i have to agree

 

[wake_rider]

neons are junk, that's the only reason I wouldn't drive one... Otherwise, congrats to dodge for coming up with something different.

Just wait for the SRT-6.

Or you could just buy an Acura RSX Type S with 200hp, 6 gears, for around 20K, spend a little bit on a turbo, and your whipin this Mopar POS, just like a WRX STi, with 300hp off the assembly line, would do.

a turbo, all wheel drive eclipse couldnt hold a SRT-4....i would try racing him. imo i think it would be pretty fair... ::shrugs::

An Acura RSX Type S would so get destroyed by an SRT-4. 5.8 seconds to a Type S 6.7?

Hahaha.

Ha, I have nothing against domestics. I've been service manager for a while at a good sized automotive repair facility. And the good old 350s, 302s and many Buicks have been great (as long as their owners take car of them of course). It's the smaller displacement engines that PISS me off. Im sick of telling good customers that they need to rebuild their stupid windstar or taurus 3.8 liter... with not even 100,000 miles on it. Im sick of carvans throwing belts, getting seized tensioners and pulleys, blowing oil seals all over the fuqen place. Oh and Neons, i dont know where to begin. You shouldnt have to re-engineer an alternator mount on a car thats been in production for quite a few years now. And Suburbans! holy shite!!! Of course a lot of people are going to use suburbans for towing, but what GM wont tell you is that your radiator cant handle the excess thermal pressures and will blow within a year or two, and the fix for that? re-design the WHOLE front end. I could go on forever. Why am I an import fan? Mostly Honda and Toyota at that. I like forged crankshafts with perfect bearing clearance, not this cast iron crap. With blocks that can handle many times there rated horsepower. with superior cooling for high reving engines. And wonderfully balanced pistons, connecting rods and crankshafts. duel cam profiles to give me great gas mileage AND great performance (which MASS produced engine was the first to put out 100 hp per litre?). I like lighter cars that brakes quicker and have more nimble handling to avoid accidents. Sure more torque would be nice, but the good outweighs the bad.

Ya the V8's are reliable proven pushrod engines, but cmon, lets get some better technology in there that stays reliable. Lets get some dual cam profiles, some forged crankshafts, some stronger shot blocks, some multi valve heads with proper hardware that doesnt bind up, lets get some gaskets that dont leak oil every few thousand miles, lets get some better designed head flow, ignition systems that dont burn out after a bad rainstorm, some pulley bearings that doent seize up prematurely and throw belts.

Wow that's a long rant. I'm going to bed.

Ive always known some domestics to not be reliable, but thats the first time Ive actually read reasons. That right there pretty much add on to the fact that I will never buy a domestic. This isnt the average "dOmeSTIcs sUcks Ass!!!11!" point of view here, its the "long term investment" point of view. I want something that will last, point blank and simple.

And I see the point of a srt-4 costing less than a STi...but throwing in "a little over a thousand" and having a srt-4 beating a STi....no.

the rsx alone would be more than the srt4 and then to boost it would be another couple thou. and then it sure as hell wouldnt be under factory warranty or any more reliable then the srt4

sorry to say it but the srt4 is the closest thing on the market to a dsm.

Or you could buy a 5th gen hatch, full coilovers and a b18c5 complete swap for around $10,000 and have a nice car with a superior suspension, that has a normally aspirated 1.8L and will run 13s

or buy a 90 camaro for a grand and build that thing and be in it under $6k and smoke your civic..... WARRANTY all under factory warranty with the srt-4. you can buy sh@t loads of upgrades for it from the factory and all of it is completely under factory warranty. and have it all bundled with your original loan and POOF... if it blows up, cracks a blocks, throws every rod, etc, etc, it's all under factory warranty. it doesnt matter if you stand out in the parking lot of the dealership and hold the gas down till the top end blows off... it's all covered and the turbo in it is a proven reliable mitsubishi turbo

99 think

 

[$lick Rick]

yeah 99 =[ the 3rd gen they lost the 4cyl turbo and awd. their new v6 is slower, has less hp, and gets worse gas mileage..... and looks like sh@t WTF WERE THEY THINKING???

the sales for the 3rd gen were decent but their target buyer (teens to late 20's) didnt have the money or the insurace costs to afford one. the 3rd gen is targeted at an older market with customers that can actually afford them.

sick sad mitsu =[

my friends gsx was fast but there's no way we could touch the srt4's 14.2 bone stock 1/4mile.

 

[AFP520]

i want a 1st gen gs turbo or gsx.. now those i love

 

[SeanMc300]

^^ hell no you dont want a gs turbo....if you do this youll end up with a turbo neon motor. you mean a gst??
