Sorry no vids...I saw this on another board. Looks like teh fastest car evar is immune to the Hawaii factor. I couldn't get out of the 15's in my stock rex.

 

That's fast as heck for a stock WWD 4-banger. Wow.

Its Jason, Jeff or something w/ a J???? He is a Instructor at the S.G. track days and drives the purple Corvette. I was talking to him at the track Sat and he said that there is a Srt-4 w/ Mickey Thomson slicks, and a Cat-back running 12.7's I can't wait to see that thing next to me

 

wow... I really gotta get back out to the track! I've been away to long...

 

That's pretty quick for something called a neon.

Anybody clock an XT?

 

its funny cause a stock srt4 has only 230hp and frnt wheel drive my fren works at dodge and he told me they no can beat a sti....(at car show dodge was sendin ppls to our booth tell us that the stock srt4 could beat our sti!!!hahaha funny)my frend said the the srt4 would give the wrx rubs but it all comes down to the driver and plus like my fren greg says the'll beat us to the shop and have faster times to break down

 

they aren't bad for the price you pay for (without mark-up) but then again the hawaii dealerships will jack up the price anyways...there was this person selling one for $22000 used...anyone know of any reliablity issues with the SRT-4?? just outta curiousity...

 

hmm....A boosted Dodge? i wonder about its reliability issues. Dodge isn't too stellar w/its cars when it comes to reliability. But then again, I hear that the boosted 4 is quite bulletproof. Guess we'll just have to see.

 

Turbo Dodges have been around for a while. So far the SRT hasn't had any major problems. That's pretty impressive, especially when you think about who buys these cars and the way they are driven.

I think the 500hp one blew it's motor, but that was pretty heavily modded.

 

it will be cool to go up against a srt-4

 

I agree, but the markups are definitely excessive.

I was honestly shopping for one this time last year, before I decided on the wrx. The price from the dealer in Washington state was 25,000 plus tax, title and license!!! They said "It's a limited edition car..only 7K are being made."

 

What are they supposed to run?

 

I've heard if you can drive it correctly, HIGH 13's are obtainable on a stock SRT-4. Looks like the run above supports that info, but I've never seen or read it from anything else I would consider reliable.

 

I have a friend at my work that has an SRT-4 and they ran it at our local track last week.

13.1 @ 104

I was like, "time to buy more mods for my suby"

He has a Intake, Exhaust, and UTEC for the NEON

 

Engine worthiness aside, has anyone seen the Neon's performance in frontal crash tests? *shudder* No way would I drive one.
