http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/ro.../012scc_dodge/ As for the inside rear tire lifting.... this happens all the time on almost any FWD pushing it to the limit. VWs, Neons, Hondas, any FWD'r will pull that wheel if it's being run hard. It isn't necessarily bad, it puts more force on that outside tire. Quote:

They're different cars. The SRT4 is cheap and fast, but it does it's share of corner cutting. Obviously the WRX is a 'nicer' car, and it'd be a much more comfy daily driver. - Rob |

If that is the same race I've seen before I think the SRT4 is boosting 19 PSI and the guy who did it got the things for the job at Home Depot. Now I'm not making any excuses for the WRX it lost but hey put some snow on the ground and it becomes a differnet sotry. I'm not gonna trash the SRT4 either its a fast car , its cheap but when you put the two together.....I'll just watch it.

i think that everyone should just take it for waht it is. a race on tape, with an srt4 winning.

Or take it like this: Both cars are cheap, fast, and easily available, which is more than we could say in the early 90s.

I don't think anything is wrong with these kinds of posts. I like most stuff that has to do with cars... especially cool ones. This has actual media of racing. I give that a big thumbs up... love seein' it. Oh, and Rob, just for you: "Pfft, that is old. I saw it like, forever ago, when it was first posted on the Neon forum. Still cool, though." Just thought you'd like that one, dude.
I think my question, like Harry's, is about if they have any mods. On paper, I would assume a SRT-4 to take a WRX, stock for stock. However, the Neon seemed like an auto and the WRX a manual... loosing a little ground pretty much only on the shift. I also think the WRX would have pulled ahead if given more time. It looked to start catching up in the higher rpms in each gear. Now, we need a turbo 5/6 speed SVX to race a SRT-4 and WRX.

If not, I know a daily driven Neon ACR that might want to run him. Did I mention it runs 11s? :P - Rob |

Neon? Argon!
I have about four different magazines that tested the SRT-4 against all the rest, and the Neon came out on top each time.
(GTI...SER-SpecV...V6 Tiberon...MiniCooper....Mazaspeed Protege...SVT Focus...etc.) It wasn't just the power advantage...it had the best tranny and the handling was within an eyelash of the best of the rest. Of course the hp rating is so close to the WRX that it was easy to think of comparisons, but I haven't heard of a head-to-head matchup in any of the magazines yet. One speculated that it would depend more upon the driver than the car. If the car can prove to be in any degree reliable, it has to be the best bang-for-the-buck out there..... But wait, there is more. Running around out in the western desert is a not-to-secret V6 Duratec (Cosworth) SVT Focus. Don 2100 posts!!!

re: spoke to a member of the imprezza club
ok i spoke to a member of the imprezza club here in atlanta. apparently a race has already taken place. both similiar in mods or stock. whichever way you want to take it. actually the neon and the wrx group intermingle a little here. from a dead stop launch, the wrx beats the srt-4. from rolling 20mph, the neon owns. race was done many times. apparently the neon pulls more in 2nd gear than the wrx. i don't know much about cars so i can't explain it like they can, but that's the general description.

In the latest Road and Track magazine,they did a comparism and the SRT-4 edges out the WRX slightly. I think the SRT-4 is pretty impressive for its price.
