//::SeanJohn1802 Photoshoot ::: Presenting Matt's SRT-4

[PANGES]

Nice car They're not as bad as everyone thinks, I raced a couple before and they kept up a hella of a lot better than the evo 8's and 9's did. Only downflaw I would say is the FWD and the redline.. just rely on torque too much... which i dont think is all that bad... 260torque @ 2200 rpm is pretty amazing. (correct me on the numbers if i'm wrong). In stock trim, my car did'nt make 260 torque till like 5000 rpm. lol. If he was AWD, I dunno if I would've taken him or not. (This was stock for stock for comparison)

panges what did you run... did u ever track ur 240?

 

[Matt.]

it's funny that civic owners are saying "it's still a neon"


like an evo is just a lancer eh?

No one has a problem with lancers, or impreza's. But everyone hates neons. Which is why we say its still a neon.

whats funny is all these comments come from .. . . CIVIC OWNERS !!!! (because a civic is a much better car right)

Im not going to get into this really, because i think SRT-4's are pretty damn cool, but at the same time, in the defense of some of the other members here, i WOULD argue that a stock civic is alot better then a stock neon. Both have slackass performance, but the build quality of the honda and the fit and finish is alot higher then the neon.. Now, I could justify driving the srt because i think it is cool looking and quite the performer, but thats why people say "ITS STILL A NEON". Yes, a neon is aimed at the same market as a civic, but i think a civic is a better made machine.

No, never got a chance... i did however beat this fully built rsx-s (cams, spray, blah blah) that runs 12.4 1/4 mile by a few cars so i think it's safe to say somewhere in the 12's. I did'nt really pull on him till like near the end of 3rd gear and 4th gear i pulled away more... so i'm probally close to what he would do in the 1/4... i was on 14 PSI at the time though.

But the argument is null and void because an SRT4 isn't a normal neon.... It might still be a neon, but the build and fit of it as well as perfomance is improved....

But whatever, let the haters hate....

car looks bangin...

If that is the case, I will agree with you.. i think its hard to believe that a company would step up its build quality just to make this car.. but nonetheless, one of the only domestic cars i would buy.

Anyone have any opinion in terms of the cars longterm reliability??

 

[krayziejcs]

very nice

With a cast iron block, i'd assume it should last a fairly long while.. (correct me if i'm wrong)

Now, I could very likely be wrong here... but the old neon with the DSM motor had an iron block correct??? And it sucked ass in about every other aspect but that damn block.. something that alot of people say abuot dsms!!

There are a couple 03's hitting 100k these days and still running strong, there is one guy with a big turbo on his stock motor who is at 103k and his car still feels like new.

Take care of your car, and the car will take care of you

Also on build quality.. my gf has a 05 neon SXT as a rental (her si is in the bodyshop) while the interior is 70% the same. The srt-4 defenatly has better quality parts, such as the fabric on the seats, roof and doors, the bezzels are better, the guages are better etc.. the suspension is completley different, the brakes are different and the motor and tranny are a complety different beast then found in any neon.

Thanks for comments guys, good or bad.

 

[StanghaterCivic]

For some reason i think they almost look better stock height.... ?

and yes STOCK sohc sucks ass... but ive ridden in some sohc that would eat that srt4 lol.... sohc have lots of potential...

well i hope a sohc with work done 2 it.......hopin its turbo if u say it can beat it.......anyways let the sohc get a hold of one with an AGP 50 trim kit....i dont think it will be much of a race.........but yea man nice ride.....brother has a white one

 

[LowNotSlow]

wow is that really dropped? Looks liek it's still high, I guess it's just the shape.

Nice car though. Not my style. But a nice car nonetheless.
