That car is amazingly attractive - i can't help but stop and stare everytime I see one, even if its parked. Not potent enough? Isnt it comparable to Boxter S performance AND handling at 26k base?
For 20K the SRT-4 beats both of those cars accross the board. 1/4 mile, 0-60 time, skidpad, slalom, etc, etc...
Have you heard of the One Lap of America???? SRT-4 placed 8th way ahead of all the EVO's, STI's and everything. Even beating out a Lamborghini Diablo.... Take it for what it's worth.
Yes indeed it is just a NEON . Let me explain something to you. As you move up in age people tend to put the childish things aside. If was looking for a new car right now you can best believe a NEON would not be on my list. If I am paying 20k+ for a car you can best believe it better have some status to it and the NEON just does not cut. I don't care how fast it it. Ofcoure, this is just my .2
Sounds like a man who just got beat by a neon. Some status?? Get an RSX then and you can go over to RSXworld.com and join the SRT-4 hating over there. It's funny how soo many people are hung up on the 'it's just a neon' statement. IMO that's the only cut down you have. Ever seen one in real life? Ever driven one, or even riden in one? Didn't think so.
CAR and DRIVER in a STOCK SRT-4: 0-60: 5.4 seconds 1/4 mile: 13.9
An RSX riiiiiight. That is no better then your prized NEON only much slower.
ATL-SVT, if your happy with your purchuse then fine. All I am saying is when I start looking for my next car it will be in the likes of BMW, AUDI etc. In my life I am done with the "boy racer image." The reason I have my contour still is because I do not see the logic in buying a 30k to 50k while I am still living at home or in a apartment.
