i'm 17, and i thought i should chime in on this. i dont like the SRTs for these reasons -- ugly looks , 4 banger engine, and that fact that its a neon . i like my 'tour much better, and once i get my playtoy 'tour hooked up (SVT turbo'd & intercooled 3.0L , venom nitrous , custom air intakes (yes, plural ), and high flow cats & exhaust ) i dont think it will be able to touch me.
With the money you're going to waste (who are you kidding, you're a 12 year old with a big wheel, come on now!), you could buy a Supra TT, which would own your a$$ all day long. Dumbass domestic ricer. (CBM, is that you?)
Very true. Let's see 20K-Srt-Neon.....20K MkIV TT Supra (SECKSIE!!! )and faster stock for stock.
the 93 supra still goes for about 24-25k used with over 100k miles on it. You wont get nothing for 20k.
To the neon guy -- I've always maintained that straight line performance is important to me, hence my camaro. Its just not why I bought the SVT contour -- I knew I wasnt going to blow anyone away with the that if I left it close to stock. But it can hold its own, and it is a joy to drive, and it has the look and feel of a more expensive european car. I was trying to be nice, because I think the neon is kinda cool conceptually, but --if I wanted a riced up looking, cheap feeling econobox with some serious get up and go, then Id look into a neon, but thats not what I and many others on the CONTOUR board want (right now at least). The cars do not serve the same purposes, they are not in the same category or class. If you want to compare the two cars, you might as well compare anything else made in the same time period, thats why I throw in the z28 for comparison sake. That is the point I was trying to make, different types of cars, different strokes for different folks.
