"SRT-4: Its the fastest"

I know a guy up here with a SRT4 and I wasn't that impressed with it. When he raced it he ran slower than my car did with a slipping clutch that would barely go anywhere. I know they can be modded to be nice cars, but stock they don't impress me.

They break axles from wheel hop, just like hondas...a lot of fwd cars have problems with hop, especially launching on drag radials...hence why aftermarket traction bars are a must for honduhs. Later model srt4's have an LSD in addition to the equal length halfshafts to help reduce wheel hop, so big thumbs up there to dodge.
I agree that the srt4 isn't a drag car, and that's why I poke fun at my friend about it. The SRT4 belongs on a road course or a parking lot autox event, IMO.
I drove one before.. traction limited for sure.. stock they spin in 1st.. lol.. had a stock ct 7m type pull.. torque and then it was flat.. they can be made decently quick i guess, but again its fwd..
There's a guy here locally that runs in the sevens with a SRT4. It's got full blown slicks on it and alot of upgrades. It always sounds like it's going to blow up to me when he races it, but it never does. It's got a black carbon fibre Jack Daniels hood on it. Pretty good looking car, but it's still a neon.
Blux, “why is it the fastest?”
Dealer says, “it’s a newly design v6 engine with a TURBO CHARGER!”
Blux, “hmm I thought it was a 4 cylinder but hey it’s the fastest I’ll take it”
LOL a v6
ROFLMAO now thats commedy:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
(an ex-friend just called and told me that another ex-friend just totaled his SRT-4 last nite so im laughin up a storm and im gunna get some pics:evil2: )

LOL that was hilarious.... SRT-4 is okay, but I have a Supra. My friend Josh has a 470whp+ srt-4. He's also on his 2nd engine though,(threw a rod) I'm not sure what size turbo he is running in it now. I haven't seen it in awhile. He drag races here not sure of the e/t though. It's a quick car to say the least.
I just think to myself "FWDFTL"
Haha, I remember last year at the race track, all of the SRT-4 owners complained to the track officials who were announcing the cars as Neons when staging. "We're sorry to all of the SRT owners. It's not a Neon......"
It's still a Neon.

20k? + money for mods?
How many actually OWN their car, and not renting it from the bank?
Just a neon on crack is all that car is, they really aren't dependable engines. Chrysler hasn't done very many things right as far as mechanical designs go. They sell looks, nothing else. They have proven to be able to sell cars to people before ever taking a test drive... I am talking about the PT Cruiser. The GT version has the SRT engine. IMO the engines are junk. The engine is sold based on the horsepower - but you never hear a word about how much torque it has.
The SRT4 is ugly, and nothing matches up on that car. So they give it this humongus spoiler, what the crap for? It is a FWD vehicle, spoilers are made to provide downforce for the REAR wheels, not the front... but the very truth of it, aerodynamics do not kick in til your doing 150+mph.. thats been proven. Then you got that sweet hood scoop.... man, that counts for major horsepower gains. So lets go all out, and get a carbon fiber hood, so we can get some more horsepower!
Its ridiculous how many college students own these cars. Their parents do not know any better, they see it as a neon that their son happens to be in love with. If it isn't their parents paying for it, its borrowed money... and they got it all setup on a lovely payment plan where they end up having to pay like 4 grand more in the long run, for a car thats real value is probably only twice that.
One with low miles you can pick up for 15-18K.. get it on the lovely payment plan, your looking at 18 -21K.. by the time they are onto their next car they get a trade in of maybe 8K if they are lucky. Thats just stupid math for you guys, I don't envy the kids with the sweet rides, or the kids that think that they have sweet rides... I buy older vehicles, and turn them into what I want them to be... and build them to outperform the vehicles that cost more than what mine ever did.
Overall opinion.. those cars blow, and the people that drive them = have small weiners. (got that from someones signature with a Porsche on it, I thought it was cool)

sounds like someone is jealous...
what i dont understand is why people feel the need to hate on other peoples stuff. most of the time people buy things because its something THEY like.
whats your gripe with someone ELSES car? ego trips are one thing, but you know what? with enough money you can make anything fast so these arguments and bashing really are worthless.

that said, I bet the average SRT4 would hand your supra it's ass on a silver platter.
Hell, even a normal Neon would probably give you some competion in your NA.
