2 SRT4s
Found 2 srt4s zigzagging through traffice today on my way to work. I stayed behind them for a while until I was sure they noticed I was there, then I sped past them and took my exit. They seem to be pretty quick, but they're butt ugly, and they're still neons.

cheap price + Dodge + turbo = unreliable junk
maybe Mercedes will get their engineering put into the Neon in the coming years and it will improve, but i doubt it.

Yea, there is one here in Beaufort, SC... Guy thinks he is the **** or something... He won't tell anyone what he runs in the Quarter... I just walk up to him and tell him that his car is a peice of ****... He knows me really well... I am the founder of the club that gives him the most hell in Beaufort... There are three of us in my club, 2 MY02 WRX's heavely modded, and my 2003 WRX driven SVX... We are the **** and the only Subaru Club in the area... SRT-4's don't stand a chance with either of the WRX's, especially Aaron's 380hp RedWagon!!!!

the question is how much boost can they hold,, and reliability issues.
and still FWD usless, but again u are paying 19,000 u get what u pay for, they are good bang for the buck cars,

The next line of srt's are going to have a larger turbo and awd. this is what the guy at dodge said. then one of his buddies came out and looked at my X. he used to sell them he said. i wonder why he works there.....

let's see how many SRT4's make it past 150,000 miles. an SRT4 would destroy the SVX, but too bad the SVX wasn't designed to be a drag racer. the SVX will destroy it in the snow. :P let's not compare apples to oranges.

nobody in the official racing communities up here respect the neon or its drivers. its for kids who work and eat at mcdonalds.
sure you can slap better equipment on it but the engine is limited and the body style is flawed. your talking about a car that is nearly maxed out in potential. what is the SVX? most of ours are stock with minimal mods. you cant really compare the two. swap in a manual gearbox and a decent turbo and the svx competes. BTW.... with the 20 degree cooler weather and the weight loss from my window, i think i can hit 14s easy. i can feel it. Nik - Stuck out in the boonies again
