That's what I thought, now raise your hand if you even seen one in real life, looked at the interior, listened to the mufflerless exhaust note, looked under the hood, etc, etc....................................................................
Again that's what I thought.
I now own an SRT-4, and I just spent my first $180 on a TurboXS HP DSBC which should put me in the mid 13's. There are several folks over on SRTForums already running mid 13's with 1, yes ONE, $180 mod. Call it what you want.... but I'll show you my tail lights any time. 
On a side note, I'm embarassed to see some of the comments on this board lately. Being a 'non-contour' owner now. Couple that with owning the car that can hand a boxter S it's ass (making it the mosted hated on car on the block, which is great). All this net hating going on and yet, I've never even had one person say one bad thing to me about it in person. In fact I have at least one person a day ask me 15 questions about it and then want a ride. Deal with it or get something faster if you can't.
[Bursts out loud]
Bro, I dont make downgrades in life. Who is hating on the SRT-4? Umm, not me. I could give two shits about the car. When I look at one all I see is very fast NEON. No thanks in my book. As I get older in life my ass driving a modded is not a goal I want to acheive.
As of right now the SVT fits my needs. It can hold its own in speed. MY car turns heads everywhere. I can live with the build quality for now until I am able to afford a better built car.
The question is why would I spend 20k on very fast bucket of bolts, P.O.S that will be breaking down in a year? THe time of the Econo hot rods are thier way out my friend. IMHO build quality comes first for me, then we can talk speed.
Have fun and make sure you have enough leave time beacuse you will be seeing the dealership often.

Dammit Antonio, I thought we ended this? Who asked why would you buy one?
Okay, I've decided that no matter what I say, this lil circle of hatrid will continue. So I will remain silent on teh SRT topic on this board, because I still love contours, just don't own one anymore. And if anyone gets fast enough to wanna race me. My PM box is always open

I thought we did as well unitl you said were :gasp: hating on the SRT-4. Now, come on man. Lets be serious do really think we would sweat anything about a NEON?
I am done with this matter. Have fun with your SRT-4 and be safe out there.

I give Dodge props for making the SRT-4 for $20K with a warranty. I wonder what the conditions are on the the warranty, though, because so many of them are going to be in the shop. I wouldn't buy one because I don't like them. There is no denying the hp and potential they have, but I just think they are ugly. ATL-SVT, glad you like your car. Good luck with your mods, dude. I'm sure your car will kick major ass on the road and tracks.
I agree with Antonio. I would rather have a car that is built better first before I look for speed. If it is built right, it can handle the speed you're going to want to put it in.

dodges are no worse than fords. in fact i know of plenty of people with good running dodges and plenty with bad running fords. though the srt-4 is ugly. and i heard the sound from the muffler and i don't really like it. and the back sits up to high. but it is fast and has a warranty and warranty on upgrades. (are they gonna sell an interior package upgrade). i think dodge should make an AWD turbo vehicle in the $30k price range.

Not everyone is the same. Not everyone has the same opinions & reasons in mind for buying a car. If people want a SRT-4, FINE! If people want a Boxster S, FINE! If people want a focking Kia, FINE! So friggin sick of reading this shite get rehashed everyday. Drive what you want, period.
