Actually, I think Todd is giving some of the least biased input on this thread. And he's not really wasting his time arguing with people like me who just admit that I=biased.

Seriously, though, if I were going to trade in my hatchie, it would be for a Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata. Not an SRT-4.

by no means am i saying that the srt4 is the end all of all cars... it's far far far far from it... but it's a good deal cost wise for the speed you get, and so far there hasnt been any problems with them as a whole..... but people hating on them just because it's a dodge are no better then all the import haters out there

 

[civicracer97hx]

Too many in this thread can't open up to the fact that a neon is faster for the money, handles just as well, and costs about the same. Quality has gone up a tremendous amount as well.

Just because it's a domestic doesn't mean it can't be just as good or better than an import.

I'm not hating on it cause it's a dodge. I'm hating on it for a much more specific reason... It's a dodge NEON. Yeah, it's fast as hell, yeah for the price you get a ton of performance. But you must admit, the Neons didn't have a very flattering or trust inspiring production run. Honestly, if 6 years from now no strange problems come up, I'll do a complete 180 on my SRT opinion.

I'm not worried about the fact that it's a Dodge. I just know the history of the Neon. Dodge has been improving since 2001, but I think that these improvements still need the test of time.

The srt is a great car, dont get me wrong. But as fast as it is, at the end of the day it's still a NEON.

And you're still just driving a CIVIC

i've said it before and i'll say it another thousand times i'm sure
but saying that the srt4 is just another neon is like saying that the evoVIII is just another lancer... they have about the same amount in common

 

[spikestone]

dude they were racing a like 1985 hatchback that had a crappy exhaust thats all. I could beat one running. Let them take on a newer civic same year as their crappy neon. NEON's can lick my ass.

 

[civicracer97hx]

Who Runs 18's Doyou Todd?

 

[stealthsi009]

duh.. but the srt-4 isn't a neon.. it just looks like a neon

i'd trade my civ for an srt-4

mang you bite your tonge hard, how could you say that. It's a neon domestic that uses a mitsubishi turbo. They don't even have their own turbo.........you must not be feeling right thats it right?

that's because mitsubishi makes a kickass turbo. the stage 3 upgrade kit from mopar even uses the the turbo/manifold out of the evo VI. alot of companies and cars use mitsu turbo's.. like all greddy kits use mitsu turbos also

Then there's the big one: stage3. the big important part of stage 3, of course, is the turbo. since the turbo, wastegate, exhaust manifold and downpipe are all one casting, stage 3 gets to upgrade all of them. the turbo itself is a mitsubishi 15g-k2, the same turbo that came stock in the lancer evo VI, but without the evo's divided exhaust housing. the evo VI, for the record, had the biggest turbo of any stock EVO. the turbo still uses conventional sleeve bearings, but has an exotic, lightweight titanium aluminide turbine wheel for quicker spool up. the downpipe casting is much larger, and the area around the wastegate has been opened up for less disruptive merging of the two exhaust flows. so, still embarrassed to be seen driving a neon?

First of all, an srt-4 is a neon. Is a cobra not a mustang?

Of course it's a Neon...unless you are at the Dodge dealership. The salespeople will swear that it's not. Must have had an internal memo at Daimler Chrysler about that.
