Ahhh... the SRT-4. Indeed, a very nice car. I would like to have one! Except, when a new girl asks... "So whaddya drive?" And you say... "An SRT-4". And she says: "Oh... what's that?".... and you say "A neon..." Oh yeah, your reply was longer, but that's all you got in till she walked away! Forget pimp factor when talking about Neon vs. Contour. My Cougar is waaaay harder than both!  But still... bring me the SRT-4. Gyad.. I'd love to be pushing one of those with a full warranty and a Stage 2 or 3 upgrade pushing 300+ horses at the wheels in that light little car. I'd smoke everything! (Except of course for big-daddy SVT Cobra... but he's double the price!) Then again, in a neon with 300+ horses, you might indeed be pushing it soon enough! Massiv.P.S. Can someone here help me justify owning two cars so I can go and buy one already??

he's a former svt owner. no reason he shouldn't be on this site. he now owns a srt-4 and you critize him. I guess cause his car is faster than your's. so what if the srt-4 is ugly. it's fast and has more parts coming that will be warrantied and be even faster. a body kit, lowering springs, custom hood and interior would fix the looks and he'd still be faster than you. a new svt contour didn't cost much more than a new srt-4 so if I guess you're saying anybody could own either of the cars.

nobody is critizing him for coming on the site. I think everyone's problem is that he thinks he's wayyyy better than everybody else because he has a faster car than the tour. I'm sure everyone is really happy for him, and I'm sure just about everyone here likes to hear about faster cars, but every post I've seen him make has said something like no, that car is not ugly because my car is WAYYYYYYYYY faster than yours. It has absolutely nothing to do with the subject, and validates no point whatsoever.
Two things 1.Your car is not faster than mine. I, as well as a lot of other people on this site, have more cars than the tour, and the srt-4 while not easily beat by a tour, is still just a turboed neon, and very easy to beat with say... an m3.
2. You CAN NOT go buy a brand new svt. They stopped making them. srt-4s are readily available.

Man I was gonna leave this alone too...
-We'll go from the bottom up, readily avail is relative since there were only 3700 made.
-How does a stock 13.9 second car not easily beat a stock 15.5 second car?
-Unless the M3 is is 01 or newer, yes it can easily be beat by a "turboed neon".
-what do you drive? You tell me I "think I'm way better than everybody becuase my car is so fast" (which if you search this thread hasn't been said). THen you say my car can beat yours. No info offered. 
-the bottom line is there are haters in the world. And people that think this is penis measuring contest. Well I'm italian and I drive a turboed neon. So I win. 
now you can think that I think I'm the greatest person in the world becuase I have a 20k turboed neon. And I can think you're a tool.

I ahve had Convos with Alt-SVT(SRT...LOl...sorry)and he has never come off in anyway that woruld seem sulting or stuck up. He has actaully been quite helpful with some questions of mine. I can understand how some of his posts can be taken in the wrong way, but you have to look at everything here on this site with an open mind. Its hard to tell what people mean by something when you can hear the tone of there voice and Facial expressions....i say we quite the petter bickering and move on....
Ok SVT is fast, SRT-4 is faster...big whoop...lets all just get over it and realize that we cna turbo are cars too....Its not a big deal we just have to out more effort into our vehicals.

3.0 SVT hybrid...all the fixens...Track/Race ready very soon!!!!!! 20,000 + miles
