Well, theres a start. I'm sure we'll have a few new posts later on where someone got smoked, or someone hung on. As long as those run-in's continue to be legal on a track or ahem...closed off roads then we'll be good. No streetracing! (of course speeding is every american's right--until taken away)

I would like to take this time to thank the FHP for closing the roads and cooperating.
Thanks FHP.

okay okay okay, you can compare a modded to [censored] csvt to other stock stuff all day long, so lets compare overall moddability of a car when new is $20K vs a car when new was $23k.....

yeah, let's compare a car that costs less than the csvt and srt-4 for overall modability,,, that's right the zetec contour. ever see the meguair's focus. granted it's not a contour, it is a zetec. and it also runs 6sec. 1/4 miles.... zetecs rule.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater
CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

ATL, the SVT or any other contour, cougar does not have the moddability (word?) of the SRT-4 for only one reason... TURBO! you can mod the krap out of any turbo really.
At the time the svt came out in 97 it was a bargain, compared to it's competition.
2003, yes I do believe by far the SRT-4 is the biggest bargain going around.
I earlier stated that an SRT-4 with dessimate a contour SVT.. After a period of entanglement I will say this..
A turbo svt will DESSIMATE an SRT-4!

lets compare turbo svt (svt plus 5k just for the turbo, not counting quaife and whatever else you might want) vs. srt-4 plus 5K. gimme a break dude. no comparison. Again... MOPAR STAGE 1 kit, $328 HP at the wheels: 245 TQ at the wheels: 265
for $328 dollars. again for $328. STAGE 2 and 3 aren't even out yet. Stage 3 is 300 HP and 300 TQ and will not cost 5k. I would say it's a safe assumption to think that these are underrated the same as the stock numbers are.

Yeah, but it's still a cheap quality, base level Neon... No amount of turbo power will ever get rid of that. Regardless of the very tough engine it has.
Also if you want to compare tit for tat.
Take the price of a used SVT (since they've been out of production for over 3 years!) and add the turbo kit and you are still well under the base price of the Neon. You also have a hell of a lot more power. (280-290FWHP/270-275FWTQ) Infinitely more usable powerband (vs the peaky 4-pot) and more peak power. Not to mention that even an SVT that has been totaled in a crash still looks better then the ricer wannabe Neon.
2000 SVT #674
13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!
It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
