I agree most of the SRT 4 drivers think they have the fastest car on the road. I have no problem with the car itself, I wouldn't own one, but it's the people that drive them that give the car such a bad name. Everytime I come across one on the road they definately make it clear that they have a bov.

i met one that said his could take an 02 Z06 corvette and got sh*t on 40-160 and got off the freeway because he was talking so much crap n got proved wrong i drive a mustang and a wrx wagon but they are two totally different cars not even in comparison to one another. (contradicting) my suby is a much more stirdy and comfordable car, but my mustang is faster and more torqier, especially at low rpm's but the suby is more reliable but thr mustang is fast and handles a little better. all in all i wouldnt trade either of em for anything else...accept an sti and a cobra lol.

i am on a mustang forum and that is all they think.. is that their **** is the best **** ever and that no one can touch it... hahahaha.. lol... well let me convert my wrx to RWD and then we will see who pulls harder lol... and they complain saying that AWD sucks because it the *****s way of launching and there is no talent involved in launching one lol... well all i have to say about mustang owners and SRT-4 owners is that they think their **** is so badass... i want to see them do as many things as we do with their cars... Subaru-Track, AutoX, Rally, RallyX, Drag. SRT-4/Mustang-Track(maybe), Drag. so... i would take a 10year old suabru over a mustang/srt-4 any day.. plus i dont want to deal with the people involved in the "scene" i am very happy that i own a WRX!

its not the car, its the douche-bags that drive them. I ALWAYS get revved on..and its always a fat high school kid with his gay friend in the passenger seat w/ crooked hat and hoody. Kinda like that story where the fat kid stole the dudes skyline than got owned by the good folks on the forums. Imagine that kid, but in a SRT 4

lol damn old thread come back to life.

but anyway. is really the SRT drivers that made it that way. all those srt4 is RICE out. i HATE IT.

for example, my girlfriend went hang out with her friends and told me that a guy drives a car with the vroompssh, and chrome wheels. i ask what car is it, she said its a SRT. she goes he drives fast and stuff. im like omg dumb *** driver.

there are rice wrx out there, but there are WAY too many rice out neons. they think they are the SHI*, because they have a turbo and vroompshh.

This is what I have to say about them...

1. When whey were new you COULD not get one for under 20k
2.it's still a Neon lol
3. it's FWD
4. Everyone that drives them thinks it is the world, but it's not lol

I am not full of hate though! some good things about the car.

1. The engines are good and can react to mods very well\
2. they car be insane on th freeway and put crazy hard over 120mph

thats it, and I still don't like the car lol

I like the fact that you can put a small amount of money and time and have a really fast car, in a straight line.
Most of the drivers I have seen with an SRT-4 always rev at me or try to race me and that to me is stupid unless its at the track.

there are a few drivers out there that are cool and understand the car scene, not just the neon/srt-4 scene, but the majority of the other drivers ruin it.
