SRT4 What do you people think?

**finboy** · 08-01-2003, 09:02 PM

i thought there was a limited # being made

The only thing I'm concerned about is reliability. Other than that, this car is second to none. The the 2004's coming with a LSD standard I'm all over this car!

Great power, good handling.....what else is there?

Looks? That is personal opinion but even if you don't like the styling now you may change your mind when the sight of one invokes the image of you getting your ass handed to you.

Reliability? As I said before, this is a concern. Realistically, it can't be that bad. Besides, can you name me another car under $30G's that has over 200whp and 200wtq WITH a intact warranty?

This car has everything any car enthusiast could really ask for.

It gets a big

from me

**max_boost** · 08-01-2003, 11:35 PM

This car is freaking scary
7 years 115000km warranty along with factory turbo upgrades
Ricers better watchout!!!

**dj_honda** · 08-02-2003, 12:33 AM

i dont think the syling is too bad, i dont like the spoiler. i have seen it in person twice, once in the NE, and once going northbound deerfoot. it is pretty sweet, and factory turbo upgrades kick ass.

i wouldnt get yellow though. and i would proly shave all the badges

actually sport compact car just did another dyno test in this month's issue and found 223hp and 250 ft/lbs!!!! Ricers beware is the understatement of the century!

why wouldnt it be reliable? cause its a neon?

i have been playing with these 2.2/2.5 turbo for the last 5-6 years. these bottom ends are almost bullet proof. have you seen these rods? they are as big if not bigger than some v8 rods. you said they dont last? most of my cars i had are over 220,000km, i still turn the boost up, no problems. 7yrs warranty with the srt-4 how much more do you need?

I checked with a dealership in Canada, the car is being shipped in a limited amount into the country by September, believe or not most of them are already sold out!! So yes I guess if the car becomes mass produced then it would sell like hotcakes, so what happens with this controversial car I don't know. All I say is that I WOULD buy one, Silver, lower the suspension, its a bit to propped up from the back, (why would you want to touch the exhaust, its fine as it is). Tint the glass, crome body parts, some decals, maybe change the spoiler, spray black plastic parts (eg mirrors) same body colour, upgrade the turbo kit, and add a blow out valve. It might still be a neon, but it will scare the shit out of anybody in the passanger seat.

It doesn't look too bad, actually. It doesn't look like it suffers from over-eatting and over-zealous designers like most new cars (Argh, I hate fat cars). Price is good too.

**ecstasy_civic** · 08-02-2003, 11:53 AM

well after showing my brother in law the article last night, hes alreadyt on his way down to varsity chrysler to see if he can get one or not. Im very interested to see if theyve been all pre-sold.

**Ebbsvette** · 08-02-2003, 11:58 AM

i give two thumbs up for the SRT-4.....very fast little car.....raced one awhile ago and all i hafta say is...more than just imports need to beware...heh......and i think its pretty stylish.....bout time domestics make a killer car to battle imports

if you look at what they did to make it dual exhaust you would be suprised.

one pipe comes out the middle, splits into 2 and twist back towards to the front of the car before it turns 180 degrees again to come out as dual exhaust.

**max_boost** · 08-02-2003, 01:04 PM

The front end looks nicer than last year's WRX!!! The only people that will be hating this car are Honda owners, that's about it. Myself is included in that group!!

**Boostn** · 08-02-2003, 01:14 PM

I don't really consider the car a neon, it just looks like one. That'll just add to the sleeper effect. Dodge should have used the SX2.0/Neon chassis and moulded a different design around it for the SRT4. They did the right thing in the powertrain dept. though. Let's just hope more manufacturers follow suit.

**Boost Infested** · 08-02-2003, 02:22 PM

it was a NEON, and it STILL is a NEON!

**AccordTypeR** · 08-02-2003, 03:11 PM

who cares if its a neon!!! so what if neons are econoboxes.... this one isnt. personally if i had the money id get one and the fact that it ahd factory upgrades just sweetens the deal. right now for that price nothing beats it

lammer · 08-02-2003, 03:59 PM

i'd buy that if i were allowed to sell my car for that haha. ithink its an impressive piece!

Agreed, call it an SRT4, not a neon

That was seriously a bad move by Dodge, that small detail of it still being badged as a neon just isnt going to sit right with alot of potential buyers.

Although, an STi is still an Impreza?

Was this at the wheels though? It looks like he was talking wheels, and you not. Unless this makes that at the wheels, then I really fear.

Yes that's at the wheels

**LancerShelby** · 08-05-2003, 09:02 PM

It needs a 3" for sure. I was there looking at the one that rolled through town, he's a friend. No mufflers, just a cat and 2 resonators in 2 1/4'' piping. There is a real bad choked sound to the exhaust though. Boost hits really hard, has V8 type of low end, no bullshit!!! It has incredable passing power on the highway, 5th gear passes are no problem. The trip to his hometown of Olympia, Wash. a couple weeks ago was really neat.
The car is made to be affordable, there over spray underneath the car, they only dip primer them, then spray the final colour.

**CRXguy** · 08-05-2003, 10:37 PM

Found a pic of the new color apparently, for the upcoming new year. Perhaps another car on my driveway?
