i was a big fan of the srt4 when it 1st came out. i mean, you have to give props to doge for making a car like that, for that price.

now as more time goes by, im begining to realize that they are the new civic in the car world. all these young kids buy them and do alot of ricer mods. i see so many of them with dumb side exhausts, bad rims, and all kinds of other crap.

SRT-4's are what F-bodys were back in the late 90's--cheap and fast out of the box, and that pissed everyone off because some idiot could go buy a car that'd blow the doors off of theirs, so they automatically said it was crap and that all the owners were idiots.

When in reality it's all just jealousy.... maybe not of the car itself--but of the speed.

The truth is that there's not much out there (new) that's faster for your dollar than an SRT-4. It's been like that since they originally went on sale. Tack on excellent aftermarket factory support and you've got a formula for success.

Even the old Neon DOHC coupes could spank any stock/lightly modded 6gc up and down all day. Some people just don't like to admit the truth because it's 1) a Dodge and 2) a Neon.

i dunno about the srt-4. cuz yeah, 1) its a dodge and 2) its a neon. but evo's and sti's are the hotness. turbo-charged awd power. but of course they're not as sexy as the gt-four. in fact i think they look ugly without their spoilers, which is something i cannot say about our celicas.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
i really like the sti look, interior and build quality, but when i noticed how their turbo is mounted about 4 feet away from the exhaust manifold, i was really turned off.

jealosy? Come on now. I have admitted they have respectable power. I just wouldn't buy one because they look like dog do-do.
