since obviously the 350z isnt boosted...and i just heard it had a 1 year warrenty...yeah and the the 350 is pretty dope...and hp doesnt really matter if your car weighs a grip right....so id say power to weight is what really matters
