having an opinion and blindly posting BS are two different things.Setheroo said:
I have an opinion. I don't like SRTs. I think they are ugly and I'd never own one. but to use this to try to act like it doesn't have good performance value would be stupid. that is what you did.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion of course, even if it sucks.

OJZ, actually everything he posted was pretty much accurate.
Not to mention I'm gonna toss my thing in here and say that the build quality and materials and fit n finish of the car is atrocious. Faster than my car or not, I wouldn't be caught dead in it.
- Unreliable Engine (Um duh, its a tuned American NEON engine)
- Its ugly (no arguments here-thats an opinion in the eye of the beholder)
- Useless boy racer touches (that huge wing won't help you at all, especially over the wrong wheels)
- Buying a new car on a loan is getting yourself in debt, but for some people thats ok. But IMO it doesn't make sense on any American car cuz of the huge depreciation
- The cars blow. I agree. But he qualified it with "overall opinion".

i had to put the word "average" in there..cause there are the select few that actually take care of their motor and/or build it correctly to avoid such UNreliability.

Why does everyone say wing and how it's over the wrong wheels...
mkIII with a wing, how exactly does that help? Who drives fast enough for it to make a difference?
IMO, The worste part about the Neon wing is having it in the rear view mirror.
This will be just like people and mkIV's, they can't afford one so they'll bag on it.

Fact check, I'm not really sure, the only good info I'm coming up with is from Wikipedia, but it looks like the engine as actually based loosely off the K-car engines with "similar" head designs to the Orion and Sirius Mitsubishi engines.Johnny Dangerously said:
However in 05 they were supposed to be phased out for engines designed jointly by DCX, Mitsu, & Hyundai. Iono if that happened or not.
Either way, I've never thought of Mitsubishi as particularly stellar cars either, so....
2 points on the wing:mkiiSupraMan18 said:
1. You're right, you never will drive fast enough for it to make a difference. On the SRT-4 its huge to make a statement, which happens to be very boy-racer esque. If you WERE to drive fast enough for it to matter on the Neo...I mean SRT-4, then it would not be helping a whole lot, it would need a good chin spoiler as well.
2. I've never driven fast enough to think I need it, but I have nothing against wings, its just the idea that its putting the downforce on the back wheels, which are really just there to support your car if you have FWD, so its kinda pointless. Also, I have no trouble with wings on a FWD car if they're not SO huge and attention-drawing.
I don't bag on MkIV's, I love them, and if I could afford one I'd get it.
However, I could afford an SRT-4, but like I said, would not be caught dead in it.

Just for your and everyone else's info the rear spoiler on the MKIII is there to help improve the coefficient of drag, not for downforce.
This whole topic is stupid. Im a turbo dodge fan, i love Turbo Omni's, Spirit R/T's and i even like the new neon srt'4s dodge has never made a atractive turbo car, and probably never will. They are go fast cars...... and a stock srt4 would kill over half the the supra's on this forum.
and saying that they are 20k cars isnt realistic you can get one for 12-15k now.

SRT-4's lose all reliability when you mod them extensivley, they look like shit and look even worse when you put any kind of ground effects on them, they are still POS Neons, and after 4 or 5 years they are junk since Dodge built them and we all know Dodge = Bad Trannies & Eletrical problems.
in 15 years from now people will look back and say damn thats a sleeper. Just like the spirit r/t. ppl shunned them when they came out, and now people think they are neat. so w/e....
of course it's a piece of shit, it's a $20k car brand new, with a turbo slapped on..
what are you expecting, an aston martin..?!?
the point of the car is to be fast and cheap, and it is, in both cases...

On a more serious note, most are faster than 60% of supras here. But whatever. Its a POS torque steering pig.
