That's a pimpin hyundia in your sig, what year is it?

[szw]

I actually had a dream the other night where some drunk driver hit me and totalled my car, then I bought an SRT-4.

[max_boost]

SRT-4 is still a Neon, still a Dodge
Well a Civic Type R is still a Civic, still a Honda!
STi is still a Impreza, still a Subaru
M3 is still a 3 series, but its a BMW!


Yah a WRX is better, but it costs almost $10K more

Do you guys have any other points besides that?

For $30K, best bang for your buck out there. 7 years, 115K km warranty, add a catback exhaust and there is another 10hp. Not to mention the car is under-rated from the factory. Also smoked a WRX with 4 passengers.

I think you guys need to start appreciating this car for its performance, rather than hating it because its a Dodge Neon LOL

I will graciously lose to these cars as my S2K stands no chance unless from a roll

I agree...maybe people just cant face the cold hard truth that they are slower than a stock Neon?

I give that car respect where it deserves. I absolutly dislike the body style, but gosh darn it hauls ass!

[fast95pony]

I'm sure it will embarrass a few Mustang GT owners too...stock GT's anyway...

How many are coming to Canada ?? Is there a limited number ??

[CRXguy]

Wasn't it something like 300 cars for the end of the year?

[kevie88]

I love the cars.. Kudo's to Dodge for growing a set of balls and building what we wanted all along, from every manufacturer! Thank you for raising the bar!

I really feel that Dalmler Chrysler has come light years from the bad old days, I dont think the reliability will be that much of an issue (until people start trying to get away with 30psi!!)

[RGAGT]

when this car hit's the streets there are going to be a lot of owned Import Drivers



Hey Roland next year buddy next year

[cocoabrova]

I like B----S--T...............

Don't hold your breath. I don't know whatever happened to the "5000GT" Supra that Toyota was building, and Ford is being a bitch when it comes to rotary. The RX-7 did terrible business, and only humongous sales for the 8 will bring it back.

That's a keeper!

First off, I believe that reliability will be descent considering that dodge has had experience with 2.2L shelby, and 3.0L MINIVAN (!) turbos in the past. Those cars were just as good as thier unequivalent-performance counterparts - although I'm sure there were at least a few bugs that needed to be worked out (just like any car in it's first year of production).

Secondly, dodge is doing something that all companies are deathly afraid of doing, that is, making power. Look at thier Viper SRT-10, Viper powered Ram, and the 2004 SRT-8 (check this one out!).. not to mention the hemi- dakotas, durangos, etc. They have experience, and I believe it shows.
.. if anything, dodge is gonna be the "coolest" manufacturer soon because of all the crazy products that they have the balls to make.

And thirdly, it's an SRT-4.. not a neon - just as an sx 2.0 is not a neon.

one correction, the turbo 4 cyl's of the 80's/early 90's were all 2.2 and 2.5's.

the caravan used a turbo 2.5 although there were a couple factory turbo 3.0L's made that never made it into production

They are FUGLY. Need to be lower an wider., the headlights need to go. And $40,000+ for a souped up neon? Ridiculous.

It's $20k USD. That should convert to something like 27-28k CDN.

[EvilNeon]

$25,995 for one with the stock wheels. The only option available is one with bigger, chunkier wheels.

DC has also made it known that any dealer caught doing 'additional dealer markup' will be fined, made to return the money, and lose their 5 star status which will mean they can no longer sell PVO vehicles.

SRT-4's handle like crap...

Lots of speed for 30k Canadian and I've always loved turbo-4's (it's all I've ever known), but someone said it best when they said this about the SRT-4, "At the end of the day, it's still a Neon.".

[EvilNeon]

And guys with Porsches say, "at the end of the day, Acura is still a just a Honda."

So?
