i am not even sure the neon is faster than the 350 cause from what i have seen them run in person a 350 would will by a couple 1/10th's in the 1/8mile.

Which one?
srt4 engineering for speed, power to ground, and decent handling, good braking is above the 350z. More time engineering.
I think neither are a true sports car though at all. True sports car is a viper, z06, ferrrari.
99cougar, srt4 is faster if driver can drive. SEen it.

what are the times on them? i was just saying that aroung where i live the 350 owners must be better drivers. i think most all the ppl aroung here that own an srt-4 just are too retarded to know how to drive it like its supposed to be driven.

expecting a fwd car to put down amazing times in the 1/8 vs a smilarly power rwd car is silly.
The SRT4 should by all means be passing the 350 once past the 1/8 mile mark. I.E. once it has traction.

i ahve personally seen it run 8.90's. the quickest srt4 around here that is stock runs 9.30's-9.50's. oh and to say my staement was silly...yur an ass. aroung here neither of thos ecars have a traction problem. the stock srt-4 lose traction only in 1st for about a half a secong at the most. and either way you look at it...it is still a neon

bahh ha haa. Coming from person that drives a srt4 occasionally it does have traction problems. It is great for FWD but it spins easy and long if you're not good. Friend's srt4 runs a 9 flat in 1/8 bone stock with a broken motor mount. With a perfect driver it could do high 8s stock. After 1/8th it catches a 350z. Modified with aftermarket rubo saw it run and spun through third. Stock tires though.

I don't think the SRT4 can compete with the 350Z in any way other than the price tag/performance aspect
the overall quality of the 350Z is on an entirely different level
the 350Z is RWD
the 350Z has more displacement (TT anyone?)
the 350Z handles better
the power for both is similar...depends on who is driving to decide the race
the 350Z has a better quality interior
the 350Z is just on a whole nother level like I said, and much more performance oriented than the SRT4.
the 20-22K price tag of the SRT4 seems to blur peoples vision...if it was 30K not nearly as many people would buy it.
All in all, if I could afford a 350Z I would not even touch an SRT4...I can't see any way in my mind how an SRT4 is someway "better" than the Z.

Well thanks for pointing out every single ovbious thing about this.
BUT
Does not decide driver, SAME good driver in both cars would be srt4 faster.
More performance orientated... NO. It has the luxury enuff for women and children to drive. SRT4 makes enough noise and stuff only people wanting to go fast want it. Due to cost limiting aspect, it is only what it is though.
Of course if you have lots of money you're not gonna get and its prices is it selling point. So what are you trying to say? If the 350z was 50k, I wouldn't touch it either. Point?
and SRt4 is cheaper to modify and more reliablily (to a point).
