S2000 receivng the complimentary chrysler passing gear from an SRT-4. I like a lot.

video sucks, and I will definately put my money on a stock S2G over a stock SRT-4.

 

[scottyfordy]

Stock they're pretty much equal cars, except the SRT-4 costs 12,000 less.

I'd take 400 of that 12,000 and install a next stage turbo. Now you can rape the S2000. Then I'd take the remaining 11,600 and do mods, then I can rape a lot more.

Chrysler owns Mitsubishi. Technology is all the same. Early Dodge turbo's were designed in part by Lotus. "Mitsubishi" makes a lot of engines for Chrysler, like the 3.0 in my car. They make the best turbo's in the world and have the most expierence.

^^^ yea i'm with you on this way scottyfordy. How much exactly is a new SRT-4. I thought they were pretty expensive.

HAHHAA BS!!! Ask anybody that boosts and they'll tell you that Mitsu has the work turbines ever....the best???? PLEASE...have you never heard of Garret, Turbonetics, F-max...blah blah

Make sure you know wut your talking about before you say it...

^^^dont forget ihi..personally they make some of the best smaller turbos outthere. dotn start the s**t with like. "with the difference in price id buy this blah blah blah" that s**t is wack. its like saying ill buy a skyline for 80K but i could buy a 91 eclipse gsx and mod it for alot less!!! i guarentee that the s2000 will rape that f**kin shitter in a road course any day. gee it was weird that they didnt show the start...which could of have had the neon get a head start...you never know. maybe that guy in the s2000 and the srt 4 palnned it....it could be staged. ill never believe ANY street video. WAAAAAAAAAY too many variables to be considered.

My best friend was a Chrysler tech for 5 years before he got his current job w/ Honda- he says that Dodge= $h!t and that the tools he used most were his heat wrench aka his blow torch and a stehoscope

it may be but they could of done a better set up i could put a cheap ass turbo in my car. this doesnt mean i could beat a s2000 and it doesnt seem that the s2000 was pulling hard

hey, neons can be fast. friend of mine has a 99 neon r/t..it can whoop on 00 si's and cost a s**t load less. the srt-4 can beat SO many cars in that price range as well as higher

 

[rey_boricua]

i pretty sure it probably can beat an Si. look at that weight of the neon 2470 as compared to the si's 26xx. then you have hp and tq figures. neon 150hp & 133lbs/tq vs si's 160hp and 111lbs/tq. power to weight ratio you do the math

 

[caddy]

A fast neon. Remember: You can teach a pig to dance, but in the end, YOUR STILL DANCING WITH A PIG!!!!

BULL SHI* IT CAN!!! I am sorry but your friend does not know how to race his SI . I ve raced 4 of them in the past at the track with my 00 ex intake, exhaust and never lost. In fact my car has even yanked on them on the highway.

 

[scottyfordy]

A Neon R/T runs 0-60s in 7.5 seconds, which is reasonable for the cost.

2004 - 2004 model comparison.

Let's compare the SRT-4 with the S2000. If you care, the SRT-4 gets better gas milage and has more cargo capacity. The S2000 has a shorter turning circle, better handling, and better aerodynamics (though Honda hasn't published the S2000s aerodynamics, it's obvious better). The SRT-4 is a 2.4 turbo, making a ton of torque 2000-4000. The S2000 is a 2.2 with a revised form of VTEC, it makes almost 100 lbs of torque less than the SRT-4 at at a high 6500, but revs really high - so technically you could consider that "low". Both cars weigh the exact same pratically too, with the S2000 weighing some 15 lbs extra only.

Two extra major differences are that the Honda makes 10 more HP than the Dodge, and the SRT is FWD while the S2000 is RWD.

The S2000 has great performance for a standard 2.2 DOHC without a doubt, but is simply at a loss to the performance - price ratio the SRT-4 offers.
