May die in the stright...but not in the turns.....trust me...the SRT-4 sucks in the turns because of the suspension is designed to get the best quater mile time in the stright away....Thus sacraficing turning ability....you screw with the suspension on one of those then the SVT's will be cable to catch up in the strights. But not sure how much till someone tries..... Roz Last edited by rozwell911; 01/16/03 04:03 AM. 3.0 SVT hybrid...all the fixens...Track/Race ready very soon!!!!!! 20,000 + miles

Roz and you forgot to mention that the srt-4 is one ugly a$$ friggin' pos....and it certainly isn't all that fast...so what it might be faster than my svt,but it doesn't look better...and anyway i have a mustang when i want to go fast...and it will put the smackdown on that pos neon...

All these test where conducted buy professional drivers. These guys launch cars for a living. If you put Joe blow driver behind any of those cars you can add a hole second to the time... From what's been posted, it's not uncommon for a contour to hit low 15's and high 14's.. ED Black E0, 3L Hybrid. Long time ago... It was fast. real fast...

I wouldn't expect the Neon to handle bad at all either, look what they could do with the ACR on 14" tires! That car was a terror of the Auto-X for a while. Stats on the SRT-4: Handling Lateral Grip (200-ft. skidpad): 0.85g Slalom (700-ft. six cone): 69.0 mph 69 MPH in the slalom is going to KICK contour @ss - sorry, it's cheaper, faster and handles better. Looks will not be mentioned Qoute from sport compact car: "That means the SRT-4 runs head to head with the new Nissan 350Z and the Subaru WRX, while leaving the new Mini Cooper S and the Acura RSX Type-S in the dust."
