This statement is very true....you guys sound like a bunch of assclowns...
The SRT-4 is quicker stock, and will always have the potential to be quicker than an SVT Contour....provided that the owner is an enthusiast, and spends some dough! This is what happens when you compare technology of the late 90's to technology of the new millenium...Guys with modded to hell cars attempting to defend themselves against a new car that can match or even beat them. Think about the Corvette..back in the 60's it was fast as hell! Now we have the ZO6 that has been titled the best Vette ever! Now we all know the BB Vette's of the 60's made some serious power, but look at the smaller displacement ZO6 making more power, getting better mpg, and handling a ton better.
The SRT-4 is just a Neon, but us SVT owners just drive Contours. Comparing the two is like apples to oranges, granted the few turbo/supercharged SVT's are right on par with the SRT-4's...all they have to do is a few simple mods, and those "Neons" will be running hard as hell!
Would I sell my SVT turboed Contour for an SRT-4...no, but I would sell it for a ZO6, or possibly a C-6....any buyers interested?
