why is it that people with srt-4's think that they are the best things out there? Just a question not trying to be a dick.

Nice death, and good sighting. I've never even been around a TII, not to mention one with a 20B.

I dislike and would never buy an srt4...ever...but for $20,000 brand new can you show me a better performance bargain?

I don't know about their handling, but they are definitely pretty quick for a stock car and have lots of potential....

Performance? It can only go straight.

I'seen quite a few FWD cars do the brick wall plow when trying to take a turn at the speed the car can generate.

SRT-4 = the best FWD out there, and prolly the best for the next 3-5 years.
Great bargin, and a killer car. Handels really well ( yes they do! even thought they are FWD) .
The are winning rallys all around, and, If I wasn't inlove with my FC, ( and I had an extra 20K$ sitting around) I would get one!

Heh heh any ways... oh wait, when I do get 20k I am going to be 'droping' in a 20B... OMG I have been dreaming of it ant it prolly wont happen in the longest time..
oh, but u could prolly drop a 20B in your SRT-4 and call it an SRT-20B heh heh =D

Yea, but can you get stage 2 upgrades & over 350hp under warranty with a WRX STi. The only problem is that they don't lease Sti's, Evo's, & Srt-4's cause they now when you buy one that your gonna beat on them.

don't worry most of the tards in the kills section are well...tards. Most haven't prolly seen them on the track before. They are good track cars. the high CG kinda sucks though but overall great car. They aren't placed in fast classes in road racing for no reason.

which is exactly what i did. the numbers are a few tenths lower, but a cobb exhaust and computer tune will take care of that no sweat.

i have seen srt-4s absolutely smoked on track by wrx's and STI's, not to mention miatas (- the straights)

SRT-4's are no joke. They are fast and can easily be made very fast.

How many times is this retarded discussion going to come up. Nobody is arguing that there not fast. However, nothing you do to a neon is going to make it a "cool" car. You can make it 1000 hp its still going to be an ugly **** box.

SRT-4 motor can handle a good 600hp or so. It's a complete beast as far as 4 bangers go--far superior to a 6 bolt 4g63 (stock for stock). I'd like to see Chrysler put it into a more sporty RWD or AWD platform.
