Why do people find the SRT-4 so desirable???

[Vendetta]

Four doors, FWD, ugly, Neon. What the hell? I just don't get it. Sure it makes good power but what the hell's the point if you can't get that to the ground.

[johntom]

to me making an srt4 out of a neon would be like puttin lipstick on a pig, it just doesnt make sense, in the end its still a pig and the car is still gay

[Chris 96 WS6]

Exactly.....someone once said to me you can make a turd run 12s with enough money, but in the end its still a turd.

Its no more desireable to me than a Pinto GT, LOL.

[Vendetta]

Somebody should post this on SRTforums... :D

[Chris 96 WS6]

That's not to say it isn't a neat little car, but a) its not my taste and b) this is the SMACK FORUM!!!!!!

SRT4 sucks!!!!!! :twak:

[Turo]

I think people love them because 1. this country is infatuated with small turbocharged vehicles, and 2. the srt is pretty affordable.

04 Srt,Stage1 ecm,K&N cold air intake and a Buschur exhaust on Bfg drag radials netted a 12.84 at 106. Alot of bang for the buck.

[Karps TA]

I don't buy the bang for a buck theory either. For a third of the money you could buy a 70's Nova, stick a motor in it and run faster then 12's.

Leave Neon's to what they do best. Crappy subcompact rentals cars that everyone complains about getting when they get one.

Yeah but young kids think old Novas are slow...they won't buy it unless it has 2 cams and 4 valves per cylinder and has a wing. Plus some people absolutely have to buy only new cars.

[Karps TA]

Well absolutely having to have a new car and yet choosing a Neon is grounds for a mandatory mental health exam.

I fear for America's youth. We V8 muscle car driving people need to hurry up and pollute the enviroment to kill off the future generations! lol

[Fenster]

You guys dont' get it b/c you are not part of the new "hip" crowd that is into the import craze. For what it is, its not bad if you look at the money spent. Its a fairly inexpensive turbo car. Not necessarily my cup of tea, obviously, but for a lot of my peers (yes I am 22) and the younger crowd that is the hot shit right now. I am not going to rain on their parade too bad, except when I smack one around on the track... or street... whichever is available!!! LOL

[1970judge]

Because they are sports cars :poke:

[1970judge]

I have a little brother age 11. He hates ricers. He makes fun of them normally i usually dont because thats their taste. He is quick to make fun of a fart can and a wing cars. My brother is already saving up for his 16th b-day to have a camaro. So not every youth is like that.

[josh99ta]

I'll be in the minority here...

First off, I can appreciate anything that is decently fast. The SRT-4 certainly falls within that category. I dont know exact figures, but I bet it gets very good gas mileage, and it's probably got something most cars try hard to achieve, the "fun to drive" factor of a light(er)weight vehicle that can move pretty decently in a straight line or through the curves (although it may not excel at either), and it has four doors meaning it's practical. Now I'll give it that its not the prettiest thing on the road, but thats secondary IMO to it's pluses, and it really doesn't look THAT bad, especially in the darker colors.

I bet if you took one for an open-minded test drive you'd probably have fun driving the little thing. Granted it might not be your cup of tea, but that doesn't mean it isn't a cool little car. Now the attitude of the little punks that drive most of them, thats another story...

I guess I should get in line more with the smack talking spirit. :p

[1970judge]

I am not disagreeing to that liking. Ive drivin test driven one it was quite nice and fast for stock. Faster than the other cars i tested out. But i tihnk vendetta was pointing out that EVERYONE and thier mom is now buying them because it sthe hottest shit on the market and its ungodly fast from the showroom. What the fwd guys no is its no faster than my camaro stock or an evo,impreza,etc.

[Chris 96 WS6]

Yeah Josh...get with it!!!!

[Karps TA]

It all comes down to the general public having no taste anymore. GM should just bring back the Aztec with a turbo 4 cyl putting out 300 hp and AWD and watch them fly off the lots.

[josh99ta]

I remember when I first start noticing things while riding in a car. An 18 second 1989 Honda Accord felt fast. Then my buddy got a high 15 second GSR, that thing felt like hell on wheels. When I got my Trans Am we were blown away. Some people just haven't been raised around cars or been in a fast car, so a low 14 second SRT-4 that is fun to drive feels like a missle to them. It has alot to do with the young-and-cocky attitude also.

Just remember, there is always someone faster. Granted there are alot of people faster than SRT-4s (lol) but thats not my point. :)

I understand that it's cheap power, but what the hell is the point? You can't get that power to the ground. The fastest stock suspended srt-4 will stay in 10s forever. Sure I'd have fun driving it, about as much fun as I have driving my WRX. But that doesn't mean I'm going to jizz all over myself every time I see a fast one at the track like I do with F-Bodies. Just seems pointless to me.

I was the same way. In high school my friend's 305 TBI motored Firebird felt fast as hell. Ever since then, if it doesn't run 10s, it ain't fast in my book.

[1970judge]

First car i ever rode in that was fast was a 93 pace car. Hence my love for lt1's and camaros. I soon after rode in my next door neighbors 396 powered 79 camaro.his next car a 99 gt procharged,his next car a 383 87 ss monte.

[1970judge]

My love for cars stretches to when i was little before i ever rode in that pace car i LOVED exotics. Namely porsche's and i had an infacuation with vipers. (of course the old ones 96 my favorite year and color scheme ffor a gts).
I also like MG's my grandpa would buy one soup it up sell it and repeat we still own his last one given to my big brother before he died. Ive built engines for several occasions. 6 is my build count and none ive got to keep. Ive been around cars all my life. But also most of my friends onyl recently 15ish became car guys so i can see how a 14 sec srt-4 seems fast to them because all they have ever known is dads truck.

Hey hook me with a 12 second Nova with a 6 year 60k warrantty,air,cruise,power windows and you can drive to the track run 12's and drive home for $6000 the SRT was 18k

[johntom]

randy i never said they werent fast i just said no matter what, its still a gay little car. say chris puts on a dress and makeup, is he or is he not still a guy?? the neon could come stock running 10's and it would still be one of the gayest cars ever. i know what you guys are sayin, im 17 and all the high school kids think srt4's are the shit. one kid at my old school got one and was telling me how he was gonna put an intake on it and get over 20hp. by the time i go back to ft wayne next summer ill have enough done to smoke his "sports" car

It's all in what you want! I am not too keen on Grand Prixs . You ever notice how many women drive them? But I don't go around saying they are gay. I can't imagine how much "shit" you would talk if you were faster than him now and not "next summer"

[johntom]

none cause i dont talk shit. i have nothing to prove to him, u or anyone else. i understand everyone has a right to like different things but everyone also has the right to an opinion and my opinion is that any for of a neon is gay

Sorry, but I happen to agree. Power or not, I could never drive 1) a FWD car or 2) a Neon.

although somebody said don't diss what you can't catch I think the SRT-4 is fast but they are overrated.

You are right you are entitled to your opinion as am I entitled to mine. And my opinion is that it takes alot stones to talk "shit" about a car and call it gay when you are driving around in a secretary's car. You aint got nothing on a SRT from stop,a roll,or twisties. Damn you even get worse gas mileage.

ok so i have big balls, and im sure alot of secretaries do drive grand prixs but why wont you let this die man, we dont agree so what? differences make the world go round. this has to be the stupidest arguement ever and you just wont let it die. is it that big of a deal? if itll make you stop bitchin ill say srt4's are fast. just drop it

[LiquidFire350]

a guy i know was talking about getting one, so we asked him why he wants one, he said "cuz they're fast as ****" EDIT: <-- sorry, i was just qouting his exact words

i then told him my dads bone stock 145K mile 94 LT1 with clogged injectors ran 14.5 with the knock sensor pulling 8* of timings, oh yea and still ran faster than a SRT-4, actually he ran two of them and beat both of them

after that we stopped talking and went back to looking at the Hooter's girls

You got big balls setting behind a computer calling someones car gay. When you are riding around in a mommies car. Stupid arguments come from stupid statements. And calling a car
"gay"is pretty damn stupid. :withstupi You thought you could call the SRT gay and with all the F body owners around here they would you think you were cool. Well when you don't have anything better you should keep your mouth shut. I would love to see you call my son's car "Gay" to his face!

[johntom]

you know, i had a big shit talkin comeback posted but im changing it cause i thought about it and its not even worth my time. in the end im still gonna call anything thats a neon gay and your gonna hate grand prixs and me. so theres no point in dragging this out. i used to love getting on this site and burnoutbox just cause we could all have opinions and share cool stories and help each other. ive gotten alot of help from these f bod guys that im "trying to impress" and let me just say i think you have no place on this site. anyone with as little tolerance as that should just stay away cause your gonna drive away the good people that we are looking for. Im going to be the bigger man so consider this my last post in this thread no matter how good of a comeback you come up with.

[trackbird]

I drove my cousins Stage I SRT 4 yesterday.

Pros:

Seats, I like the seats. They are comfortable and have bolsters that make support in the twisty bits.

Shifter, it had a short shifter with "booger bushings" (?) and the throws made my B&M Ripper look like a stock, sloppy, POS (and I love my ripper).

Power, It had good power and was fun to drive.

Handling, it handled reasonably well and had some sporting potential for twisty roads (it's not a race car, but it's competent)

Brakes, not outstanding, but decent (I am running 6 piston wilwoods and race pads, so it take a lot to get into my "outstanding" category).

Cons:

Wheel hop. First gear is useless. Let out the clutch, stand on it, get to 2K RPM and shift to second before you rip the half shafts out of it. That puts you into second gear really early. My gut instinct is that I'd be "long gone" by the time you get that thing moving and you'd be playing catch up (which it may or may not have the power to do).

Torque steer. Once you get through the wheel hop and under boost any imperfection in the road will cause it to try to change lanes. It requires that you stay on top of it. Not the end of the world, but that's what happens when you try to put "big" horsepower through a front wheel drive platform (if this thing was AWD, it could be "evil").

Styling. Not terrible, but it is still a 4 door Neon. Of course WRX's have 4 doors too....

Overall:

I could use one as a daily driver (though I likely wouldn't), if I wasn't driving my Camaro every day. It's inexpensive, has potential to be fun and, they are not making Camaro's anymore.....

[sleeperSS]

i'd take a SRT-4 anyday for a daily driver. sell the wing on e-bay never mod a thing and be done with it. it would never be a racer to me. just a fun car to drive that gets decent gas milage. it would be like driving a vette in comparison to what i drive daily now

[Phoenix57]

an srt4 is still a neon. of course a GTO was a tempest. i appreciate what they can do, but i would never buy one for racing, maybe for a DD. i don't think they get decent mileage, somewhere around 24 i think(not bad but not good for a 4banger).

[LiquidFire350]

an srt4 is still a neon.
not picking on you specifily, but you happened to say it

i think its funny how people classifie the SRT4 as if its a different car, thats like saying a Trans Am is not a Firebird its a Trans Am, NO DIPSHIT its a Firebird Trans Am, if that were the case, i dont drive a Camaro, i drive a Z28, and i used to drive a SE, and my friends Mustang isnt a Mustang, its a GT


sorry for my little rant, i just hate when people say is not a neon, becuase it is jackass

[Vendetta]

Randy, I understand and appreciate your viewpoint but please remember this is the SMACK forum and the rules in here are its OK to talk a big game and be a jerk. Civility is suspended in the smack forum in order to just have some fun. I don't think anybody should take anything said inside the Smack forum seriously or personally, including SRT-4 fans that are lurking :D

[Karps TA]

Well I decided to go to the source and find out about whether or not the SRT4 is gay.

[ThrashN]

Well I decided to go to the source and find out about whether or not the SRT4 is gay.

Now that is some funny shit. I don't care if you drive a Neon or not. With that being said, Randy you need to lighten up and realize that people are going to have opinions and they may not be the same opinions that you view. You are on a GM board and you need to accept that people most likely are not going to blow sunshine up you ass about import cars (I'm including the SRT4 in this statement). Hell I'm on here with a Mustang and I know I'm going to take some shit, but it's all good, if I wanted everyone to agree with me I would be on nothing but Mustang sites.
Just my 2 cents,
Doug

[Vendetta]

So the verdict is in-


SRT4 = teh ghei.

[1970judge]

I have a question for you randy and im NOT trying to start shit. How much did it take for your sons car to run liek it does? Let me have an honest number please cuz if oyu say anytihng below like 5k id say bs.

[baddogz28]

I like SRT-4's. I think it's nice to see a domestic piece of rice that is actually semi-quick. Nice bang for the buck. :homer: :confused:

[1970judge]

Also randy if you dont mind me asking where do you live? If you are who i think you are THEN ill make fun of you.

[NICETRY]

You aint got nothing on a SRT from stop,a roll,or twisties. Damn you even get worse gas mileage.



I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to totally disagree with this statement. Right there, you just set your self up to made look like an ass. I won't link this over to ClubGP, because then you'll really feel small, but I will say this. From a dig, a GTP will take an SRT, granted the SRT will catch and pass the GTP somewhere around the 1000' mark. But down low, the GTP will own an SRT. My 04' GTP CompG, even with a stock pulley, will hang with any Stg. 1 SRT through an 1/8 mi., and trust me, I know, as there are probably 7-8 SRT's here in Clarksville that run at the local 1/8 mi strip every Fri. night. After I install a pulley, ported manifolds, a 3" downpipe, 1.9 rocker arms and LS6 springs, with race gas, my "family car", which has more room than an SRT BTW ;) , will pull a Stg. 1 SRT from a roll.

Keep in mind, this is just my family hauler, as you can look in my sig and see where my heart really lies. ;) I didn't buy the CompG to race, I bought for carrying my wife and 2 sons in style and comfort. I average about 26 mpg on roadtrips, and about 20-21 around town. It may not be that great, but it sure is fun beating the local SRT's from stoplight to stoplight. :D

[NICETRY]

04 Srt,Stage1 ecm,K&N cold air intake and a Buschur exhaust on Bfg drag radials netted a 12.84 at 106. Alot of bang for the buck.


do you really wanna use the bang for the buck theory. Should I even begin to talk about used LS1's, and how cheap you can get them for now? Should I even mention that 106 would be enough to only hang with a stock A4 car from a roll? Should I mention how a Stg. 1 SRT would get raped from a roll by a slightly modded 6-spd LS1? I'm sorry, but do you really want me to continue on the bang for the buck theory??? :o

As for the topic at hand, I don't give a shit. I'll tinker with anything that has an engine and at least two wheels. For what it is, the SRT-4 is pretty damn good. For what it is.

do you really wanna use the bang for the buck theory. Should I even begin to talk about used LS1's, and how cheap you can get them for now? ...

[NeonOrngBlast]

First of all YES THIS IS A NEON THAT I DON'T ARGUE just like the SS is a camaro and the cobra is a mustang so on. I have always been and will always be a Chevy fan. The truth is that I love the F-Body GM made a big mistake in killing it. I would be driving that right now if I could(No I would not want a used one). Some one in my Family has 2 '69 Camaro very nice cars and also a 02 SS Sunset Orange. So like I said I am a fan. Now when they say best bang for the buck they are not talking about a 1987 car that you buy for $1000.00 and build an engine for 4000.00 and make it fast. They are talking about NEW CARS. With my car having Stage 1, CAI, and Catback. I pulled a 95 TA(Auto) from a roll and left him like it was parked. We also ran from a dig and he got me off the line and in third I reeled him in. For the guy that has his Family GTP that beats Stage 1 SRT's with pulley and I don't care what else how much money are we talking for the mods you were listing. Give the SRT the same in money for mods and you will have you A$$ handed to you bad. Gm decided to make the Cobalt. They made that car to compete with our car and it doesn't stand up to ours. Our car hangs with cars that are way out of its price range im not saying we beat them all but we sure put up a fight I have met some ls1 guys here the DFW area in Texas and they are cool and give us props. Like I said I love F-Body cars but don't think that all of you all can beat an SRT-4 when you roll up on one you will be very sad when they pull away and leave you thinking about what the hell happened.

well hello there, and welcome. ;)

I'm the "Family GTP" as you put it, and yes, from a dig, I can get out on SRT's. But, if you will go back read THE WHOLE POST, you will also notice that I said that a GTP could hold an SRT off til about the 1000' mark, then the SRT will come back around. Now, go back and read the part where I was talking about adding a few certain mods to a GTP, I guess you could call those mods "Stg. 1" mods, and yes the GTP will hang with, or pull on the SRT. ;) Let's see, for about $500, my CompG canhang with Stg. 1 SRT's, or at least the ones around here. :)

Oh yeah, welcome again, I hope you enjoy your stay here. :)

[Karps TA]

If a Neon beats me in a race, I'll stick think, well atleast I'm not driving a Neon. Which is probably no difference then a guy driving a Ferrari who get's beat by a guy driving a Camaro. I doubt that guy would think "Wow what a cool car"

You can dress up the Neon as much as you want, put any combination of letters and numbers on the decklid, make it run 8's and get 70mpg. But in the end it's a Neon. But hey high school girls like them so they must be cool. ;)

[NeonOrngBlast]

Thank you for welcoming me and for our cars Stage 1 is a chip that is it it gives us about 10 to 15 WHP Stage 1 (http://www.mopar.com/street/products_srt4_stage1.htm) My car stock put down 224 to the wheels so dont think that you have beat some big mod with stage 1 go find a stage 2 or 3 car to race and you will find a hole different animal. I did read your hole post and did see that you were talking about if you had those mods. That is my point! All the mods you mentioned are only $500.00? What whp do they give the GTP. I have also raced GTP's here at the track they were spraying Alcohol and only ran mid to high 8ts in the 1/8 mile.

ahh, there ya go...I learn something new everyday. :) I honestly had no idea what a Stg. 1 SRT was, I just hear ALOT of guys around here refer to it. So, I guess all the guys around here, have a Stg. 1, plus intake and exhaust then.

As for $500 on a GTP, you could get the ported manifolds, 3" downpipe, a homebuilt 4" fenderwell intake, and a 3.4 pulley. Add some racegas, and you're looking at mid 8's easy in the 1/8 mi. Now, throw into that mix and aftermarket PCM, 1.9 rocker arms and LS6 springs, and you'll see low 8's with a sticky tire. Granted, these will be with optimal track conditions and great weather. ;) If you want to really see some serious HP though in a GTP, throw an intercooler on it, drop down a few pulley sizes, and run mid 7's. :) With those mods, a GTP should be good for 108-110 mph in the 1/4, depending on whether or not it's a 2-door or the 4-door.

But, to be honest, most all of the Stg. 1 guys around here are running high 8's, but with an obviously better trap speed. Like I said though, in 1/4 mi, it would be pretty close.

what the hell is stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3

you have to buy mods in a package???

[Phoenix57]

stage 1, 2, and 3 are performance packages from Mopar for SRT-4s. i think the stage 3 puts out around 300fwhp.

just an optional little package you could get on the 04-05 GTP's. It adds F1 style paddleshifters to your sterring wheel, so you can put the car in Manual mode, and use the tapshifters for upshifting and downshifting, it also includes better gearing, better suspension, better steering, and one or two other small lil things. Same hp an tq as a standard 04-05 GTP though. The better gearing helps slightly. ;)
