4 denotes the number of cylinders it has

For example: The viper srt-10 has 10 cylinders. the upcoming srt-8 has 8 cylinders...you get the point

SRT stands for street and racing technology, or street road and track. I forget which.

Well... even though I don't much like Neons, I still can't say that I like to see accidents like that...
But a girl driver, and not even plates yet... oh man
And she didn't even want an SRT-4
This wasn't on Oahu, was it Rich?

Nope, wasn't here... It is a shame - but that goodness she didn't get more seriously hurt.

Because it's a Neon? Have you ever driven a Neon? I did for a while (a long term rental) until it died. Which, since my wife used to work for Chrysler, was no surprise. At Chrysler, they want their cars to break down after a couple years so that you have to buy a new one. It was a driving philosophy at the company at the time.

I personally think it's great that an American car company
Uh, it's a German car company.

I like SRT-4's. I'm sure it'd be a fun car when you slap on a front LSD... Wouldn't suit my driving needs however.

I like the SRT-4, what other cars out there can you spend less than a grand and put down decent power. We've sponsored majority of their local meets, and the people are very nice. The SRT4 sounded AWESOME.

Not sure why every car has to have an "enemy", they all do the same, gets you from point A to point B, some does it faster than others, thats all. No need to hate on other manufactures just because we're the majority here.

It's just like people over use the word "rice", everything they don't like is "rice". Or Domestics sucks, people need to open their minds and realize that Subarus aren't king of the roads, they are not gifts from god, and stock for stock, the SRT will eat the WRX.

I think most people agree with me in this thread... They like the car, but it doesn't suit them. If it was RWD or AWD, I'd love to drive one... however, there are other cars I'd like to have. (STi and EVO, simply because I've always loved them). But for less than 20k, the Neon wins.

Although one of the reasons I drive a subie is because of reliability, and safty ratings... two things that dodge lacks.
